MODES OF TRANSPORTATION
ROADWAYS
ROADWAYS
• Road transportation is the nearest and
favorable mode of transportation.
• The passengers and goods have first to be
transported by road before reaching a railway
station or airport.
• Roadways can only provide door to door
service.
• Roadways have a maximum flexibility for
travel with reference to route, direction, time
and speed of travel.
Varieties of Vehicle
• Wide variety of vehicles are available for
roadways .
i. Truck
ii. Car
iii. Motorcycle
iv. Cycle etc.
Classification of Roads
• Based on type of carriageway:-
i. Paved roads: The roads provided with hard
pavement course like WBM(Water Bound
Macadam) layer is called paved roads.
ii. Unpaved roads: Earth roads and gravel roads
are unpaved roads. They are not hard
pavement course.
Classification of Roads
• Based on type of pavement surfacing :-
i. Surface roads: Which are provided with a
bituminous or cement concrete surfacing.
ii. Unsurface roads: Which are not provided
with black toped bituminous or cement
concrete surfacing.
Classification of Roads
• As per the usability during different seasons:-
i. All weather roads: These type of roads cater
transportation throughout the year with
interruption to traffic due to all weather.
ii. Fair weather raods: The traffic may be
interrupted during monsoon season at
causeways where stream may overflow
across the roads.
Types of Roads
• National Highway:-
NH are main highways
running through the
length and breadth of
the nation, connecting
major ports, capitals of
large states, etc.
Types of Roads
• State Highway:-
SH are roads of a state,
connectiong up with
national highways of
adjacent state, different
cities of the same state.
Types of Roads
• Major District Road:-
MDR are important
roads within district
connecting markets and
important areas with
each other or with main
highways of district.
Types of Roads
• Other District Road:-
ODR are roads
connecting rural areas
of production with
market centers, taluka
head quarter or other
main roads.
Types of Roads
• Village Road:-
VR are roads connecting
villages or group of
villages with each other
or to the nearest road
of higher category.
Water Transportation
• Movement of person and goods through boats
or ships on river,sea,ocean like waterbodies is
a mode of water transportation.
• Two-third of entire earth surface is covered by
water which proves importance of waterways.

 Cheap.
 Minimum chances of traffic accidents and traffic
hazard.
 Requires cheap motor powers than for airplanes.
 Possesses high load carrying capacity.
Advantages of Water
Transportation

 Limited functionality capabilities.
 Slow in speed.
 Difficult to monitor exact location of goods.
 High weather susceptible.
Disadvantages of Water
Transportation
WAY
* Definition:-
-Navigable rivers (once a main highway of
communication).
* There are two types of water ways :-
-Inland waterways.
-Ocean waterways.
Inland Waterways
-Refer to using inland water bodies like rivers, canals,
backwaters, creeks and etc.
Ocean Waterways
-Navigation along the coastal places and foreign
countries take places with the help of ships.About
75% of international trade is carried out by shipping.
Terminal
• Definition:
- Station where transport vehicles load or
unload passengers or goods.
• Terminal for large vessels are the Harbour and
Port.
• Types of Harbour:
1. Natural harbour.
2. Semi natural harbour.
3. Artificial harbour.
• Use Of Port:
- Seek shelter from stormy weather.
- A sheltered port where ships can take on or
discharge cargo.
- loading and unloading vessels.
- In India there are 8 major ports,21
intermediate ports and 144 minor ports.
• Factors in choosing terminal site :
- Customer requirement.
- Operational requirement.
- Community requirement.
- Economic requirement.
Types of Unit of Carriage For Water
Transportation
• Large ships, costly unit of carriage.
• Carry wide variety of product.
• Represent the part of ship building industry.
MODES OF TRANSPORTATION
RAILWAYS
MADE BY : Pankhil shah ( 57 )
Mechanical ( K )
RAILWAYS
• Railways can handle large number of passengers
movement through coaches containing train
movement on rails.
• Railways can transport tonnes of goods for any
distance through closed or open wagons containing
goods train movement on rails.
