"Transport (in British English) or transportation (in American English) is the intentional movement of humans, animals, and goods from one location to another."
Understanding of the physical infrastructure required for transportation such as roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, and transit stations.
Modes of Transportation: Understanding the different modes of transportation (such as roadways, railways, airways, waterways) and their strengths and weaknesses.
Transportation Planning Process: Understanding the different steps involved in transportation planning, including data collection, analysis, and stakeholder engagement.
Traffic Engineering: Understanding the principles of traffic flow, congestion, and safety.
Transportation Economics: Understanding the economic principles that impact transportation planning and policy.
Transportation Funding and Finance: Understanding the different sources of transportation funding and the process of project finance.
Environmental Impact: Understanding the environmental impact of transportation infrastructure and ways to mitigate it.
Public Transit Planning: Understanding the planning and design of public transit systems, including the integration of different modes of transportation.
Transportation and Land-Use: Understanding the relationship between transportation and land-use patterns, and how they can be integrated for better urban development.
Transportation Policy: Understanding the role of government in transportation policy, including regulations, incentives, and investment.
Intelligent Transportation Systems: Understanding the use of technology for transportation management and optimization.
Infrastructure Maintenance and Asset Management: Understanding the need for infrastructure maintenance and effective asset management.
Safety and Security: Understanding the importance of safety and security in transportation, including minimizing accidents and preventing security threats.
Sustainable Transportation: Understanding the importance of sustainable transportation, including reducing environmental impact and promoting social equity.
Freight Transportation: Understanding the planning and optimization of freight transportation systems.
Active Transportation: Understanding the planning and design of infrastructure for active transportation modes such as cycling, walking, and micro-mobility.
Roads: A network of paved or unpaved surfaces for vehicles to travel on.
Highways: Major roads intended for high speed, long distance travel. Typically includes multiple lanes, interchanges, and limited access.
Bridges: Structures that provide a path for vehicles and pedestrians over physical barriers such as waterways, ravines, and valleys.
Tunnels: Underground passages for vehicles and pedestrians to travel through.
Railways: A system of tracks and trains utilized for the transportation of goods and passengers.
Airports: Facilities where airplanes can take off, land, and taxi on runways.
Sea ports: Harbors, docks, and other facilities that accommodate the arrival and departure of ships, goods, and passengers.
Canals: Waterways that connect bodies of water, allowing for the transportation of goods and passengers by boat.
Public transportation systems: Modes of transportation that are generally considered for public use, including buses, subways, trams, and light rail systems.
Bicycle paths: Dedicated lanes, routes, or paths used by cyclists.
Pedestrian walkways: Designed for pedestrians, typically sidewalks or trails for walking.
High-speed rail: A rapid transit system consisting of trains traveling at high speeds of 150-200 mph.
Autonomous vehicle lanes: Dedicated lanes or roadways specifically for the use of self-driving cars.
Electric vehicle charging stations: Infrastructure for charging electric vehicles, often located at rest areas, parking lots, or public areas.
Freight and logistics hubs: Transportation infrastructure hubs that function as centers for receiving and dispatching goods, such as warehouses, distribution centers, and loading docks.
"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."
