Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across") and portare ("to carry").
Aspects of transport
The field of transport has several aspects: loosely they can be divided into a triad of
infrastructure ,
vehicle s, and
operations . Infrastructure includes the transport networks (
road s,
railway s,
airways ,
waterway s,
canal s,
pipelines , etc.) that are used, as well as the nodes or terminals (such as
airport s,
railway station s,
bus station s and
seaport s). The vehicles generally ride on the networks, such as
automobile s,
bicycles ,
buses ,
train s,
airplane s. The operations deal with the control of the system, such as
traffic signal s and
ramp meter s,
railroad switch es,
air traffic control , etc, as well as policies, such as how to
finance the system (for example, the use of
tolls or
gasoline tax es).
Broadly speaking, the design of networks are the domain of civil engineering and urban planning , the design of vehicles of mechanical engineering and specialized subfields such as nautical engineering and aerospace engineering , and the operations are usually specialized, though might appropriately belong to operations research or systems engineering .
