Sustainable Transportation Future

Welcome again to our blog. As for today, we would like to gain your attention on one of the hottest topic for this year, Sustainable Transportation Future.

One of the fundamental tasks that can only be done for a sustainable economy is to fund the science needed to build the technological base. A unique asset can be used to develop a leadership position in sustainability technologies by combine the creativity hard-wired into culture. We need to develop a way to get off of fossil fuels and more efficiently store energy. We also need more effective ways of managing and recycling our waste stream. The work of our scientists and engineers could not be more important. We must fund the basic research and enough of the applied research to demonstrate possible profitability.

By the way for our development, environment surrounding first. The development that have been made must consistent with environmental friendly. Sustainable environments working to overhaul our country’s outdated and crumbling infrastructure with a new approach that will foster healthier, sustainable, and just communities. We believe in the potential of what we call “next generation infrastructure” to improve transit systems, make buildings more energy efficient, better manage our water systems and rebuild regional food systems. Focusing on outside area and their surrounding areas, we seek solutions that connect and improve these infrastructure systems in ways that maximize positive impacts and minimize negative environmental, economic and social consequences.

Cities with overbuilt roadways have experienced unintended consequences, linked to radical drops in public transport, walking, and cycling. In many cases, streets became void of “life.” Stores, schools, government centers and libraries moved away from central cities, and residents who did not flee to the suburbs experienced a much reduced quality of public space and of public services. As schools were closed their mega-school replacements in outlying areas generated additional traffic; the number of cars on US roads between 7:15 and 8:15 am. increases 30% during the school year.

Yet another impact was an increase in sedentary lifestyles, causing and complicating a national epidemic of obesity, and accompanying dramatically increased health care costs.

In practice there is a sliding scale of green transport depending on the sustainability of the option. Green vehicles are more efficiency, but only in comparison with standard vehicles, and they still contribute to traffic congestion and road crashes. Green public transport vehicles including electric trains, trams and electric buses combine the advantages of green vehicles with those of sustainable transport choices. Other transport choices with very low environmental impact are by cycling.The most common green transport choice, with the least environmental impact is by walking.

"Drive less save more"

Have you ever dreamed that one day near the future when car are filling part of world, what will occur to us? The deepest problem for humans is that we cannot predict the future with any accuracy. We refer to methods of minimizing risk and preparing to deal with events beyond our control which can injure or kill us. Recovery from extreme weather events, earthquakes, natural catastrophes, injury and disease will consume an increasingly large chunk of our resources. Its all starting with us, KPM community and also “drive less save more”.

“Drive less save more” raises awareness about the practical, economic and environmental benefits of improving the way in which by managing our transportation system. Reducing individual car trips is one of the main goals, and bicycles are a big part of the solution, while public transit, carpooling and ride-sharing are emphasized as well.

By practicing “drive less save more” its impact our transportation industry by reducing the number of traffic. By using public transport, we can save fuel and also reduce congestion. We also can reduce gasoline consumption and also not forget about carbon footprint. Now all of you will understand how “drive less save more” can affect our transportation industry.

Public transportation provides many mobility, safety, and economic benefits to people and businesses. Beyond those key benefits, it also offers significant environmental advantages that contribute to a better quality of life.

“Public transportation reduces the number of cars in street makes the alleviate traffic congestion wording more redundant and thus helps improve air quality, alleviate traffic congestion, and noise Public transportation also benefits those not using it because it helps reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

Carpooling to save money and reduce congestion on roads and highways. It also gives you the opportunity to cut the budget in terms of transportation costs and its can defined as drive less save more. There are several benefits when two or more people sharing a ride in a vehicle..

Car share to reduce air pollution and traffic congestion, something that benefits us all. Carpooling help to reduce traffic congestion, by filling the additional seats in your car, there are a few drivers, and therefore less car traffic jams.

Want to drive less and help save the earth? There are ways to change transportation selection that can help save money, time and reduce some of the impacts cars have on the environment. 

Transport System

Now lets us move our next post about system or what internet call as transport system.
A transport network, or transportation network, is a network of roads, streets, railways (or railroads), pipes, aqueducts, power lines, or nearly any structure which permits either vehicular movement or flow of some commodity.

Transport network analysis is used to determine the flow of vehicles (or people) through a transport network, typically using mathematical graph theory. It may combine different modes of transport, for example, walking and car, to model multi-modal journeys. Transport network analysis is within the field of transport engineering.

Transport system helps to raise the production of raw materials, fuels and machineries by providing market to it. Transport system expand the size of the market. Due to selling of commodities in an extensive manner in large areas, it leads to large-scale production.  

As a result industry of firm gets the advantages of large-scale. Transport system helps to solve the problem of unemployment in rural areas by sending surplus laborers to the industries and it also solves the needs of industries.

Development of transport system also leads to development of industries because transport system utilizes the product of industries production. Transport system is regarded as important item especially for delivery. Transportation also can make delivery become easy. it is because today there are many modes of transportation included when deliver the product.

