TRANSPORTATION is the movement or conveying of persons and

goods from one location to another.

NOMADIC from the Greek word meaning "to pasture" was originally used to refer to pastoralists.

Pastoralists are a group that is in an established pattern to find pasture lands for their domestic
livestock.

Foraging populations-looking for food.

Pastoral nomads- move with their families and belongings.

SOPHOCLES

-rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud

VARIOUS ANCIENT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION

MANPOWER

1. Carrying Pole – In china and other parts of the Far

East, the carrying pole, balanced on one shoulder is a

popular carrying device.

2. Back Load and Tumpline – In many parts of the world,

goods are carried on the back. In Subtemala, pots are

carried on a wooden framework supported by a tumpline

across the forehead. In the Andes, the load is held on the

back by a strap passing over the chest.

Greek PEDESTER- to travel by FOOT.

PEDESTRIANS – traffic users to walks along the

streets, side streets and side walks.(NILALAKARAN)


2. ANIMAL POWER

a. Ox-first domesticated animal at Mesopotamia, draft animals to draw war chariots

b. Reindeer-first domesticated in Sibena, hidden with saddles

c. Dog - -too slight to carry heavy loads

d. Donkey -first domesticated in the Middle East, chief beast of

burden among the farmers of the near East

e. Llama-only new world animal capable of domestication for use in

transport pack animal in Incas

f. Horse- In Europe, were used to draw wheeled vehicles and

for riding sometime until the introduction of mechanized vehicles

g. Yak-long haired type of cattle that lives at Tibetan Plateau , pack animals at heights where horses and
ordinary animals could not live/survive.

WIND POWER- Man realized the energy from the mass of moving

air and learned to utilize such powers to lift rather than to drag.

a. Ancient Kite- Based on Korean Tradition, was first used when a Korean General employed one in a
Bridge Building. A Cord was conveyed across the river where heavier ropes were fastened and finally the
bridge cable.
b. Da Vinci's Ornithopter- which derives its principal support and propelling from flapping wings like
those of birds.

Da Vinci's Ornithopter-(aka Orthopter)

c. Montgolfier/ Hot-air Balloon-France Joseph Michel and Jacques Entiene released several balloons
when they proposed to use two condemned prisoners for the first ascent with passengers(condemned
prisoners). PILATRE DE ROZIER protested and in 1783, he and Arlanoes became the first men to make a
free balloon ascent.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

MANAGEMENT- It refers to the skillful use of means to

accomplish a purpose.

OPERATION- Pertains to a course or sense of acts or

affect a certain purpose, manner of action, or a vital or

natural process of activity.

ROADWAY- Refers to that part of the traffic way over which

motor vehicles pass.

SHOULDER- It refers to either side of the roadway,

especially along highways.

TRAFFIC-it refers to the movement of persons, goods, or

vehicles, either powered by combustion systems or

animals drawn, from one place to another for the purpose


of travel.

TRAFFIC- (from the Italian word "trafficare" to carry on trade.)

TRAFFIC WAY- refers to the entire width between boundary lines of every way or place of which any
part is open to the use of the public for the purposes of vehicular traffic as a matter of night or custom.

***WHY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IS NECESSARY?

It is designed to make the traffic safer for travelers,

expedite the movement of traffic and to provide convenience

to the traffic facilities users.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT- is an exclusive function such

as planning, organizing, and directing, supervising,

coordinating, operating, recording and budgeting traffic

affairs.

function of traffic management:

planning, organizing, and directing, supervising,

coordinating, operating, recording and budgeting traffic

affairs.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURES- these

measures are aimed at improving vehicular flow and

increasing the efficiency of existing road space, thereby


avoiding the need for major road expansion.

MAJOR CAUSES OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Physical Inadequacy-characterized by lack of roads, narrow

bridges, railroad crossings, lack of traffic facilities, etc.

Poor Control Measures- characterized by ineffective

mechanical control devices, inefficient traffic officers and poor

implementation of traffic laws, rules and regulations.

Human Errors- Most traffic congestions are caused by slow

drivers or poor driving habits, pedestrian mistakes, officer's

errors, poor planning, poor legislation.

Poor Maintenance- characterized by unrepaired diggings,

cracks on the pavements or unfinished road pavement

concreting. This can be attributed to an inappropriate budget

for the maintenance of the traffic facilities.

AGENCIES INVOLVED IN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC)-through

Land Transportation Office is responsible for the implementation of RA

4136 Land Transportation Code of Philippines and Land Transportation

Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB)


City/Municipal Engineers' Office-planning, construction and

maintenance of traffic facilities within respective locality

Department of Public Works and Highways(DPWH)- main executive

department which is responsible for the planning, construction and

maintenance of traffic facilities particularly categorized as national

highways and other major arteries.

Legislative (Congress/ City or Municipal Boards)- They are not only

responsible for the passing or amendment of laws concerning traffic but

also they are involved in the planning and approval of government

projects.

Philippine National Police -through Traffic

Management Group (TMG) is responsible primarily

for the direct enforcement of traffic laws, rules and

regulations.

HOW DO WE SOLVE OUR TRAFFIC PROBLEMS?

TRAFFIC ENGINEERS- help to improve our street and

highway system through

Use of signs, traffic signals, and control devices

Design and construction of more roads, bridges,


flyovers, tunnels, and update infrastructures to

lessen congestion.

Focus on the comprehensive objectives of

mobility, safety, energy, efficiency, and the

environment through application of scientific

methods based on the principles of system

engineering and planning.

EDUCATORS-schools in many cities and towns are

teaching young new drivers-- sometimes older ones

too- to know how to handle a car and to behave on

streets and highways.
