TRANSPORTATION AND
ITS IMPORTANCE AND
IMPACT TO THE
SOCIETY AND ECONOMY
How has transportation evolved over time and how has it
impacted society and the economy?
Page 7 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

NUMBER 1:
TRANSPORTATION PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN
SIGNIFICANT FACILITATING TRADE, COMMERCE, CONQUEST,
AND SOCIAL INTERACTION.
ROLE
Transportation plays a crucial role in facilitating
trade, commerce, conquest, and social interaction.
It allows for the movement of goods and people,
connecting different regions, markets, and
communities.
Page 8 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

NUMBER 2: SUPPORT
Good transportation is necessary but not sufficient
for economic growth. The absence of supportive
transportation services will limit or hinder a nation
or region's potential for economic growth.
Page 9 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

NUMBER 3:
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT
Transportation can have negative effects such as
danger, noise, environmental changes, pollution,
and energy consumption.
Page 10 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

NUMBER 4:
ECONOMIC VITALITY
The speed, cost, and capacity of available
transportation have a significant impact on the
economic vitality of an area and the ability to make
maximum use of its natural resources.
Page 11 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

NUMBER 5: GOOD
TRANSPORTATION
Good transportation permits the specialization of
industry or commerce, reduces costs for raw
materials or manufactured goods, and increases
competition between regions, thus resulting in
reduced prices and greater choices for the consumer.

HISTORY OF
MODES OF
TRANSPORTATION
BUÑING, CYRELL H.
 Page 14 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

7600 BC
The first mode of transportation was created in
the effort to traverse water: boats. Those who
colonized Australia roughly 60,000–40,000
years ago
 Page 15 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

4000 BC
Human beings learned to use animals such as
donkeys, horses and camels for transportation as
early as 4000 BC.
Page 16 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

3500 BC
The wheel was invented in Iraq
and the first wheel was made
from wood. Initially, a canoe-like
structure was used for water
transportation.
Page 17 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

3100 BC
Egyptians invented the
sailing boat while the
Romans built roads across
Europe.

2000 BC
Chariot came up in the
scene.

China.

1783 AD 1801 AD
Hot air balloon came up. Steam load locomotive came up.
Page 21 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Did you know?

On the 19th September 1783 Pilatre De Rozier, a scientist, launched
the first hot air balloon called 'Aerostat Reveillon'. The passengers
were a sheep, a duck and a rooster and the balloon stayed in the air
for a grand total of 15 minutes before crashing back to the ground.
Page 22 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Did you know?

Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive known to have
hauled a load over a distance at Pen-y-darren in 1804. Salamanca,
built in 1812 by Matthew Murray for the Middleton Railway, was the
first commercially successful steam locomotive.
 Page 23 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

1814
The steam-powered train was invented.

In 1814 July 25th George Stephenson invented the

steam train which was the first vehicle that could
transport tons of resources at a top speed of roughly
4 mph. He called the break through the blucher.
 Page 24 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

1816
Primitive bicycle was made.

The German Baron Karl Drais von Sauerbronn

invented the Bicycle. This Predecessors to the
Modern Bicycle was was made entirely of wood.
And it was popularly known as "Laufmaschine" or
"Running Machine" as this steerable machine had
no pedals; a rider would push his/her feet against the
ground to make the machine go forward.
 Page 25 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

1900
Airship was invented

In 1900, German military officer, Ferdinand

Zeppelin invented a rigid framed dirigible or
airship that became known as the Zeppelin.
Zeppelin flew the world's first untethered rigid
airship, the LZ-1, on July 2, 1900, near Lake
Constance in Germany, carrying five passengers.
 Page 26 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

1904
First motor-driven airplane was made

First controlled, sustained flight in a powered

airplane: was made by Orville Wright in the
Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903, during which
they travelled 37 m (120 ft). [note 1] First circular
flight by a powered airplane: was made by Wilbur
Wright who flew 1,240 m (4,080 ft) in about a
minute and a half on September 20, 1904.
 Page 27 TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

1947
The supersonic flight was invented.

The first aircraft to fly at supersonic speeds

was a Bell X-1 rocket-powered research plane
piloted by Major Charles E. Yeager of the U.S.
Air Force on October 14, 1947, and attained a
max speed of 1,126 per hour.

1957
Man-made satellite, Sputnik 1 was launched

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the

Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I.
The world's first artificial satellite was about the
size of a beach ball, 58 cm in diameter, weighed
only 83.6 kg., and took about 98 minutes to orbit
Earth on its elliptical path. (8 km/s or 18,000
mph)
