Chapter 1, Problem 2P

To determine

The future challenges in the field of transportation.

Explanation of Solution

The future challenges in the field of transportation are as follows:

1. Logistics and Supply-Chain Management
2. Design of vehicle and Transportation Services
3. Infrastructure in transportation Services
4. Specialties within Infrastructure Engineering of Transportation

Logistics and Supply-Chain Management:

• Logistics is the process of planning, executing and controlling the well organizedand preserving of goods ofconcerned information from origination to consumption as required by customer.
• The concept of expansion of logistics is called supply chain management.
• In this it coordinates the products, reduce the organization cost and flow of cash to maximize the consumption satisfaction.

Design of vehicle and Transportation Services

• Design of vehicle and manufacture is an important industry in the United States and includes the application of mechanical, aerospace engineering skills and alsowell-trained mechanics and workers from other fields.
• This type of service provides jobs like vehicle drivers, flight attendant and other professionals like lawyers, social scientists and ecologist can also work in transportation field with draft legislation.

Infrastructure in transportation Services

• This includes the planning, design, construction, operations, and management of a transportation system.
• Appropriate transportation infrastructure system consistent with society's economic development, resources, and goals to construct and manage the system in a safe and efficient manner.

Specialties within Infrastructure Engineering of Transportation

• Transportation engineers are employed by the agency which are responsible for building and maintaining a transportation system, which includes federal, state, local government, railroads.
• They can also work in the consulting field to carry the plan and engineering tasks for this type of organizations.
