TE C Lect1-3

1. Population growth - Karachi's population has increased rapidly, leading to more trips taken and greater congestion. 2. Economic development - As the economy has grown, more people can afford vehicles, increasing vehicle ownership and miles traveled. 3. Land use patterns - Expanding development at the urban fringe has separated homes from jobs and services, requiring longer trips.

Classification of Transportation Systems

• Roadways
• Transit
• Airways
• Seaports
• Motorcycle/Bike Paths
Rivers and Canals

• The first stage of the


industrial revolution was
linked to the development
of canal systems in Western
Europe and North America
to transport heavy goods.
• This permitted the
development of
rudimentary and
constrained inland
distribution systems.
Seaports
• Linked with the early stages of
European expansion from the
16th to the 18th centuries.
• Ports supported the
development of international
trade through colonial empires,
but were constrained by
limited inland access
Railways
• The second stage of industrial
revolution in the 19th century
was intimately linked to the
development and
implementation of rail systems
• Allowed a more flexible inland
transportation system.
Roadways
• The 20th century saw the
development of road
transportation systems and
automobile manufacturing.
• Individual transportation became
a commodity available to the
masses, especially after the
Second World War.
• This process was reinforced by
the development of highway
systems.
Airways
• The later part of the 20th
century saw the development of
global air networks
• Fueled by Globalization of
economic activities.
• Electronic communications
supported transport functions,
especially in realm of logistics
and supply chain management.
ACCESSIBILITY-SPEED CHARACTERISTICS FOR
VARIOUS MODES OF TRANSPORTATION
Modal share in Pakistan
Importance of Highway Transportation
• Highway transportation is the means of
detail distribution between homes,
shops, factories, e.t.c.
• It is only the roads which can carry goods
from and to aerodromes, harbours and
railway stations
Highway Classification
• MATERIAL CLASSIFICATION
– Black top roads (engineered)
– Gravel roads (engineered)
– Kutcha tracks (non-engineered)
• JURISDICTION CLASSIFICATION
– National highways
– Provincial highways
– Local streets
• FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
HIGHWAY FUNCTIONS AND CLASSIFICATION
Example1: Nazimabad, Karachi
Example2: Lombard Street,
San Francisco, CA–