ADVANTAGES OF RAILWAYS
• Large number of passengers & tonnes of
goods can be transported at a glance & at
economical rate.
• It is comfortable for long distance travel as
compared to roadways.
• It is cheaper than airways.
• For movement of military & their equipments
railway are most convenient & faster mode of
transportation.
DISADVANTAGES OF RAILWAYS
• The trains run as per schedule. Their arrival &
departure time is fix.
• Initial construction cost of railway stations,
platforms, tracks, trains etc. is high.
• Maintenance cost is high.
• Definite vehicles can only run on railways.
• Accident causes high loss.
CATEGORIES OF RAILWAY
• As per importance of routes :
• (1) Trunk routes
• (2) Main lines
• (3) Branch lines
TYPES OF RAILWAYS
• (1) Surface
• (2) Underground
• (3) Elevated
TYPES OF LOCOMOTIVES
• (1) Diesel
• (2) Electric
MAGLEV ( Magnetic Leviation Vehicle )
• This is high speed transit vehicle which is
made to lift & float over the specially
prepared track either by magnetic attraction
or repulsion force.
PERMANENT WAY ( RAILWAY TRACK )
• The combination of rails, fitted on sleepers &
resting on ballast & subgrade is called the
railway track or permanent way.
• The definite distance between two parallel rail
sections is known as gauge. Figure shows
typical cross-section of a railway track on
embankment showing all the components of
permanent way.
Cross- section of Railway
TYPES OF GAUGE
• (1) Broad Gauge : 1.676 m
• (2) Metre Gauge : 1.0 m
• (3) Narrow Gauge : 0.762 m
• Gauges to be used in a particular country
should be uniform throughout as far as
possible. India has started to convert all the
gauges of railway as uniform gauge. Uniform
gauge provision can avoid delay, cost, loss &
hardship in transhipment.
CROSS SECTION OF RAILWAY
• (1) In embankment
• (2) In cutting
TYPES OF RAIL SECTION
• (1) DOUBLE HEADED RAIL
• This type of rail consists of 3 parts – upper
table, web & lower table.
• Both the upper & lower tables are identical.
• They were introduced with the hope of
doubling the life of rails.
• When the upper table was worn out, the rails
can be reversed in the chair & thus, the lower
table can be brought into use.
• (2) BULL HEADED RAIL
• This rail consist of head, web & foot & are
made of steel.
• The head is larger than the foot & the foot is
designed only to properly hold the wooden
keys with which the rails are secured to chairs.
• (3) FLAT-FOOTED RAIL
• The flat footed rails are found to be cheaper than
the bull headed rails.
• Load-distribution : The flat footed rail distributes
the train load over a great number of sleepers. This
results in track stability.
• Longer life than bull headed rails.
Flat-footed rail
High carbon steel is used for ordinary rails & medium
carbon steel is used for rails on points & crossing.
TYPE OF GAUGE
• Broad gauge
• Metre gauge
LENGTH OF RAIL
• 42 ft, 12.80 m = 13 m
• 39 ft, 11.80 m = 12 m
TYPES OF SLEEPER
• (1) Wooden
• (2) Metal
(i) Cast iron
(ii) Steel
• (3) Concrete
(i) Reinforced concrete
(ii) Presressed concrete
NUMBERS & SPACING OF SLEEPERS
• Spacing of sleepers depends on the axle load
which the track is expected to carry & lateral trust
of locomotives to which it is subjected.
• The number of sleepers per rail varies from n+3
to n+6 for main tracks.
where, n = length of rail in metres.
• The spacing between sleepers is not uniform. 3 or
4 sleepers on either side of joints are kept close
together. If joints on curves are staggered, an
additional sleeper is provided for each joints
BALLAST
• Ballast is the granular material usually broken
stones & packed below & around sleepers to
transmit loads from the wheels of train to
sleepers & to formation & at the same time
allowing drainage of the track.

