3. What Is Transportation
Engineering?
• Transportation engineering is the application
of the principles of engineering, planning,
analysis, and design to the disciplines
comprising transportation: its vehicles, its
physical infrastructure, safety in travel,
environmental impacts, and energy usage.
• Science of safe and efficient movement of
people and goods.

4. Role of Transportation in National
Development
 Economic growth
 Place utility of goods
 Time utility of goods
 Preservation of quality of goods
 Mass production
 Exploitation of natural resources
 Urbanization
 Industrial development
 Agricultural development
 Costs of goods
 Defense and strategic needs
 Transport facilities and social activities

5. Core Components of Transportation
System
 Form of Vehicles
 Infrastructure – Physical support of transport modes where
routes and terminals are the most significant components.
 Networks – Systems linked locations that are used to represent
the functional and spatial organization of transportation, this
system indicates which locations are connected and how they
are serviced.
 Flows – the movement of people, freight and information over
their respective networks.

14. ROADWAYS (Highway
Engineering)
 Highway Engineering
• Handles the planning, design,
construction and operation of
highways, roads and other
vehicular facilities as well as, their
related bicycle and pedestrian’s
realm.
•It estimates the transportation
needs of the public and secures
the findings for the project and
analyzes locations of high traffic
volumes and high collisions for
safety and capacity.

15. ROADWAYS (Highway
Engineering)
 CLASSIFICATION OF
ROADS
• NATIONAL HIGHWAY (NH)
• MAJOR DISTRICT
ROAD/Provincial Road (MDR)
• OTHER DISTRICT
ROAD/Municipal road (ODR)
• VILLAGE ROAD (VR)
 BASED ON CARRIAGE WAY

DOOR SERVICE
 LESS COMFORT AND
SAFE
 IT SAVES TIME FOR
SHORT DISTANCE
 UNECONOMICAL FOR
LONG DISTANCE
 CONSTRUCTION AND
MAINTAINANCE COST IS
LOW
 NUMBER OF ROAD
ACCIDENT IS HIGH

21. RAILWAYS (Rail engineering)
 Rail Engineering
- Handle the design,
construction, and
operation of railroads
and mass transit
systems that uses a
fixed guide way (light
rail/monorail).
- Ability to transport
large volumes with
high energetic
efficiency.

22. RAILWAYS
 CATAGORIES OF RAILWAY
1. TRUCK ROUTES
2. MAIN LINE
3. BRANCH LINE
 TYPES OF RAILWAY
1. SURFACE
2. UNDERGROUND
3. ELEVATED
