MEANING AND DEFINITION
“The process of moving an itemfrom point A to point B.”
“Safe, efficient, reliable, and sustainable movement of persons and goods over time and space”
Importance of transportation:1) Place Utility.2) Industrial Development.3) Employment Opportunities.4) High Standard of Living.5) Distribution of Perishable
Goods.6)Emergency Transportation.
TRANSPORTATION FUNCTIONALITY
Functions of Transportatio
n
Product Movement
Product Storage
Product Movement Temporal:
- Product is locked up during transit, hence inaccessible.
- Positive amount of time is spent in transporting material.
- Time is a resource[Temporal Resource] expended in Transportation . - During the time product is locked up costs are
incurred in proportion of time. Financial:
- Administration costs, Salaries, Maintenance costs are expended.
Environmental: - Fuel costs are high[Creates air pollution, congestion, Noise pollution.
Product Storage:
It is a temporary storage in stationery vehicle. Product storage is expensive in transport vehicle. In some situations Product is done such as:
When the cost of unloading and reloading the product in the Warehouse is more expensive.
When storage space is limited. Or,
At other times, temporary storage is used due to diversion. This occurs when an original delivery destination is changed while the inventory is in transit.

Types of Transportation
1.Road Transport.2. Rail Transport.3. Water Transport.4. Air Transport.5. Pipeline Transport.6. Ropeway Transport.
Road Transport: * Advantages;
1. Door to Door Service.2. Economical over short
distances.3. Flexibility.4.Limited Capital Expenditure.
* Disadvantages;
1. Irregular and Unreliable.2. Unsuitable for Long Distances
3. No Uniformity in Rates.4. Limited Speed.5. Affected by Weather.
Rail Transport:
* Advantages;
1. High Speed.2. Suitable for Long
Distances.3. Bulky Goods.4. Protection.5. Large Carrying Capacity.
* Disadvantages;
1. Huge Capital Expenditure.2. High Overheads.3. No Door to Door Service.4. No Competition.5. Inflexible Mode.
Air Transport:
* Advantages;
1. Flexible.2. Quick service.3. Natural Highways.4. Protection.5. High Speed.
* Disadvantages;
1. High Cost of Construction and Maintenance.2. Costliest.3. Limited Carrying Capacity.4. International Restrictions.5. Unsuitable for Bulky Goods.
Water Transport:
* Advantages;
1. Cheapest Mode of Transport.
2. Large Carrying Capacity.3. Safety.4. Protection to Goods.5. Flexibility.
* Disadvantages;
1. Slow.2. Huge Capital Expenditure.3. High Cost of Maintenance.4. No Door to Door Service.5. Special Packing.
Pipeline Transport:
Generally liquids like oils, crude, petroleum products are transported.
More than 6350 KM of Pipeline exits in India.
Currently 27% of petroleum products are moved by pipelines in India.
Ropeway Transport:
Ropeway Transport is used for transporting materials in hilly areas.
In India 16% of total area is hilly, Currently in India nearly 178 Km rope ways are used for transportation.
CONDITIONS AFFECTING TRANSPORTATIONCondition Factor Examples
Geography Distance, physiography, accessibility
Shipping between India and banhaldesh vs. shipping between India and US
Type of product Packaging, weight, perishable
Shipping coalShipping flowers or wine
Economies of scale Shipment size
A 747 compared to 737 (passengers) ULCC compared to a VLCC (freight)
Trade imbalance Empty travel Trade between China and the United States
Infrastructure Capacity, limitations, operational conditions The Interstate
Mode Capacity, limitations, operational conditions A bus compared to a car
Competition and regulation
Tariffs, restrictions, safety, ownership
The European Union, NAFTA

TRANSPORTATION COST STRUCTURES
Variable: costs vary with services or volume: line-haul costs of fuel, labor and maintenance handling pickup and delivery
Fixed: constant regardless of activity Facilities, equipment and administration
Joint: “hand-in-hand” costs -- unavoidable Example: the backhaul move
Common: shared costs (“overhead”) need for Activity-based costing
COST STRUCTURE FOR EACH MODULE:
Mode Fixed Costs Variable Costs
Rail High- Equipments, Terminals , Tracks ,etc
Low
Road Low-Highway provided by government
Medium-Fuel , Maintenance, etc
Water Medium-Ships and Equipment
Low-As capacity is huge
Pipeline Highest-Right of the way , construction, Equipment for control station and Pumping capacity
Lowest-Insignificant labour costs
Air Low-Aircraft and cargo handling systems
High- Fuel, labour, Maintenance

FACTORS DRIVING COSTS
Stowability- how product Dimensions can be positioned.
Handling- Load & Unload. Liability- product characteristics that
can result in damage & claims.

PRICING STRUCTURES
Cost-of-service: “cost plus” method
Value-of-service: “market based” method
Combination: a middle of the road approach using cost (minimum) and value (maximum)
Net Rate Pricing: All-inclusive prices specific to customers’ needs (not discount-based)
FIXED AND OPERATING TRANSPORT COSTS
Mode Fixed/Capital Costs
Operating Costs
Rail or Highway
Land, Construction, Rolling Stock
Maintenance, Labor, Fuel
Pipeline Land, Construction Maintenance, Energy
Air Land, Field & Terminal Construction, Aircraft
Maintenance, Fuel, Labor
Maritime Land for Port Terminals,Cargo Handling Equipment, Ships
Maintenance, Labor, Fuel
COST VARIATIONS IN TRANSPORT Elasticity of Demand- goods of high unit value
are better able to bear costs of transport than low value goods- “charge what traffic will bear”
Competition between Transport Modes Example: Rail wishes to compete with trucks
on short haul must keep rates down Other examples: Wine ship Angelo Petri
COST VARIATIONS IN TRANSPORT
Differences in Cost of Services: Loading characteristics- light, bulky goods
demand higher charges than heavy, compact articles
Size of Shipment- large, single consignments permit economies in administration and terminal costs
Susceptibility to Loss and Damage and Risk Liability- a. fragile and/or perishable goods- b. refrigerated, insulation and special packaging
CONCLUSION:
Transportation and logistics systems have interdependent relationships that logistics management needs transportation to perform its activities and meanwhile, a successful logistics system could help to improve traffic environment and transportation development.
Since transportation contributes the highest cost among the related elements in logistics systems, the improvement of transport efficiency could change the overall performance of a logistics system.