Modes of transportation

  • 1. GANDHINAGAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SUBJECT : Elements of Civil Engineering ( 2110004 ) CLASS : Mechanical ( K ) TOPIC : Modes Of Transportation - Roadways - Waterways -Railways - Airways MADE BY : (1) Vivek Patel (27) (2) Pankhil Shah (57) (3) Jaydev Patel (07) (4) Preet Shah (58)
  • 3. ROADWAYS • Road transportation is the nearest and favorable mode of transportation. • The passengers and goods have first to be transported by road before reaching a railway station or airport. • Roadways can only provide door to door service. • Roadways have a maximum flexibility for travel with reference to route, direction, time and speed of travel.
  • 4. Varieties of Vehicle • Wide variety of vehicles are available for roadways . i. Truck ii. Car iii. Motorcycle iv. Cycle etc.
  • 5. Classification of Roads • Based on type of carriageway:- i. Paved roads: The roads provided with hard pavement course like WBM(Water Bound Macadam) layer is called paved roads. ii. Unpaved roads: Earth roads and gravel roads are unpaved roads. They are not hard pavement course.
  • 6. Classification of Roads • Based on type of pavement surfacing :- i. Surface roads: Which are provided with a bituminous or cement concrete surfacing. ii. Unsurface roads: Which are not provided with black toped bituminous or cement concrete surfacing.
  • 7. Classification of Roads • As per the usability during different seasons:- i. All weather roads: These type of roads cater transportation throughout the year with interruption to traffic due to all weather. ii. Fair weather raods: The traffic may be interrupted during monsoon season at causeways where stream may overflow across the roads.
  • 8. Types of Roads • National Highway:- NH are main highways running through the length and breadth of the nation, connecting major ports, capitals of large states, etc.
  • 9. Types of Roads • State Highway:- SH are roads of a state, connectiong up with national highways of adjacent state, different cities of the same state.
  • 10. Types of Roads • Major District Road:- MDR are important roads within district connecting markets and important areas with each other or with main highways of district.
  • 11. Types of Roads • Other District Road:- ODR are roads connecting rural areas of production with market centers, taluka head quarter or other main roads.
  • 12. Types of Roads • Village Road:- VR are roads connecting villages or group of villages with each other or to the nearest road of higher category.
  • 13. Water Transportation • Movement of person and goods through boats or ships on river,sea,ocean like waterbodies is a mode of water transportation. • Two-third of entire earth surface is covered by water which proves importance of waterways.
  • 14.   Cheap.  Minimum chances of traffic accidents and traffic hazard.  Requires cheap motor powers than for airplanes.  Possesses high load carrying capacity. Advantages of Water Transportation
  • 15.   Limited functionality capabilities.  Slow in speed.  Difficult to monitor exact location of goods.  High weather susceptible. Disadvantages of Water Transportation
  • 16. WAY * Definition:- -Navigable rivers (once a main highway of communication). * There are two types of water ways :- -Inland waterways. -Ocean waterways.
  • 17. Inland Waterways -Refer to using inland water bodies like rivers, canals, backwaters, creeks and etc. Ocean Waterways -Navigation along the coastal places and foreign countries take places with the help of ships.About 75% of international trade is carried out by shipping.
  • 18. Terminal • Definition: - Station where transport vehicles load or unload passengers or goods. • Terminal for large vessels are the Harbour and Port. • Types of Harbour: 1. Natural harbour. 2. Semi natural harbour. 3. Artificial harbour.
  • 19. • Use Of Port: - Seek shelter from stormy weather. - A sheltered port where ships can take on or discharge cargo. - loading and unloading vessels. - In India there are 8 major ports,21 intermediate ports and 144 minor ports.
  • 20. • Factors in choosing terminal site : - Customer requirement. - Operational requirement. - Community requirement. - Economic requirement.
  • 21. Types of Unit of Carriage For Water Transportation • Large ships, costly unit of carriage. • Carry wide variety of product. • Represent the part of ship building industry.
  • 22.
