Glossary

Incur - způsobit, přivodit, zapříčinit

Conveyance - dopravní prostředek, přeprava

Bulk cargo – objemný náklad

Perishable – rychle se kazící, netrvanlivé zboží

Crude oil – surová ropa

Transport

GeneralThe movement of people, animals and goods from one location to another

A key component of economic growth and globalization

Air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space

Infrastructure, vehicles and operations

Modes of transport Elements

Transport

Passenger transport

Public - operators provide scheduled services

Private

Air, water and soil pollutionLarge amounts of landNoise and vibrationWaste production…

Negative effects

Mode of transport

Different ways to perform transport

Each mode of transport:

has fundamentally different technological

solution

some require a separate environment

has its own infrastructure, vehicles and

operations

often has unique regulations

has its own advantage and disadvantage

Mode of transport

Suitable choice depends on:

cost

capability

route

speed

Intermodal/multimodal transport

using more then one mode

Mode of transport

Human-powered

Animal-powered

Sometimes regarded as their own mode

Normally also fall into the other categories

Air transport - Aviation

Quick transport of people and limited amounts of cargo over longer distances

The basic elements of the system:

aircraft (airplane, helicopter, satellites)

air route (airport, air traffic services, airspace)

Is characterized by relative high safety

Experience the fastest growth

Incur high costs & energy useGreater dependence on weather

Causes air & noise pollution

Land transport - Rail

Conveyance of passengers and goods by way of wheeled vehicles running on rail track

A train consist of :a railway carriage (one

or more connected vehicles)

a locomotive (steam, diesel or electric)

Transportation of heavy & bulk cargo

Suitability for medium & long-distance

High reliability of supply

Lower energy consumption than road transport

More environmentally friendly than road & air transport

Reduced room for manoeuvre

Land transport - RoadThe set of activities that ensure passengers and goods transportation by way of wheeled vehicles usually on roads or paved roads

Users of road:carbustruckmotorcycletrolleybicyclepedestrians

Lowest transit time (especially for short distances)

Dense network of road infrastructure

The main source of noise & air pollution in cities

Flexibility - vehicle may be sent at any time to meet the transport task

Land transport - ShipMovement by means of a watercraft carrying people (passengers) or goods (cargo)

A watercraft include (basic division):

a bargea boata shipa sailboat

Highly effective method of transporting large quantities of non-perishable goods

Less costly than air transport for transcontinental shipping

Less speed

Lower energy consumption than road transport

More environmentally friendly than road & air transport

Pipeline transport

The transportation of goods through a pipe

Most commonly, liquids and gases are sent

As for gases and liquids, any chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline

The most valuable are those transporting crude oil and refined oil product including fuels:

oilnatural gasbiofuels

High reliability & safety of deliveries

High input costs of implementing management

Cable transport

Mode where vehicles are pulled cables instead of an internal power supply

It is most commonly used in a steep climb

Typical solutions:cable carelevatorescalatorski lift

Transportation of loads in inaccessible terrain

High initial investment

Space transport

Transport out of Earth's atmosphere into outer space by means of a spacecraft

While large amounts of research have gone into technology, it is rarely used, except:

putting satellites into orbit conducting scientific experiments

However, man has landed on the moon

Probes have been sent to all the planets of the Solar System

Unique modes…
