Fixed Facilities
Are the physical components of the system that are fixed in space and
constitutes the network of links and nodes of the transportation
system.
The links could be roadway segment and railway track and pipes
The nodes could be intersections, interchanges, transit terminals,
harbors, and airports
The design of these fixed facilities has traditionally been within the
realm of civil engineering. i.e. Construction of the fixed facilities is
a subject of civil engineering.
The design includes:

Flow Entities
Are the units that traverse the fixed facilities.
These include people, vehicles, container units, railroad cars,
and so on.
In the case of a road system (highways, multilane highways,
freeways, expressways), the fixed facilities are expected to
accommodate a wide variety of vehicle types, ranging from
bicycles to large track-trailer.

Control System
The control system consists of vehicular control and flow control that keeps the
people achieve their activity goals..
Vehicular control refers to the technological way in which individual vehicles are guided
on fixed facilities.
Vehicular control must incorporate in the proper geometric design of fixed
facilities in addition to the vehicular attributes.
Such controls can be manual or automated.
In the case of highway facilities, where the vehicles are manually controlled, these
include driver's characteristics, such as time a driver takes to perceive and react to
various stimuli.
In the case of automated systems, similar, but more precisely definable response times
exist as well. eg. ITS Intelligent Transportation System
The flow control system consists of the means that permit the efficient and smooth
operation of streams of vehicles and the reduction of conflicts between vehicles.
This system includes various types of signing, marking, and signal systems and the
underlying rules of operation.

Monorail
Amonorailis arailwayin which the track consists of a single rail,
typically elevated.
The term is also used to describe the beam of the system, or the
vehicles traveling on such a beam or track.
The term originates from joiningmono(one) andrail(rail), from as early
as 1897, possibly from Germany.

Metro
Network of transit ways with frequent, all-day service between stations
with enhanced amenities.
Some METRO lines use trains, others use buses.
Whether it runs on a road or on tracks, customers can expect trips at
least every 15 minutes throughout most of the day.
In some cases, metro systems are referred to assubways

"underground railway" in 1863

Maglev
Maglev(derived from magnetic levitation) is a transport method that uses magnetic levitation to
move
vehicles
without
touching
the
ground.
Withmaglev, a vehicle travels along a guideway using magnets to create both lift and propulsion,
thereby reducing friction by a great extent and allowing very high speeds.
Construction of the line began in March 1, 2001, and public commercial service commenced on 1
January 2004.
The top operational commercial speed of this train is 431km/h (268mph), making it the world's
fastest train in regular commercial service since its opening in April 2004.
Japan's newmaglevbullet train is now the fastest in the world.
Japan Railways' latest mag-lev bullet train just broke its own record as the fastest train in the world.
The bullet train travelled at 603 kph (374 mph), blowing through last week's top speed of 590 kph
(366 mph).

Articulated System
Articulated Bus - (either amotor busortrolleybus)
Usually asingle-deckdesign, and comprises two rigid sections linked by
apivoting joint(articulation) enclosed by protective folding
Approximately 18 m (59ft) in length; standard rigid-construction buses
are usually 11 to 14 m (36 to 46ft).
Bi-articulated bus, where the vehicle has two trailer sections rather than
one. Their capacity is around 200 people, and their length about 25 m
(82ft).
