Modes of transportation

  • Dear students,

    As you already know, transportation is the act of bringing produce from a growing region to marketing and consumption areas.

    The modes of transportation vary:

    Roadways Transportation

    A road is an identifiable route way or path between two or more places. This mode of transport helps to transfer the goods from one place to another place by road through various methods like auto, buses, trucks, cargos, and other suitable factors. In road transport, the chances of an accident are very high and it is also very risky.

    Water Transportation:

    It involves the movement of goods through oceans and seas. It can be categorized into three several  categories:
     Aqueducts, which includes tunnels and canals.
     Containers like tank car, tank ship, and tank truck.
     Towing, it is very useful to pull a large water bag or an iceberg.
    In water transport, the weights of goods are very large in comparison to other means of transports. It plays a very crucial role in the development of exports and imports of goods in the different parts of the world.

    Air Transportation

    The distinct advantage of air transport is speed and suitability. It is very useful for less working goods with a high value of the price. Air transport is also known as aviation.
    The important characteristic of air transport is that does not need a particular surface track for its working operations. It is the fastest means of transportation. But the cost of operations is very high according to other modes.

    Railways Transportation

    It is a means of transport in which the goods are transferred from one place to another place and as well as transfers the passenger from one place to another destination. It is preferred due to high speed. Invariance to road transport, where vehicles run on a flat road or surface, rail vehicles are directionally managed by the rail tracks on which they run. Rail transport helps to provide administrative facilities to the government. The public servants and defense forces run their mobility from the railways.

    Pipelines Transportation

    Pipelines transportation is used for sending the liquids and gases from one place to another place. Through this means of transport, we can also send chemicals, biofuels, and natural gases.

    Water Transportation:

    It involves the movement of goods through oceans and seas. There are
    more than 365 ports in India with Vishakapatnam contributing to maximum portion traffic. It can be categorized into three several
    categories:

    steamboat
    a ferry is a watercraft that is mostly used for passenger transportation over short distances. ferries that carry cars and wagons as well as passengers are called car ferries or ferriers
    aeroplane
    airplanes use the laws of aerodynamics to fly they can fly thanks to the pressure change caused by the speed difference of the air flowing between the lower and upper surfaces of their wings and they can change direction by maneuvering with the help of their tail and wings the responsibility for the balance of the aircraft is given to pilots who have received special training a co pilot and autopilot assist the pilot throughout the entire journey

    Disadvantages of air transportation / Franzi Austria

    Disadvantages of cargo air transport
    High cost. It is significantly more expensive than other means of transport.
    Weather. Conditioned by the weather which can cause delays.
    Law. Legal restrictions that must be taken into account depending on the different countries of destination of the merchandise.
    Independence. Air transport must be complemented by land, train or truck. So, it does not count by itself as the only means of transport in commercial operations.
    Limited load. Although the charge is wide it is not infinite.
    Cargo. It does not allow to send all kinds of merchandise. Lithium batteries, liquid products such as fuels or oils, or hazardous materials, such as explosives, gases and other toxic substances, can not be transported.
    Documentation. It is not exempt from paperwork. Declarations, certificates of origin etc., must be completed by the different agents that operate along the entire transport chain.

    Roadways Transportation

    Road traffic is traffic that takes place on the roads. Road traffic participants can move on foot, riding animals and using various vehicles. Road traffic is regulated by traffic regulations that must be observed by all traffic participants. The basic rules of road traffic were adopted in 1968. At the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. Not all states have adopted this convention, and there are deviations among its signatories.

    The law. Legal restrictions that must be taken into account depending on the different countries of destination of the goods.
    Independence. Air transport must be supplemented by land, train or truck. Therefore, it is not considered the only means of transport in commercial business.
    Limited load. Although the charge is wide, it is not infinite.

    The distinct advantage of air transport is speed and suitability. It is very
    useful for less working goods with a high valute. Industries in the Air Transportation subsector provide air transportation using aircraft, such as airplanes and helicopters.

    Air cargo transport
    Air cargo transport is the transfer of any type of product from one point to another in the world by air. The aircraft used in these cases have a wider fuselage than the passengers which increases their capacity. In addition, they have a greater number of wheels, a greater stability during the landing as well as an ability to land on less prepared tracks, and have several large doors for a comfortable and efficient entry and exit of goods.

    Water transport
    Water transport of goods means the transport of goods to another continent by sea. For the purpose of water transport of goods,large cargo ships are used,wherw containers with goods loaded in ports.The container for water transport of goods can be rented in a ceratin percentage or in its entirety.It depends on the amount of goods you have for transport.Maritime transport of goods is also an environmentally friendly option,so it is not suprising that a large number of companies are happy to choose ship instead of other means of transport.

    Transport includes transport by road, rail, water and air. Road transport incorporates a comprehensive network of major and minor roads. Rail transport is fairly developed, although dual track and electrification are not very common. Water transport revolves around river transport while air transport around country's two main international airports.

    Truck transport and logistics represent much more than simply moving goods from point A to point B. Efficiency involves a very complex process of communication and planning.

    In accordance with the needs of clients, we can organize road transport of goods as direct transport, or in order to reduce costs and save time for our clients, such as combined transport (in combination with rail, air or water transport) or as aggregate transport.Road transport of goods is one of the most popular forms of transport of goods. Road transport of goods is most commonly used for shorter destinations.

    Maria k. Greece

    Combined transports
    The combined method reduces the overall handling of the load. As a result, it generally improves safety, reduces damage and loss, and allows goods to be transported faster. Reduced cost for road trucks is the main benefit for intercontinental use. This can be offset by reduced travel times for shorter distances.1. Reduced cost.2. More "green" metaphor.3. Security

    Here are a few more advantages of employing trucks as the primary mode of transportation for our food and vegetables:
    1.More rapid delivery and pickup.
    2. A wider range of possible destinations for the produce.
    3.Less shipping spoilage.
    4.Deliveries of cleaner and safer food to consumers.

    Regardless of the type of food, food transportation safety is extremely important, and there are four key aspects that influence it: distance, temperature control, cross-contamination, and training.
    Proper temperature control helps lessen the problem of lengthy distances.Because it has a major impact on all of the other criteria, training is the factor that has the biggest impact on food transportation safety. Food transporters must be aware of and capable of adhering to laws that help avoid cross-contamination.
