    CE 345: Transportation Engineering

    Transportation:
    Movement of people and goods

    1- Introduction

    Transportation

    Modes of Transportation:

    Mobility is dependent on the existence of adequate


    transportation facilities.

    1. Highway Transportation (cars)

    Transportation is a principal component of the economic,


    social cultural,
    social,
    cultural and political structures of our society and
    thus a vital factor in civilization.

    2. Rail Transportation (trains)

    Transportation is a major contributor in the exchange of


    cultural ideas among human beings.

    4. Water Transportation (ships)

    3. Air Transportation (airplanes)

    5. pipeline Transportation

    (oil, gas,)

    Roles of Transportation in Society:

    B. Socially:

    A. Economically:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4
    4.

    Transportation makes goods and services available.


    It makes effective use of natural resources
    Expansion of trade
    Decentralization of industries & promotion of regional
    specialization
    5. Increasing large scale production & reducing the cost of
    production
    6. Providing competition that produces low prices & high
    quality
    Transportation level is an index of economy and development.

    1. Provides mobility for cultural, recreational and


    social purposes
    2. Affects population distribution and housing
    requirements
    3. Affects employment opportunities

    C.Environmentally:

    D. Politically:

    Its pollution affects the air, water & land


    qualities which are dangerous to human
    human,
    animal & plant lives.

    1. Increase the ability of the country to defend itself


    2. Promotes the political unity of the nation

    Transportation Problems:
    Transportation Engineering

    1. Congestion, pollution

    Transportation Engineering is a branch of the


    engineering that deals with planning, design, &
    operation of various transportation systems and their
    components, to achieve a safe, efficient, convenient
    and economical movement of persons and goods.

    2. Energy problems (because of political and


    natural causes)
    3. Environmental problems (effects on air,
    water, land, and other aspects of human,
    animal, and plant life)
    4. Safety problems

    Trends in Transportation Development

    System Approach to Problem Solving:


    1. Identifying the problem

    1. Integration of transportation systems

    2. Defining goals and objectives in solving the


    problem

    2. Optimization of transportation systems

    3. Searching for alternative methods of


    meeting the requirement

    3. Employment of computers & new


    t h l i
    technologies
    4. Minimization of energy use

    4. Choosing & developing the best alternative

    5. Increasing efficiency of existing facilities

    5. Implementing its operation
