Role Of Transportation Engineering And Development Of India

The Economists (2015) state that since 1994, the number of train journeys have doubled every year. This shows how the demand for rail tickets is rising, therefore in order to tackle this, producers need to be able to provide a service that best suits the consumers’ needs. A profit incentive has also become one of the outcomes from privatisation for firms. In order for them to achieve sufficient profit they must cut down in costs and this will lead them to being efficient. With other competitors in the market, they need to make sure they are efficient enough to survive on the market. They also need to have an effective price strategy in order for consumers to buy their tickets and not others. However to help the railway industry, the government have decided to give a subsidy to railway operators in order to help with the operation costs, keeping price levels low. This is seen as a huge benefit to the consumer as people who are on low income and can’t afford cars can now be able to use this transport. There is also an achievement of allocative efficiency as the railway firms are aiming towards being at a social optimum level for consumers. All these points argue for the fact that the privatisation of railways was able to increase the consumer surplus in the market. Consumers should be able to achieve better needs and wants for their individual satisfaction as producers are

California is the highest populated state in the USA spanning to be third-largest in area. It has 160,000 square miles of area and more than 50,000 miles of roads and conventional rail networks in addition to over 100 airports. This shows that the state is undoubtedly very well developed. However, the available current transportation systems are not able to satisfy the demands of the current population and the forecasted future demographics. The congestion in the transportation system is causing huge burden to the Californians and the government in terms of time and money.

By providing 39 Km of motorway, Eastlink allows citizens to travel along the eastern region and save time by bypassing 45 traffic lights. It also carries a great amount of traffic; therefore, it creates more jobs and economical boost. Eastlink created approximately 15 billion boost to the economy and 1400 employment opportunities were generated during its construction and operation.[ Greeman, A.G,Eastlink: motorway Masterpiece]

At present the trucking industry functions on public roads and the railways function as privately owned. Each mode needs to be addressed equally to make improvements. If the government implements or funds a change to a road network it should be done to either add a benefit to the rail system. As innovations are ready to be utilized there may be a need for government assistance in implementation due to the scale of which the transportation modes operate. The nation’s railway is the largest in the world due to the amount of land mass it crosses and size of the country. A balance needs to be achieved between the companies that own the transportation companies and the nations end goal that is beneficial to both the public and private sector. The many different trucking and railway companies needs legislature to be in effect on a federal level so each company falls within the guidelines across the country. The private and public sectors need to synchronized their future goals and develop timelines together to reach their end

Infrastructure is another important factor in the development of a country. However, this system is a total nightmare and all neglected by the government. It takes an eternity to drive 150 miles south of the countryside about 12 hours. For instance, Jeremy, a city situated in south of the capital, is rich with goods; plantains, carrots, and mangoes etc. The transportation system does not allow people to easily move those goods for sale in the capital. In order to solve this problem, there should be a well establish agency to help maintain an efficient transportation

Similar to that of Western Europe, the government significantly strengthens and supported public transportation providing transit agencies with more capital and operating assistance. Some examples that transportation may want to look into is wider spacing between bus stops to increase operating speeds, transit priority in mixed traffic such as bus lanes, special taxi service, high automobile taxes, and high motor fuel taxes. Wider spacing between bus stops would be beneficial for operators because it would increase operating speeds. Two or three buses could be using arriving and departing without any delays. Transit managers should work with the city to provide dedicated bus lanes on the road so people would think that public transportation is faster and more reliable than cars. They should also add a special taxi service in some areas to ensure that riders do not have to travel extra to get to their destinations. In addition increasing automobile taxes and motor fuel will likely get people out of their cars and onto public

The transportation industry is crucial to society’s operation and influences the lives of nearly every one of us. We use it to get to work, to school, to the store, and to complete countless other tasks.

According to the business case, from the objectives and the costs and the benefits of the project, it can be seen that the costs and benefits count from the local and state perspective. The travel time impacts, for example, will significantly influence to the people who live along the corridor and others who pass the road along the corridor. The project also count from the point of view of the ACT government as the project is part of the ACT government commitment to improve the ACT public transport system, and from businesses perspective as it will provide economic benefits. From the global standing, environmental benefits such as lower pollution and greenhouse effects also taken into account. Therefore, the business case presents a clear whose costs and benefits taken into account.

New York City’s subway system is among the busiest urban transit systems in the world. “Domestic transportation is a key factor for economic growth. Transportation issues and infrastructural delays affect a nation 's progress and India needs much faster and efficient transportation systems.” Amitabh Kant, CEO, Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC).

The development of every nation hinges on the effectiveness of their transportation systems. Movement of goods, services and people to and from work is made possible by transportation systems. The importance of effective transportation systems cannot be over-emphasized. A lot of countries are facing Transportation problems and my country Ghana is no exception. A trip of about 30 minutes can take about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has been a topical issue in the country. The situation is the same in Uganda where I currently work. To this end, Transportation Engineers are needed to design roads/ highways that will stand the test of time, plan effective traffic management systems to reduce travel

The study is an attempt to view Public Private Partnership model from a new dimension of “Privatization”. The features of Public Private Partnership differ from project to project. However, the basic concept of Public Private Partnership signifies private involvement in providing public services which is the fundamental principle of “Privatization” as well. The difference between the two lies in the degree of private involvement in the project. Therefore the usage of the two terms can be viewed as a language game. The paper tries to bring out the similarities and differences between the two terms by concentrating on the Mangalore city Corporation case of Privatization of water and PPP in installation and maintenance of street lights.

Lalit: Priyanka, I think more than about the growth of the railway sector its more about the redevelopment of the existing infrastructure of Indian

New transport infrastructure creates value and there are many stakeholders who benefit from well places and designed transport infrastructure. To seek a portion of this newly created value, you firstly need to identify and beneficiaries.

The objective of this paper is to understand the modes of road transportation, the role of road transportation in urban areas, the role of transportation infrastructure in
