"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 infrastructure that allow for transportation, including highways, railroads, airports, and ports.
Modes of Transportation: This topic covers the different types of transportation modes used to move goods and people from one place to another, including road, rail, air, and water transport.
Transport Networks: This topic covers the physical and virtual connections between various transportation modes and routes. It includes road networks, rail networks, air transport networks, and water transport networks such as ports, canals, and rivers.
Transport Planning: This topic deals with the process of developing and designing transport infrastructures to efficiently and effectively transport goods and people from one place to another. It includes traffic engineering, traffic flow analysis, and urban planning.
Transportation Technology: This topic covers the technology behind transportation infrastructure, including vehicle design, traffic management systems, and transport information systems.
Economic and Environmental Impacts of Transportation: This topic deals with the social, economic, and environmental impact of transport systems on society. Examples include carbon emissions, air pollution, and traffic congestion.
Logistics Management: This topic covers the efficient movement of goods from one place to another, focusing on factors such as warehousing, inventory management, and distribution.
Intermodal Transportation: This topic deals with the movement of goods and people across different transportation modes, including rail, road, water, and air transport.
Transport Infrastructure Financing: This topic covers the funding and financing mechanisms of transportation infrastructure, including public-private partnerships, government financing, and user fees.
Transportation Safety: This topic deals with improving the safety of transport systems by reducing accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
International Transport Policy: This topic covers the policies and regulations governing transport systems globally, including international trade and transport agreements.
Road Infrastructure: Includes all types of roads such as highways, expressways, and local roads, designed and developed for vehicular transportation.
Rail Infrastructure: Includes tracks for trains, railways stations, and facilities for loading and unloading of goods.
Air Infrastructure: Includes airports, air traffic control towers, and runways for airplanes to land and takeoff.
Sea Infrastructure: Includes ports and harbors, docking facilities, and systems for loading and unloading of ships.
Pipeline Infrastructure: Includes long-distance pipelines for the transportation of oil, natural gas, and other liquids.
Urban Infrastructure: Includes mass transit systems such as buses, train networks, and light rails for urban transportation.
Intermodal Infrastructure: Includes the transportation of goods and people across different modes of transportation by using a combination of road, rail, air, and seaport infrastructure.
Bicycle Infrastructure: Includes bicycle lanes, paths, and specialized routes designed for the transportation of bicycles.
Pedestrian Infrastructure: Includes sidewalks, crossing platforms, bridges, and tunnels for the transportation of pedestrians.
Cable Infrastructure: Includes cable cars, gondolas and other cable-based systems for passenger transportation.
Waterway Infrastructure: Includes rivers, canals, and other navigable waterways, along with the infrastructure for using them as transportation routes.
Transport Terminals: Includes bus terminals, airports, and train stations, and facilities for loading and unloading passengers and goods.
"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."
