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…
