QUESTION 1
The characteristics of transport supply are shaped by a combination of technological,
strategic, institutional, and behavioural elements. These factors influence the availability,
quality, and cost-efficiency of transport services, thereby determining how transport
systems function within an economy.
1. Technology
Transport technology is a key determinant of transport supply. It refers to the systems
and tools used to support, guide, propel, control, and house transport units. Examples
include the infrastructure used in road, rail, air, and sea transport, as well as the vehicles
and communication systems involved. Each transport mode relies on a unique
technological base that impacts its efficiency, speed, and capacity. For instance, rail
systems require tracks and signalling infrastructure, while air transport depends on
complex avionics and airport technology. The choice of technology directly influences
