transport

impact of transport systems (S.E.E.P.)
increased mobility for elderly & people with disabilities
safety risks
health risks
traffic congestion

impacts

increase carbon footprint and worsens air quality

loss of productivity

-occurs when road usage approaches or exceeds road capacity -tends to occur during peak periods when people are rushing to school or work in the mornings or evenings

noise pollution

sleep problems

increased heart rate elevated blood pressure

hearing impairment

stress

changing physical envrionment

development of transport system ->require physical space

results in change of physical environment

impacts people who are dependent on the environment

connectedness

when a transport system is in place, the movement of people, goods and services, cultures, become more accessible as they are able to travel across geographical boundaries

more interaction with foreign cultures

more diversity and variety

goods and services are more accessible and available worldwide

people are more mobile and it helps to strengthen and maintain social relationships

quality of transport infrastructure
capacity

number of people/ goods that can be transported

reliability

frequencies of breakdowns/delays

ease of reaching destinations or activities. when a location / place can be easily reached by various modes of transport, we say that this location highly accessible.

environmental sustainability

environmental impact

convenience

ease of movement

frequency

number of occurences of a service

coverage

availability and reach of infrastructure

terminologies
route

connection between two nodes

transport infrastructure

structures that facilitate the flow of traffic

transport network

system of transport routes connecting set of nodes

nodes

junctions and terminals

the greater the number of routes and nodes, the greater the network density
