Mode of Transportation
1. Road transportation
• Road infrastructures are large consumers of
space with the lowest level of physical
constraints among transportation modes.
• average operational flexibility as vehicles
can serve several purposes but are rarely
able to move outside roads.
2. Rail transportation
• composed of a traced path on which
wheeled vehicles are bound. In light of
more recent technological
developments, rail transportation also
include monorails and maglev.
• average level of physical constrains
linked to the types of locomotives and a
low gradient is required, particularly for
26
freight.

Mode of Transportation
3. Maritime transportation
• most effective mode to move large quantities of cargo
over long distances. Main maritime routes are
composed of oceans, coasts, seas, lakes, rivers and
channels.
• has high terminal costs, since port infrastructures are
among the most expensive to build, maintain and
improve. High inventory costs also characterize maritime
transportation.
4. Air transportation
• Air transport constraints are multidimensional and
include the site (a commercial plane needs about
3,300 meters of runway for landing and take off), the
climate, fog and aerial currents.
• recently, air transportation has been accommodating
growing quantities of high value freight and is playing
a growing role in global logistics. 27

Mode of Transportation
5. Intermodal transportation
• Concerns a variety of modes used in
combination so that the respective advantages
of each mode are better exploited.
• Containerization has been a powerful vector of
intermodal integration, enabling maritime and
land transportation modes to more effectively
interconnect.
6. Telecommunications.
• They provide for the "instantaneous" movement of
information (speed of light). Wave transmissions, because of
their limited coverage, often require substations, such as for
cellular phone networks.
• High network costs and low distribution costs characterize
many telecommunication networks, which are linked to the
tertiary and quaternary sectors (stock markets, business to
business information networks, etc.).

systems to provide for safe and efficient movement of people,

D. Plan Formulation
Alternative land use and transportation plans are formulated to meet urban
growth & future travel demand consistent with the goals and objectives
E. Plan Testing
The performance of each alternative plan is determined using a
transportation planning model. Its output is used in the plan evaluation stage.
F. Plan Evaluation
• To provide the basis for adjusting a plan or review of goals and
objectives
• To provide the needed information for the selection of preferred
plan
