Mode of Transport
• A mode of transport is a solution that makes use of a particular type of vehicle, infrastructure and operation.

• Mode of transport can either by animalpowered, human-powered, road, rail, air, water and other.
Mode of Transport
1. Road systems
2. Railway systems
3. Water-shipping systems

Road Systems
• Advantages
– Flexible, easy to realize door-to-door transportation
– Convenient and simple loading/unloading
– Construction fee is relatively cheaper, compared with railway and air transport systems
• Disadvantages
– Energy consumption, oil price and its limited storage
– Social effects of roadway transportation, air pollution and noise pollution resulted from large vehicles
– Serious road congestion by urbanization.
