"Transport (in British English) or transportation (in American English) is the intentional movement of humans, animals, and goods from one location to another."
The networks of roads, highways, railroads, airports and seaports that facilitate economic activity and movement of people and goods.
Transportation modes and systems: An overview of different modes of transportation, such as trains, buses, cars, bikes, and walking. Topics may include how they interact with each other, their functions and benefits, and their impact on the environment.
Infrastructure planning and financing: Understanding how infrastructure is planned, designed, and financed. Topics may include public-private partnerships, government funding, and the role of banks and private investors.
Land use and transportation: How transportation infrastructure affects land use in urban areas. Topics may include the relationship between transportation and city design, zoning laws, and the impact of transportation on property values.
Traffic flow and congestion: Theories and techniques for modeling and analyzing traffic flow and congestion. Topics may include network modeling, optimization, and simulation.
Transit-oriented development: An idea that integrates public transportation and urban design. Topics may include zoning laws, infrastructure design, and the relationship between transportation and housing.
Environmental impacts of transportation: The relationship between transportation and the environment. Topics may include pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the impact of transportation on natural habitats and ecosystems.
Accessibility and equity: Examining how transportation infrastructure can create opportunities or hinder them. Topics may include social justice, access to education and employment, and urban planning.
Infrastructure safety: Understanding safety concerns and solutions for transportation infrastructure. Topics may include incident management, safety regulations, and prevention methods.
Intelligent transportation systems: The use of technology to improve transportation systems. Topics may include traffic management, real-time information systems, and remote sensing.
Multimodal transportation: An approach that integrates various modes of transportation. Topics may include integrated ticketing, intermodal communication, and flexible routing systems.
Roads: A network of paved or unpaved pathways designed for vehicular traffic.
Highways: A major road designed for high speed vehicular traffic, typically featuring multiple lanes and controlled access.
Bridges and Tunnels: Structures designed to facilitate transportation across waterways or geographic obstacles.
Railways: A network of rails and trains used for transportation of passengers and goods.
Airports: A facility designed for aircraft landing, takeoff, and maintenance.
Ports and Harbours: Docking facilities for ships, boats, and other maritime vessels.
Waterways: A natural or artificial watercourse used for transportation purposes.
Public Transit: A system of buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation designed to facilitate movement of individuals within a city or region.
Parking Facilities: Infrastructure specifically designed for the temporary storage of personal vehicles, typically located in close proximity to high traffic areas.
Bike and Pedestrian Infrastructure: Sidewalks, trails, bike lanes, and other infrastructure specifically designed for non-motorized transportation.
Mass Transit Systems: Public transportation systems designed to move large numbers of people quickly and efficiently, such as subways or light rail systems.
Freight Infrastructure: Infrastructure designed specifically for the movement of goods, such as ports, railways, and highways.
Intelligent Transportation Systems: Advanced technological systems used to manage traffic flow and improve transportation safety and efficiency.
Utilities Infrastructure: Infrastructure designed to manage the flow of important utilities such as water, gas, and electricity throughout a region.
Communication Infrastructure: Infrastructure designed to support telecommunications and other forms of communication.
"The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles, and operations."
"Modes of transport include air, land (rail and road), water, cable, pipelines, and space."
"Transport enables human trade, which is essential for the development of civilizations."
"Transport infrastructure consists of both fixed installations, including roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals, and pipelines, and terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals, refueling depots, and seaports."
"Terminals may be used both for the interchange of passengers and cargo and for maintenance."
"They may include vehicles, riding animals, and pack animals. Vehicles may include wagons, automobiles, bicycles, buses, trains, trucks, helicopters, watercraft, spacecraft, and aircraft."
