Types of Transport Systems And It's alignment with Human life

 

WHAT IS TRANSPORTATION.

 

          The Latin root of the word "transport" is trans, which means "across," and Porto, which means "to carry," giving us the meaning "to carry across." Transportation can be defined as the "moving, placing, or displacement of products, animals, or people from one place to another one." Simply said, there are two categories of transportation: natural and medium involvement. Natural transportation comprises walking, running, and swimming. Medium involves animal- and machinery-powered transportation. The growth of trade and human civilization are both correlated with transportation. The lives of people are connected to transportation in the same way. We are aware that the development of the wheel was essential to the advancement of society and mankind. Bullocks horse-drawn carriages and chariots were employed in antiquity to move people and goods, but not livestock or other animals. Now that everything has changed, everyone is treated equally.

CLASSIFICATION OF TRNSPORTATION.

        Transportation can be categorized in a number of ways depending on who owns the vehicle. Public transportation includes trains, buses, and airplanes. Private transportation includes private buses, airliners, vehicles, helicopters, ships, and yachts (car trucks, tractors bikes).The modes of transportation include rails, roads (cars, buses, trucks, and bikes), helicopters, fighter planes, rockets, and waterways.

We categorize transportation systems as human carriers, animal carriers, commodities carriers, space carriers, special purpose vehicles, and armament or weapon carriers based on their intended use.

          The following categories are used to categorize additional good transporters, including public transportation and privately owned or operated vehicles: Carriers of frozen goods, dry goods, medical equipment, hazardous items, and confidential materials may be carried by solid material carriers, liquid material carriers, gaseous material carriers, and again goods carriers.

         We can categorize automobiles Bicycles, tricycles, and monocycles are examples of human-powered vehicles, as are carts pulled by people. We have horse carts, bullock carts, and other animal-powered vehicles. When it comes to fuel-powered vehicles, there are two categories: those that run on fossil fuels (such buses, cars, bikes, trucks, etc.) and those that run on renewable energy sources (electrical solar powered and hydrogen powered).

RECENT TRENDS IN TRANSPORTATION.

        Now that some businesses, including Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, are working to construct commercial spacecraft flights, space travel is also available. Additionally, receiving significant media notice is Heli taxi. The long-awaited, actualizing hyper loop also seeks to change the idea of train transportation. The people can enjoy a flexible riding experience and save money by using least monocycles.

         Vehicle infrastructure and operations may be required for successful transportation. When it comes to public transportation, operations are critical, and vehicles and infrastructure are shared by all modes of transportation. The government is responsible for developing, approving, and controlling these three major modes of transportation. Because the government is in charge of the finances, legalities, approvals, policies, and dispute resolutions for all of these main pillars.

WHY WE NEED TRANSPORTATION:

         Everyone must work to support their own means of subsistence. Before COVID 19, the workforce was designed to work in offices, requiring employees of various organizations to go from one location to another. Now, we have this new norm or option to work from home. Transportation is necessary for every group, not only those who work in factories. Students need it to access their education, participate in sports, and other activities. Healthcare professionals need it to access medical facilities, and those who are ill need it to access hospitals. Consumers must travel in order to buy goods and use services, while businesspeople must inspect, run, and monitor their companies as well as expand their networks. Production companies must transfer goods to distributors, who then must distribute them to retailers. People need to interact with one another; they can do this through attending gatherings, talks, parties, concerts, and other entertainment events. Both recreational and pilgrim camps are options for travelers.

PROBLEMS FACED DUE TO LACK OF TRANSPORTATION.

            Even though the government oversees all of the major components of the transportation system, there is still potential for improvement. In cities and large metropolitan areas, there are many various transportation options available, but in rural portions of the country, things are different. Rural residents have limited access to many forms of transportation and must make do with a few of them. These mediums must set up their own vehicle for movement since they are time-constrained or time-fixed exclusively. It is getting harder for people and children who are in school to get to their destinations since there is a lack of transit options. Older folks, those with disabilities, women who are pregnant, those who are unwell and in pain also struggle to receive medical care.

              In addition, there are challenges with the supply chain, slower economic growth, and food waste as a result of this issue. When it comes to natural disasters and man-made catastrophes, it is quite dangerous for the populace.

BENEFITS/ ADVANTAGES OF TRANSPORTATION:

             We ultimately save time, which is the most valuable resource in the world, thanks to transportation. Our community's development is aided by transportation. Mass transit or public transportation not only lowers the cost of travel but also promotes social interaction. The key factor influencing economic activity is transportation. When supply and demand are balanced, the economy is created, and transportation is a crucial factor in making this happen. Transportation both lowers our fuel consumption and, on the other side, increases it. We feel safer when we're travelling. We can deliver goods and services from businesses to clients with the aid of transportation. Additionally, it plays a significant part in reducing service delays and the deterioration of harvest or food waste. Transportation enables us to provide medical assistance to those in need as quickly as possible during an emergency.
