    LAND

    TRANSPORTATION
    John Joseph T. Amiler
    Land Transportation
    • Land transport is the transport or movement of people,
    animals or goods from one location to another location
    on land.
    • The two main forms of land transport can be considered
    to be rail transport and road transport.
    2 Types of Land Transportation

    • Human powered transportation


    • Animal-powered transportation
    Human powered transportation
    • The transport of people and/or goods using human
    muscle-power, in the form of walking, running and
    swimming.
    • Modern technology has allowed machines to enhance
    human power.
    • Human-powered transport remains popular for reasons
    of cost-saving, leisure, physical exercise, and
    environmentalism
    Animal-powered transportation
    • Animal-powered transport is the use of working animals
    for the movement of people and goods.
    • Humans may ride some of the animals directly, use them
    as pack animals for carrying goods, or harness them,
    alone or in teams, to pull sleds or wheeled vehicles
    Road transportation
    • A road is an identifiable route, way or path between two
    or more places.
    • Roads are typically smoothed, paved, or otherwise
    prepared to allow easy travel
    Road transportation
    • The most common road vehicle is the automobile; a
    wheeled passenger vehicle that carries its own motor.
    • Other users of roads include buses, trucks, motorcycles,
    bicycles and pedestrians. As of 2002, there were 590
    million automobiles worldwide.
    Road transportation
    • Automobiles offer high flexibility and with low capacity,
    but are deemed with high energy and area use, and the
    main source of noise and air pollution in cities.
    • Buses allow for more efficient travel at the cost of
    reduced flexibility.
    • Road transport by truck is often the initial and final stage
    of freight transport.
    Rail Transportation
    • Rail transport is where a train runs along a set of two
    parallel steel rails, known as a railway or railroad
    • The rails and perpendicular beams are placed on a
    foundation made of concrete, or compressed earth and
    gravel in a bed of ballast
    Rail Transportation
    • A train consists of one or more connected vehicles that
    run on the rails.
    • The locomotive can be powered by steam, diesel or by
    electricity supplied by trackside systems
    • Also, a train can be powered by horses, cables, gravity,
    pneumatics and gas turbines
    Rail Transportation
    • Railed vehicles move with much less friction than rubber
    tires on paved roads, making trains more energy
    efficient
    • Freight trains traditionally used box cars, requiring
    manual loading and unloading of the cargo. Since the
    1960s, container trains have become the dominant
    solution for general freight
    Land Transportation in the Philippines
    • Jeepneys are a popular and iconic public utility vehicle.
    • They have become a symbol of the Philippine culture.
    • Another popular mode of public transportation in the
    country is the motorized tricycles, especially common in
    smaller urban and rural areas.
    Land Transportation Office
    • Land Transportation Office, a front line government
    agency showcasing fast and efficient public service
    for a progressive land transport sector.
    LTO Functions
    • the inspection and
    registration of motor
    vehicles, issuance of
    licenses and permits,
    enforcement of land
    transportation rules and
    regulations, and
    adjudication of traffic cases
    LTO Functions

    transportation laws, rules,
    and regulations.