Intermodal Transportation

Intermodal transportation is being or involving transportation by more than one form of carrier during a single journey moving a shipment from origin to destination. It is often said international transportation is intermodal transportation because so many goods moving from one country to another involve the use of multiple modes of carriers. Virtually everything moving across an ocean will involve truck or rail carriers for product pickup and delivery and an air or ocean carrier for the inhaul portion of the trip.

The following is a quick example of utilizing more than one modes transportation to ship freight from origin to destination. A truck moves an empty piece of equipment to a shipper to pickup a load , the equipment loaded with freight and then taken by truck to a rail road yard. Loaded equipment is put onto a train and railed to its destination, and the load is taken off the train and deliver by truck to the customer equipment is unloaded and now ready for another load.

Load match is a example company focusses on both domestic and international intermodal transportation of equipment between trucks railroads and ocean lines. Those in the intermodal industry will confirm there are many variables in this process. However, the more profitable it can be when equipment goes but empty, comes back empty or is sitting idle the company can market the avaibility online to improve utilization of time and equipment. 

Intermodal services offers a range of cost effectiveness, streamlined services that provide the flexibility to control and manage your goods and improve your bottom line. Large or small can deserved big time benefit : door to door services- truck like service at a fraction of the cost of traditional tracking methods, ease of business- all of the equipment will utilize and resulting in simplified load process from pick up to delivery, decrease fuel cost or consumption deliver result, state of the art technology, allowing for maximum visibility, security and services and value added like load securement and border crossing produces alleviate the burden of time-consuming.

Role Of Transport

Now, ask this to yourself, have you ever wondered how goods or items are being transport not only to nearby place but also to a place far away from our home. That’s was the primary role of transport, to deliver the goods. What else?

Every business firm, regardless of whether it produces or distributes, requires movement of goods from one place to another and it is involved in the transport. Transportation is a key process in the logistics chain, which is involved in every stage, starting in manufacturing, to final delivery at the required location.

The purpose or function is to serve as a transport connecting link between the organization, firm or producer to consumer (such as between plants and warehouses) and between units of the firm and the firm and individual units (such as suppliers and other customers). Good transportation is that the minimum time and cost involved in spatial relations firm. The transportation system is a physical link connecting companies with customers.

Transportation can be a key competitive strategy for the firm because consumers will choose to transport quickly and save time. Transportation is also a bridge that related between buyers and sellers. Transportation is also a determinant of competitiveness and for the company and the demand for a product in a particular area.

 

Without transportation is impossible for companies to do business in the global economy nowadays because there is a lot of competition and many companies are separated by geography from the source to the consumer. The production is not necessarily the place where the product is manufactured. Transportation is also a bridge between buyers and sellers separated by thousands of miles.

 

Now you understand the role of transport right? Then if you understand lets implied it to your mind.

Comment on fuel rising and how they impact to transportation industry.

Post 1 - Comment on fuel rising and how they impact to transportation industry.

First time meeting right? Well same to us. A question to ask, have you ever cross in mind what is transportation is really was? Now lets us travel deep into the meaning of transportation.

How about we share with you about fuel rising, how they impact to transportation industry. Now, we live in a time where rapid change is pretty much the only certainty, but one thing that continues to rather change although we try not to change its was fuel. Fuel prices are an emotional issue. Even at lower prices many consumer feel they pay more than is fair. You should know there are frequent demands for investigations into fuel price increase, and popular campaigns to promote cheaper fuel .As a result, transportation industry had receive a huge impact to them.

So, what was really the impact of fuel rising? Firstly was fuel rising issues had harm consumers and the transportation industry overall because they increase the total fuel consumption and vehicle travel, and therefore associated costs such as traffic, infrastructure costs, traffic crashes, and pollution emissions. As a consumer we should realize this issues, a negative issues that arise because of this little problem. We all should realize that this negative issues had harm our life and the transportation industry, so why wait anymore, lets change this negative issues before its becoming a threat that will effect all of us. Thinks before its too late.

Also, with the rise in oil prices has resulted a huge impact in a transport company was been forced to make a change to deal with the problem. Lets us take a simple example a company had raise the cost of transportation and had taken the initiative to keep inventory on hand and reduce the amount of shipping to save costs . Also the company had to transport bulk shipments from small and frequent. Less often , shipments for larger bulk Shipments cans be more cost effective then frequent Smaller Shipments and it can cut the cost. The transportation companies had to bear the high cost each time make remote delivery caused oil prices have risen.

Higher transportation costs encourage producers to relocate production facilities closer to suppliers or markets according to the transportation volume such as input materials and the final product shipments. These factors are affecting changes in global trade flows because of the increasing fuel costs. The big increase in the world trade has contributed to decrease the difference in wage rates and returns on capital among nations. As a result, factor price equalization occurs in the world markets today. This makes export producing unprofitable in developing nations. As more products are
