  1. Transportation Systems

  2. What is Transportation? • The process by which passengers or goods are moved or delivered from on place to another.

  3. Transportation Systems • Four basic types: • Land • Air • Water • Space

  4. Land • Systems that move goods and people from one place to another on earth.

  5. Air • The use of airplanes, helicopters, and dirigibles to lift passengers and/or cargo into the air in order to move from place to place.

  6. Water • The use of water to support the vessel in the transport of people or goods.

  7. Space • Systems that move people and goods outside the earth’s atmosphere.

  8. 6 Transportation Subsystems • Propulsion • Suspension • Control • Guidance • Structural • Support

  9. Subsystem Propulsion Suspension Control Guidance Structural Support Examples Engine & Transmission Springs, Wings, etc. Steering, Brakes, etc. Maps, GPS, Signs, etc. Chassis, Body, Fuselage Garage, Gas Station, etc. 6 Transportation Subsystems

  10. 6 Transportation Subsystems • Propulsion: • Transportation systems must have a force to propel it from a starting point to its destination. • Suspension: • Vehicular weight is supported by the suspension systems. It supports the weight of a vehicle as it moves down a pathway.

  11. 6 Transportation Subsystems • Control systems: • Control speed and direction of a vehicle’s path. The moving of people or cargo from one location to another requires control. • Guidance systems: • Provide information concerning the control of the vehicle. • Guidance systems can be simple or quite complex.

  12. 6 Transportation Subsystems • Structural systems: • Structural systems accommodate a vehicle’s cargo and form the basic framework of the vehicle. • Support systems: • Used to maintain vehicles and other transportation technologies.

  13. What transportation sub-systems are present in this picture.
