“Current Transport Inefficiencies Create High
Transportation Costs”
Transportation costs in Africa are among the highest in the
World. In many African Countries, transportation costs represent 33 to 52 percent of the value of exports

Modes of Coordinated Transportation System
• Roadways• Transit• Airways• Seaports• Motorcycle/Bike Paths• Etc.

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.
![Page 8: Transportation Planning and Design in Practice Presented by Dr. Adiele Nwankwo, Ph.D Senior Vice-President, Parsons Brinckerhoff at the Developing Sustainable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e495503460f94b3c38e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
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
![Page 9: Transportation Planning and Design in Practice Presented by Dr. Adiele Nwankwo, Ph.D Senior Vice-President, Parsons Brinckerhoff at the Developing Sustainable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e495503460f94b3c38e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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.
![Page 10: Transportation Planning and Design in Practice Presented by Dr. Adiele Nwankwo, Ph.D Senior Vice-President, Parsons Brinckerhoff at the Developing Sustainable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e495503460f94b3c38e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
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.

Transit Sub-Modes
• Personalized Transit Systems• Bus Transit• Bus Rapid Transit• Streetcars• Fixed Guideway Vehicles• Light Rail System• Heavy Rail• Commuter Rail

Bus Transit
![Page 15: Transportation Planning and Design in Practice Presented by Dr. Adiele Nwankwo, Ph.D Senior Vice-President, Parsons Brinckerhoff at the Developing Sustainable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e495503460f94b3c38e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bus Rapid Transit
• Premium transit using rubber tire vehicles• Dedicated running way• Fewer stops than local
bus• Distinct stations,
vehicles, and systems
• Allows flexibility to operate multiple routes

Streetcar or Light Rail Transit
• Street Car or Light Rail Vehicle: An electrically propelled rail vehicle operated singly or in trains on shared, semi exclusive, or exclusive right-of-way
![Page 17: Transportation Planning and Design in Practice Presented by Dr. Adiele Nwankwo, Ph.D Senior Vice-President, Parsons Brinckerhoff at the Developing Sustainable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e495503460f94b3c38e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Fixed Guideway Vehicles
• Automated guideway small and medium-sized vehicles that operate fully automatically on guideways with exclusive rights-of-way
• Typically on a loop or as a shuttle within central business districts, airports or other high activity centers
![Page 18: Transportation Planning and Design in Practice Presented by Dr. Adiele Nwankwo, Ph.D Senior Vice-President, Parsons Brinckerhoff at the Developing Sustainable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e495503460f94b3c38e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Light Rail Transit
• Modern version of traditional streetcars
• May operate alongside auto, rail traffic• Reduces costs• Increases travel time
• Stations 1∕3-1½ miles apart
![Page 19: Transportation Planning and Design in Practice Presented by Dr. Adiele Nwankwo, Ph.D Senior Vice-President, Parsons Brinckerhoff at the Developing Sustainable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e495503460f94b3c38e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Heavy Rail
• The term heavy rail is often used for regular rail, to distinguish from systems such as light rail, monorail, Street car etc.
• Heavy rail typically refers to the standard inter-city rail network, which is built to be robust enough for heavy and high-speed trains, including freight trains, and long distance passenger trains.

Commuter Rail Transit
• Similar to passenger railroad service
• Existing railroads with improvements• Sidings• Additional tracks
• Long-distance commuting
• Stations 1½ -5 miles apart
