Transportation Systems Engineering

Transportation Engineering deals with planning, analysis
and design, implementation, operation and maintenance
of transportation systems
Components of a transportation system
Fixed facilities
Flow entities
Control systems

Transportation systems should be planned,

implemented, operated and maintained for efficient
movement of people and goods overcoming friction of
geographic separation for timely participation in desired
activities without creating economic waste
