Introduction
Modes of transport, means of transport, transport mode, transport
modality or forms of transport are the term used to distinguish substantially
different ways to perform transport

All modes are suitable for transporting goods, and most are suitable for
transporting people.
The modes of transport describes the way goods are transported.



Air transport
is the movement of passengers and freight by any conveyance that can sustain controlled flight. Urgent, perishable goods or high value are
transported by air.

Advantages

Disadvantages

Speed of delivery

costly transport
Weight limits


Some examples of Air transport

Aircraft (Airplane)

Auto gyro

Blimp (Airship)

Helicopter
Parachute

Balloon

(downward air transport only


Water transport
refers to movement of goods and passengers on waterways by using various means like boats, steamers, launches, ships, etc. With
the help of these means goods and passengers are carried to different places, both within as well as outside the country. It is used for big
volumes for international traffic


Water transport

Inland water transport

Ocean transport

Inland water transport use boats, launches, barges, streamers, etc., to carry

Ocean transport refers to movement of goods and passengers with the

goods and passengers on river and canal routes. These routes are called

help of ships through sea or ocean waterways. It plays an important

role in the development of international trade.

goods.

Water transport
Advantages

Disadvantages

- For heavy and bulky goods

- Difficulty in monitoring exact location

- For products with long lead times

- Limited to appropriate ports

- Cheaper traffic means

- Transfers to ships take time



Surface transport

Rail transport

For heavy and large loads over long land
journeys

Road transport

Pipelines transport

The most common mode of transport and it is

The main uses of pipelines are oil and gas

used at least somewhere in almost all supply

together with the utilities of water and sewage.

chains.


Rail transport

is a means of transferring passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are located on tracks

Advantages

Disadvantages

Lowest overall cost per unit weight .

Routes between fixed terminals

Railway is the safest form of transport .

They cannot stop at intermediary points

Can be most effective when linked into multimodal system

Rail transport cannot provide door to door service

Advantages
• Main benefit:

Road

- flexibility
- Travel speed .

transport
“ is a type of transport by using roads. Transport on roads
can be roughly grouped into the transportation of goods and

- Use extensive road networks
- Large number of carriers working in the same areas .
- Easy to monitor location of goods

transportation of people. In many countries licensing
requirements and safety regulations ensure a separation of
the two industries.”

Disadvantages
- For shorter distances
- Vulnerable to congestion and traffic delays
- Dependence on fuel price


6 types of trucks used in logistic worldwide

STRAIGHT TRUCKS
JAMBO TRAILER TRUCKS
SEMI TRAILER TRUCKS

TAIL LIFT TRUCKS
REFRIGERATED TRUCKS
FLATBED TRUCKS



Pipelines transport
In modern times, pipelines are used for various purposes. Water supply to residential and commercial areas is carried on with the help of
pipeline. Petroleum and natural gas are also transported from one place to another through pipelines.

Advantages
- Moving large quantities over long distances.
- Cheapest way of moving liquids Local networks can add flexibility

Disadvantages
- Being slow
- Inflexible
- Only carrying large volumes of certain types of fluid


Intermodal transport
Intermodal transportation is the use of two or more modes, or carriers, to transport goods (freight) from shipper to consignee. Special standardized containers
are used for intermodal transport of cargo on trucks, freight trains, and ships.

 - less noise pollution

- more reliable delivery time notifications
- elimination of traffic and customs processes on the highway

- leaner planning processes fixed departure schedules
- higher quality service standards

Lack of Reliability:
as the chain of different modes grows, the possibility of any link in the chain breaking down also increases

High Infrastructure Costs:
Intermodal freight transportation also suffers from comparatively high infrastructure costs


Choice of modes

Choice of mode depends on a variety of factors. The main ones are the nature of materials to move, the volume and distance.
