Transport• TRANSPORT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF INDIA'S ECONOMY BUT

IT IS POOR IN COMPARISON WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.

• SINCE THE LIBERALIZATION OF THE 1990S, INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT HAS PROGRESSED RAPIDLY; TODAY THERE IS A VARIETY OF MODES OF TRANSPORT BY LAND, WATER AND AIR.

• HOWEVER, INDIA'S RELATIVELY LOW GDP PER CAPITA HAS MEANT THAT ACCESS TO TRANSPORT HAS NOT BEEN UNIFORM.

• PUBLIC TRANSPORT REMAINS THE PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORT FOR MOST OF THE LIVELIHOOD INDIA, AND INDIA'S PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMS ARE AMONG THE MOST HEAVILY USED IN THE WORLD.

Fastest car in the world

SSC ThrustFastest land vehicle • ThrustSSC, Thrust SSC, or Thrust supersonic car, is

a British jet-propelled car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher,Ron Ayers and Jeremy Bliss.[1]

• Thrust SSC holds the World Land Speed Record, set on 15 October 1997, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first car to officially break the sound barrier.

• The current holder of the Outright World Land Speed Record is ThrustSSC, a twin turbofan jet-powered car which achieved 763.035 mph - 1227.985 km/h - over one mile in October 1997. This was the first supersonic record as it broke the sound barrier at Mach 1.016

Waterways• A waterway is any navigable body of water. A shipping route consists of

one or several waterways. • Waterways can include rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, and canals. In the

waterway must be deep enough to allow the draft depth of the vessels using it.

• India has an extensive network of inland waterways in the form of rivers, canals, backwaters and creeks.

• The total navigable length is 14,500 km, out of which about 5200 km of the river and 4000 km of canals can be used by mechanised crafts.

• Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) is the statutory authority in charge of the waterways in India. Its headquarters is located in Noida, UP. It does the function of building the necessary infrastructure in these waterways, surveying the economic feasibility of new projects and also administration.

• Till 2010, an amount of ₹1,117 crore (US$170 million) was spent on Inland waterways of India

German U boat

German U boatA Historic Submarine• While the German term refers to any submarine,

the English one (in common with several other languages) refers specifically to military submarines operated by Germany, particularly in the First and Second World Wars.

• Although at times they were efficient fleet weapons against enemy naval warships, they were most effectively used in an economic warfare role (commerce raiding), enforcing a naval blockade against enemy shipping.

• The primary targets of the U-boat campaigns in both wars were the merchant convoys bringing supplies from Canada, the British Empire, and the United States to the United Kingdom and (during the Second World War) to the Soviet Union and the Allied territories in the Mediterranean.

Airways• Airways is a form of travel in vehicles such as helicopters, hot air

balloons, blimps, gliders, hang gliding, parachuting, airplanes or anything else that can sustain flight.

• Use of airways has greatly increased in recent decades - worldwide it doubled between the mid-1980s and the year 2000.

• Air travel can be separated into two general classifications: national/domestic and international flights.

• Flights from one point to another within the same country are called domestic flights.

• Flights from a point in one country to a point within a different country are known as international flights. Travelers can use domestic or international fights in either private or public travel.

• Cargo aircraft or freighters, fixed-wing aircraft designed or converted for the carriage of goods, rather than passengers, lacking in passenger amenities and generally featuring one or more large doors for loading cargo; also known as freight aircraft, freighters, airlifters, or cargo jets.

Pod PlaneThe future transport

Pod Plane

• It allows cargo to be moved cheaply from one mode of transport to another and has facilitated the development of the complex supply chains all modern economies rely on.

• Transfer from truck to giant cargo ship to freight train is seamless and the container can be used again and again, drastically reducing the cost of long-distance shipping.

• That's the magic of inter-modal transport -- and it's something the futuristic and potentially game-changing Clip-Air concept hopes to emulate.

• Then there's the capsules, a number of detachable pods that can act as cabin or cargo hold, depending on the chosen configuration.

Railways• Rail transport is a means of conveyance of passengers and

goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, also known astracks. • It is also commonly referred to as train transport. • In contrast to road transport, where vehicles run on a prepared

flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run.

• Indian Railways (reporting mark IR) is an Indian state-owned enterprise, owned and operated by the Government of India through the Ministry of Railways.

• It is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 67,312 km (41,826 mi) and 7,112 stations.

• In 2015-16, IR carried 8.101 billion passengers annually or more than 22 million passengers a day and 1.107 billion tons of freight in the year.

The United States has the world's longest railway network, followed by China and India. Railway-technology.com profiles the 10 largest railway networks in the world based on total operating length. The United States has the world's longest railway network, followed by China and India.

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.

Cable transport is a broad class of transport modes that have cables as foundation for transporting things, people, or vehicles. The cable may be driven or passive; items may be moved by pulling, sliding, sailing, or by drives within the object being moved on cableways. The use of pulleys and balancing of loads going up and down are common elements of cable transport.They are also used in mountainous areas.

The Space Transportation System (STS), also known internally to NASA as the Integrated Program Plan (IPP),[1] was a proposed system of reusable manned space vehicles envisioned in 1969 to support extended operations beyond the Apollo program. (NASA appropriated the name for its Space Shuttle Program, the only component of the proposal to survive Congressional funding approval.)

Communications• Communications are the ways of sending information to people by using

technology• Communication studies integrates aspects of both social sciences and the

humanities. • Much of the work being done in the field is academic in nature. • As a social science, the discipline often overlaps with sociology, psychology,

anthropology, biology, political science, economics, and public policy, amongst others.

• From a humanities perspective, communication is concerned with rhetoric and persuasion.

• Often you would come across organizations that stress the importance of good communication management. It's empirical for an organization to have a proper communication management.

• Once this is achieved, the organization is one step closer to achieving its overall business objectives. Communication management refers to a systematic plan, which implements and monitors the channels and content of communication.

What are the positive impacts of communication technology?• Some communication that would allow groups of people to further

develop positive aspects of communication technology include unfettered worldwide p projects and relationships with an alternative or previously unthought of view.

• The advantages of new communication technologies far outweigh the old modes of traditional letter writing

• Another positive aspect of communication technology is the opportunity for direct and instant contact with anyone who holds an Internet-enabled device.

• This allows for cost-effective, efficient communication. People no longer have to be flown overseas for business transactions, usually saving a company quite a bit of money.

• Storage of information also becomes easier, as there is less need for large filing cabinets.

• A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social actors (such as individuals or organizations), sets of dyadic ties, and other social interactions between actors. The social network perspective provides a set of methods for analyzing the structure of whole social entities as well as a variety of theories explaining the patterns observed in these structures. The study of these structures uses social network analysis to identify local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine network dynamics.

• Social networks and the analysis of them is an inherently interdisciplinary academic field which emerged from social psychology,sociology, statistics, and graph theory. Georg Simmel authored early structural theories in sociology emphasizing the dynamics of triads and "web of group affiliations".

• Jacob Moreno is credited with developing the first sociograms in the 1930s to study interpersonal relationships. These approaches were mathematically formalized in the 1950s and theories and methods of social networks became pervasive in the social and behavioral sciences by the 1980s.
