Roadways Harbours Tunnels Bridges Docks Airports Railways
Role Of Transportation in National Development Easy and quick transportation of men, goods, animals , material , etc. Area, which are connected by proper means of transport, can develop fast. During the days of emergency it plays a vital role for quick and easy transportation .
Modes of Transportation Roads Railways Waterways Airways
Road Transport or Road Ways • National Highways • State Highways • District Road • Village Road
Classification of roads based on Material • Earthen Roads • Water bound macadam roads • Bituminous roads or tar roads • Cement Concrete Road
What transportation sub-systems are present in this picture.
Types Of Pavement • Flexible Pavement: The earthen, gravel, water bound macadam and Bituminous roads are also known as flexible pavements because the top surface takes the shape of the sub-surface soil. • Rigid Pavement: The Cement Concrete roads are known as rigid Pavements because of their stiffness and their capacity to bridge over loose soil pockets in the sub-grade.
Merits of Road • It is Economical structure. • It is very convenient for passenger and small goods Transport. • Destination and starting points are not necessarily defined. • Small vehicles can be driven on roads for personalized transport.
Demerits of Road • Tractive resistance of wheels of vehicles to the road Is more, hence there is early wear to the road pavement. • Overall maintenance of road is more. • There is a speed limit or speed is restricted. • It is suitable for small distance only.
