,Transportation


Begins at an origin and ends at a destination. Everything involved in moving persons or
goods from origin to destination. Derived need for people and goods to be in one
place from another.


Transportation Engineering


Application of the principles of engineering, planning, analysis, and design to the
disciplines comprising transportation: vehicles, physical infrastructure, safety,
environmental impacts, energy usage


Intermodal Transfer Points


Places where there is a change of mode of transportation.




Disciplines of Transportation Engineering


Vehicles, physical infrastructure, safety, environmental impacts, energy usage


Transportation Function


Provide for the movement of persons and goods from one place to another safely and
efficiently, with minimum negative impact on the environment.

, Transportation Utility (aspects of use)


-Access to Space or Location
-Reasonable Travel Time
-Low Cost



Space or Location Utility


Function of creating access, origin to destination. Locations that become open by our
transportation engineering.


Time Utility


Related to the Trip Speed of transportation from origin to destination, not vehicle speed.
How long will it take for people to get from one place to another? How long do they
need to take to get there?


Cost Utility


How cost-effective is this transportation? How can we make it more cost-effective?


Three Legs of Transportation System


-Putting the System in Place
-Issues for Viability
-Components of Transportation


Components of Transportation


Modes, movements, and flow.


Modal diversity, vehicles, way, power control, technology of movement, inter-connection,
drivers, pilots, passengers, freight.
