Characteristics of urban transport
Main types of transportation
Public transport
Owned by either the government or private companies
Private transport
Owned by individuals
Quality of transport infrastructure
Characteristics of a high-quality transport infrastructure
Efficient : Frequent services to move people quickly
Dependable and reliable : Transport system can be depended upon to move people constantly, on time and with few interruption
Large capacity : able to move large number of people at any one time
Safe : safety feature of car accidents
Comfortable : clean environment of transports
Refers to the quality of certain facilities, such as roads, railway tracks, and bus terminals
Density of transports network
Routes
Refers to the connection between two nodes
How to determine the density of transport networks
The amount of nodes and routes seen can determine the density of transport networks. Higher density networks are highly developed and well connected
Nodes
Refers to a destination
Transport networks
Refers to the system of routes that are connected with nodes
Traffic Congestion
Refers to the road being unable to handle the amount of vehicles
Traffic congestion happens because of the lack of good quality transport infrastructure, low density transport networks, and increased private transport.
Poor quality transportation infrastructure can lead to accidents that may injure or take the lives of people
The increase of private transport used can cause slower mobility of people and goods from place to place
A low density transport networks indicates that it is poorly developed and not well connected. This makes it harder for people to get around places
