TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
Sustainable Transportation Planning

FUNCTIONS OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING (Scope)
Forecasting future population and employment growth, including assessing projected land uses in the region and identifying major growth corridors.
Identifying current and projected future transportation problems and needs and analyzing, through detailed planning studies, various transportation improvement strategies to address those needs.
Developing long-range plans and short-range goals of alternative capital improvement and operational strategies for moving people and goods.

Transportation Planning Levels

What is RAIL Rail Transport
It is a means of transport, on vehicles which run on tracks (rails or railroads).
It is one of the most important, commonly used and very cost
effective modes of commuting and goods carriage over long, as well as, short distances.
Since this system runs on metal (usually steel) rails and wheels, it has an inherent benefit of lesser frictional resistance which helps attach more load in terms of wagons or carriages.
Trains are powered by an engine locomotive running on electricity or on diesel.
Complex signaling systems are utilised if there are multiple route networks.

What is ROAD TRANSPORT
Road transport means transportation of goods and personnel from one place to the other on roads.
Road is a route between two destinations, which has
been either paved or worked on to enable
transportation by way of motorised and non-motorised carriages.
The cost of construction, operating cost and maintaining roads is cheaper than that of the railways.
Sometimes road transport is the only way for carrying goods and people to and from rural areas which are not catered to by rail, water or air transport. Delivery of
goods between cities, towns and small villages is made possible only through road transport.

What is WATER TRANSPORT
Water transport is the process of transport a watercraft, such as a barge, boat, ship or sailboat, over a body of water, such as a sea, ocean, lake, canal or river.
Ship transport is often international by nature. It is frequently undertaken for purposes of commerce, recreation or military
objectives. When a cargo is carried by more than one mode, the transport is termed intermodal or co-modal.
Ship transport is used for a variety of unpackaged raw
materials ranging from chemicals, petroleum products and
bulk cargo such as coal, iron ore, cereals, bauxite. So called "general cargo" covers goods that are packaged to some extent in boxes, cases, pallets, barrels, etc.

What is Air Transport
The mobility of men and material by air is called air transport.
It is the fastest means of transport. It is very useful for
long distances and saves time.
Air freight transportation is a fast and efficient shipping

What is PIPELINES
Pipeline transport is the mode of transportation of goods or
material through a pipe.
Liquids and gases are transported in pipelines and any chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline.
Pipelines exist for the transport of crude and refined petroleum, fuels - such as oil, natural gas and biofuels - and other fluids including sewage, slurry, water and beer.
Pipelines are useful for transporting water for drinking or irrigation over long distances when it needs to move over hills or where
canals or channels are poor choices due to considerations of evaporation, pollution, or environmental impact.
Even solids can also be transported through pipelines after converting them into slurry.

INTERMODAL:
Intermodal shipping is a method of moving cargo that involves more than one kind of transportation, whether truck, rail, ship or plane.
It uses special containers so goods can be transferred from ship to rail to truck without having to be repacked.

[syedmuhammadjan]

Sir underground tunnel is a type of mode transportation ?

[waseemalam]

I would suggest make a short video, such kind of long video make us bored and kindly change your method use white board rather than computer slides
Thanks 😊
