Transportation is like steroids! Steroids can help your muscle to develop faster but it can seriously damage your health. Likewise, transportation can help human civilization to grow but at the same time, it can cause great damage to our natural environment. Although different forms of transportation have made lives easier by letting people travel from place to place in ease, it also has detrimental effects on the local environment. For instance, it can cause major pollution on all water, land and

On October 21, I visited the Historic Brownsville Museum on 641 E. Madison Street. Admission costs $4 for adults, $3 for children and seniors, and $2 for college students with ID proof. The museum was a complex rather than one building. The complex was surrounded by a black metal fence. The main building itself maintained its original style. In the late 1920s, the area was build as the Southern Pacific Depot freight line. It ran from Brownsville to Edinburg until 1952. Then, the loading/unloading

hazards and vulnerabilities. For example, the Movement of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) represents a potential environmental or chemical hazard if an accident were to occur. The 2013 Lac-Mégantic rail disaster exemplify this hazard. Although the train rolled down a very slight (~1-2%) incline, the devastation that followed was more representative of a bomb being dropped on the town rather than a rail accident. This is, of course, an extreme instance, however, even the lesser hazards, for example

takes them? With unique transportation comes many irreversible risks many are not willing to take. Currently, a man by the name of Elon Musk has started pushing for the transportation of the future, the Hyperloop. The Hyperloop resembles a futuristic train and Musk claims that it could reach speeds of 800 miles per hour, meaning a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles would be cut down to thirty minutes. At first, this news seems incredible. People could visit loved ones more often, plan fun day trips

Emma Henderson yawned and rubbed her eyes as she stepped off the plane at Leonardo Da Vinci airport in Rome. Her vision was still a little fuzzy from leaving her contacts in during the flight. She hoisted her backpack onto her shoulder, and let out a sigh of relief as she walked down the airbridge that lead to the airport. There was nothing she hated more than airplanes, and she hadn’t been able to sleep at all during the eight hour flight from the U.S. Every time she began to drift off, the little

one form of transportation is more efficient than another, in order for a group of colleagues to attend a business meeting. The intent of the assignment was to assess the value of using a business aircraft (verses commercial aircraft, personal car, train, etc.). The researcher compared and contrasted two trip locations, with multiple variables of attendees, modes of travel, and expenses associated with each variable. Parameters of the Research The researcher used the majority of the parameters provided

1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this assignment is to study the characteristics affecting the choice of road carriers based on discrete choice. Different road carriers have different economic characteristics and are consistent with its competition, shippers and carriers have different preferences when deciding on the choice of road carrier. Currently, a surplus and scarcity of different transport infrastructures can be seen in South Africa and various other developed and developing countries. Large

Supply Chain management and logistics are an extremely important functions of an organization. In this research paper, we will be discussing an aspect of supply chain and logistics that I am interested in, how both are related and different, key activities in supply chain and logistics, and the ethics and social responsibility in both supply chain and logistics management. Logistics is a vital component of supply chain management. Both involve the planning, carrying out and management of goods

Globally, cities are facing problems of the population is living over a greater distance and travelling further and more often (). Oil consumption is increasing but the supply is not increasing. Local governments are facing the issue of how do they plan a city that can accommodate these changes? Four studies reviewed cities and how the transportation is effecting the city. The case study cities were Christchurch, New Zealand and Minneapolis, United States of America. This cities are similar because

for transporting both goods and people. They brought raw materials to city factories, which were then converted to consumer goods and redistributed by the trains. The expansion of tracks encouraged settlers to migrate, and build more cities and factories out west. By the 1900’s over two thousand miles of railroad tracks were laid down. Trains were more reliable than other modes of transportation, such as boats that were dependent on good weather and seasonal change to be fully operational. Of course
