    WHAT IS TRANSPORTATION ?

    Transport means to make goods available to consumers. Transport makes possible movement
    of goods from one place to another with great ease and speed. Trade means exchange of
    goods and services. In trade there is movement of goods from surplus areas to scarcity areas.

    HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION
    As new inventions and discoveries were applied to transport problems, travel time decreased
    while the ability to move more and larger loads increased. Innovation continues as transport
    researchers are working to find new ways to reduce costs and increase transport efficiency.

    EVOLUTION OF TRANSPORT
    Invention of the wheel made a great change in modes of transport.The invention of
    steam engine introduced a new source of power. Railroads were made for steam engine driven
    carriages and wagons in the 16th century.
    The early years of 1900 saw the development of aeroplanes. These were later improved to
    carry passengers and goods.
    Electric trains, monorail,supersonic aeroplanes and spacecraft are some of the 20th century
    contributions to transportation.

    HOW DOES TRANSPORT ACTS AS AN AID TO TRADE?


    Easy means of transport facilitates large-scale production at low costs. It gives consumers the
    choice to make use of different quantities of goods at different prices. So it raises the standard
    of living of the people.

     Transport helps a lot in providing mobility to workers. You may be aware that people from our
    country go to foreign countries to work in different industries and factories.

    PRINCIPLE OF TRANSPORT PLANNNING.


    Improve Operational Efficiency

    The goal should be to choose the most cost effective and efficient solution to every problem. A
    strategy should be flexible and open to change, so that procedures can be adapted to evolving
    circumstances. Measure efficiency by reviewing operational data and establishing practical
    improvements based on virtual modelling with planning software.
    Improve Customer Service

    Your transport and distribution network is a core part of your service delivery strategy, allowing
    you to provide a good service to your customers. Every change should therefore be assessed in
    terms of its impact on customer service. A carefully managed transport plan can help you
    deliver improved service to your customers while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Your
    strategy should take a proactive approach to customer service, viewing every link in your supply
    chain as an opportunity to increase the value of your service and potentially attract new
    business.

    Improve Environmental Sustainability

    Any Transport Plan should be mindful of the impact a network has on the environment,
    especially in terms of fuel use, and emissions. Improving your fuel efficiency also has a direct
    economic impact on your business by reducing your fleet expenditure. Every logistics action will
    have a positive or negative impact on your carbon footprint, with ample room for improvement
    and savings. You may choose to reorganise your delivery routes to save time and fuel, upgrade
    your fleet with new, eco-friendly engines, or introduce guidelines to reduce engine idling.
    Building environmental sustainability into your strategic thinking will ensure that savings remain
    at the forefront of your mind when gathering and reviewing your operational data.

    TYPES OF TRANSPORTATION
    ROAD TRANSPORT : 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. However,
    in spite of various merits, road transport has some major limitations.

    WATER TRANSPORT : It has the largest carrying capacity and is most suitable for carrying bulky
    goods over long distances. It has played a very significant role in bringing different parts of the
    world closer and is indispensable to foreign trade.

    AIRWAY TRANSPORT : Air transport is an important enabler to achieving economic growth and
    development. Air transport facilitates integration into the global economy and provides vital
    connectivity on a national, regional, and international scale. It helps generate trade, promote
    tourism, and create employment opportunities.

     Take Pleasure Trips.
    PROBLEMS FACED BY TRANSPORT

     Transportation Challenges.
     Bulk Order Intensity Ratio.
     Hike In Fuel Cost.
     Unforeseen Delays in Transportation.
     Pitiable Warehousing Conditions.
     Inadequate and Overstressed Delivery Staff.

    ROLE OF TRANSPORT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT


    A good transport system can broaden the market for goods. It can also make the
    movement of raw materials, fuel, equipment, etc. to the places of production easy.This
    leads to the start of industries which specialize in these goods. let’s take a quick look at
    the transport system and understand how it contributes to the economic development in
    India. To encourage economic growth, governments need to invest in logistics
    infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports and ports.

    ROLE OF TRANSPORTATION IN MARKET EXPANSION

    Markets for both industrial and agricultural produce expand both on the domestic and
    international front with the expansion of transport network. For example, through the
    expansion of road, rail and water transport, it got good success making links between
    different parts of the country and with other countries of the world.

    ROLE OF TRANSPORT IN AGRICULTURE

    In order to produce food, farmers need certain resources, such as seed, fertilizers,
    pesticides, packaging materials, and many others. Precisely because of that, transport
    is an essential aspect of crop production that enables delivery of agricultural resources
    to a farmer. Furthermore, transport is a burning component of post-harvest crop
    management. After all, every harvested crop needs to be transported, either directly
    from the field to the market, or to the packing house and storage.
    ROLE OF TRANSPORTATION IN EDUCATION EXPANSION

    Developed means of transport helps in the expansion of education even in remote


    areas of the country. It provides mobility to teachers, students and teaching aids. Means
    of transport are the source of advertisement also. In this way, they also help in
    expanding education.

    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VILLAGES AND CITIES

    Means of transport has reduced distance between villages and cities. Men and
    materials move from villages to cities and from cities to villages. Villagers can now avail
    of the employment opportunities available in cities. Villages, in close contact of cities
    develop faster.

    ROLE OF TRANSPORT IN GLOBALISATION OF TRADE


    Globalization depends upon transport. That dependence can be seen in history as the
    evolution and change in patterns of urban settlement can be closely linked to the
    structure and organization of the transport system in place at any particular time.

    Within cities too, globalization has been imprinted through transport, often initially
    around the port and harbors.

    OTHER BENEFITS OF TRANSPORTATION AS AN AID TO TRADE


    Means of transport brings together persons living at different corners of the country.
    They exchange their views. They have the common problems, because of their living
    together.

    Transportation has reduced distance. As a result, we enjoy the position to use various
    varieties of things produced in different corners of the world. These standard
    commodities increase our standard living which depends upon goods and services, we
    consume.

    Transport helps to create employment opportunities and thus, it provides employment


    through helping mobility of workers. About 18 lakhs people are employed in Indian
    railways. In the same way, lakhs of people are employed in roadways, shipping and air
    transport.
