Transportation engineering deals with design, development, construction, and maintenance of roadways, railways, airports, in land navigation facilities harbor, docks, tunnels and bridges.
It is the technology by which a proper communication facility is planned, designed and constructed for easy transport of human being and goods from one place to another
Application of Transportation Engineering :
§ Easy and quick transportation of men, machines, animals, materials and goods can be made.
§ Areas which are connected by proper means of transport can be developed fast.
§ Remote areas and rural areas become accessible and communicable if connected by proper means of transport.
§ During the days of emergency e.g. wars, efficient and developed transportation system plays a vital role for quick and easy transportation of soldiers, food and ammunition.
§ Transportation through airways also plays an important role of communication to the people staying in remote areas and also helps the people in difficulties during floods. E.g. Helicopters can help the people at the time of floods.
