GLOBALIZATION

Question 5

enabled the transfer of ownership and operation of many transport modes to the private sector and favored the entry of new actors. This was particularly the case in the airline industry.

Answer 5

Deregulation and privatization

Question 6

enabled better coordination of investments, improving the efficiency of interconnected transportation networks and the related supply chains.

Answer 6

A broader focus of policies

Question 7

have a large number of instruments at their disposal to carry out transport policies.

Answer 7

GOVERNMENT

Question 8

is the direct control by the state of transportation infrastructure, modes, or terminals is widespread. The most common is the provision by public agencies of transport infrastructure such as roads, ports, airports, and canals.

Answer 8

Public ownership

Question 9

represent an important instrument used to pursue policy goals. Most public transit systems are subsidized to provide mobility since full-cost recovery would make fares unaffordable to the poorer segments of the population.

Answer 9

SUBSIDIES

Question 10

represents a means of influencing the shape of transportation that is widely employed. By setting up public agencies to oversee particular sections of the transport industry, governments can influence the entire character and performance of the industry.

Answer 10

REGULATORY CONTROL

Question 11

Main transport policy instruments

Answer 11

-PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
-SUBSIDIES
-REGULATORY CONTROL
-LABOR REGULATIONS
-SAFETY AND STANDARDS
-RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Question 12

TYPES OF TRANSPORT REGULATIONS

Answer 12

-ECONOMIC REGULATIONS
-OPERATING REGULATIONS
-ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

Question 13

Terminals remain largely under State or municipal ownership, but concession agreements to private operators are common.

Answer 13

Ownership of ports and airports

Question 14

remain one of the most significant and enduring commitments of public funds.

Answer 14

Highway provision, upgrade, and maintenance

Question 15

remain dominantly publicly owned and operated. Intercity transport is mostly private, which brings the question of whether urban transportation would gain to be privatized

Answer 15

Urban transit systems

Question 16

between large private or public entities in the transport sector are commonly subject to regulatory approval to prevent monopolistic behavior. Alliances between major carriers, such as the maritime and air industry, are also sources of contention and regulatory oversight

Answer 16

Mergers, acquisitions, and alliances

Question 17

 It is the combination of elements and their interactions, which produce the demand for travel within a given area and the supply of transportation services to satisfy this demand.

Answer 17

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

Question 18

can be conceptualized as the set of relationships between nodes, networks, and demand.

Answer 18

TRANSPORT SYSTEM

Question 19

A derived function for the mobility of people, freight, and information for a variety of socioeconomic activities.

Answer 19

DEMAND

Question 20

Where movements are originating, ending, and transiting (intermediacy), entry or exit points in a transport system.

Answer 20

NODES

Question 21

Composed of a set of linkages expressing the connectivity between places and the capacity to handle passenger or cargo volumes.

Answer 21

NETWORKS

Question 22

Nodes where demand is expressed as an origin, destination, or point of transit. The level of spatial accumulation of socioeconomic activities (production and consumption) jointly defines demand and where this demand is taking place.

Answer 22

LOCATION

Question 23

The amount of traffic over a network, which is composed of nodes and linkages. This is jointly a function of the demand and the capacity of the linkages to support them.

Answer 23

FLOWS

Question 24

The conveyances such as roads and terminals expressing the physical reality of a network and are designed to handle demand with specific volume and frequency characteristics. Facilities enabling access to a network are jointly characterized by their centrality and the linkages that radiate from them.

Answer 24

INFRASTRUCTURES

Question 27

Consist of waterways, ports, and intermodal landside connections.

Answer 27