  • 23. MODES OF TRANSPORTATION RAILWAYS MADE BY : Pankhil shah ( 57 ) Mechanical ( K )
  • 24. RAILWAYS • Railways can handle large number of passengers movement through coaches containing train movement on rails. • Railways can transport tonnes of goods for any distance through closed or open wagons containing goods train movement on rails.
  • 25. ADVANTAGES OF RAILWAYS • Large number of passengers & tonnes of goods can be transported at a glance & at economical rate. • It is comfortable for long distance travel as compared to roadways. • It is cheaper than airways. • For movement of military & their equipments railway are most convenient & faster mode of transportation.
  • 26. DISADVANTAGES OF RAILWAYS • The trains run as per schedule. Their arrival & departure time is fix. • Initial construction cost of railway stations, platforms, tracks, trains etc. is high. • Maintenance cost is high. • Definite vehicles can only run on railways. • Accident causes high loss.
  • 27. CATEGORIES OF RAILWAY • As per importance of routes : • (1) Trunk routes • (2) Main lines • (3) Branch lines
  • 28. TYPES OF RAILWAYS • (1) Surface
  • 33. MAGLEV ( Magnetic Leviation Vehicle ) • This is high speed transit vehicle which is made to lift & float over the specially prepared track either by magnetic attraction or repulsion force.
  • 34. PERMANENT WAY ( RAILWAY TRACK ) • The combination of rails, fitted on sleepers & resting on ballast & subgrade is called the railway track or permanent way. • The definite distance between two parallel rail sections is known as gauge. Figure shows typical cross-section of a railway track on embankment showing all the components of permanent way.
  • 35. Cross- section of Railway
  • 36. TYPES OF GAUGE • (1) Broad Gauge : 1.676 m
  • 37. • (2) Metre Gauge : 1.0 m
  • 38. • (3) Narrow Gauge : 0.762 m
  • 39. • Gauges to be used in a particular country should be uniform throughout as far as possible. India has started to convert all the gauges of railway as uniform gauge. Uniform gauge provision can avoid delay, cost, loss & hardship in transhipment.
  • 40. CROSS SECTION OF RAILWAY • (1) In embankment • (2) In cutting
  • 41. TYPES OF RAIL SECTION • (1) DOUBLE HEADED RAIL • This type of rail consists of 3 parts – upper table, web & lower table. • Both the upper & lower tables are identical. • They were introduced with the hope of doubling the life of rails. • When the upper table was worn out, the rails can be reversed in the chair & thus, the lower table can be brought into use.
  • 42. • (2) BULL HEADED RAIL • This rail consist of head, web & foot & are made of steel. • The head is larger than the foot & the foot is designed only to properly hold the wooden keys with which the rails are secured to chairs.
  • 43. • (3) FLAT-FOOTED RAIL • The flat footed rails are found to be cheaper than the bull headed rails. • Load-distribution : The flat footed rail distributes the train load over a great number of sleepers. This results in track stability. • Longer life than bull headed rails.
  • 44. Flat-footed rail High carbon steel is used for ordinary rails & medium carbon steel is used for rails on points & crossing.
  • 45. TYPE OF GAUGE • Broad gauge • Metre gauge LENGTH OF RAIL • 42 ft, 12.80 m = 13 m • 39 ft, 11.80 m = 12 m
  • 46. TYPES OF SLEEPER • (1) Wooden • (2) Metal (i) Cast iron (ii) Steel • (3) Concrete (i) Reinforced concrete (ii) Presressed concrete
  • 47. NUMBERS & SPACING OF SLEEPERS • Spacing of sleepers depends on the axle load which the track is expected to carry & lateral trust of locomotives to which it is subjected. • The number of sleepers per rail varies from n+3 to n+6 for main tracks. where, n = length of rail in metres. • The spacing between sleepers is not uniform. 3 or 4 sleepers on either side of joints are kept close together. If joints on curves are staggered, an additional sleeper is provided for each joints
  • 48. BALLAST • Ballast is the granular material usually broken stones & packed below & around sleepers to transmit loads from the wheels of train to sleepers & to formation & at the same time allowing drainage of the track.
