AD6- PRELIMS

Walking

The fundamental and earliest means of

transportation

mechanics and design of the transport vehicle

The art and science of transport architecture involves an

understanding not only of human activity, but also and more

importantly

Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot

Automobile was First introduced by

Montgolfier Brothers

Who flew the first balloon

Wright Brothers

achieved the first recorded

flight in 1903

Human Behavior and Actions

Transportation Types and Mode

Designing Architecture for Transportation requires understanding

two fundamental criteria:

clueless

characteristic of a tourist traveler

impress

Terminals serve as gateways to a city or country as such

they are designed to

draft animals

animals used for pulling loads using carts

beast of burden

An animal that is used to carry loads such as a camel

Ford Model T

was the first mass produced cars, making

car ownership affordable.

Hindenburg airship

1937 doomed the Airship

as a mode of passenger travel. Killing 35 people on board,

the ship was trying to land in New Jersey, USA after

crossing the Atlantic from Germany, when the hydrogen that

allowed the ship to be buoyant exploded during landing.

Calesas

taxis of the old Philippines

Pedicab

The Filipino Rickshaw

Philippine Airlines 1941

Asia's oldest airline

electric scooter

A popular form of mobility transport for local commutes, good for neighbourhood trips or short distance

journeys.

25mins

Ferry travel from Staten Island to Manhattan takes only

Banana, Bendy, Accordion, Tandem, Vestibule, Wiggle or Stretch Bus.

Buses come in a variety of sizes and capacities. One such variety

popular in congested cities are Articulated Buses or also known as

Cunard Lines Queen Mary II

The last remaining

Transatlantic passenger ship still operating point to point

passengers is

30mins

Short distance Travel should only take less than

1hr

Inter-City and Suburban Commute ideally should take

approximately

Hyperloops

allow vehicles to run in a vacuum thereby

removing drag.

Store vehicles, quick access of vehicles by users

The primary function of Transport Architecture

Diagonal

parking layout Easiest to ingress and egress

Perpendicular

parking layout Requires more skill from the driver

Parallel

parking layout with Less number of parking provided

5-kilometer radius

Short Distance travel is described to be less than

Aerodromes

Airports are also referred to as

volume of air traffic a city receives

Number and length of runway is determined

by

type of planes serviced by the airport

Runway length is dependent on the

apron

is the large area where planes are docked or

parked

Taxiway

is the tarmac that connects the runway with

the apron

hangars

a shed or shelter for housing aircraft

tarmac

airport runway

Baggage Handling Systems

Conveyor system installed at airports that transports

checked luggage from ticket counter to areas where the

bags can be loaded to the airplane

LOCOMOTIVE

The engine that propels the Train

Maglev

Uses Electricity to create magnetic

charge that levitates carriage and

propels train at high speed

Richard Trevithick

invented the First steam powered

locomotive

Boat draft

Harbour depth is calculated based on

boat draft

amount of water needed to float a boat

without touching the bottom

8-16m

depth of harbour for passenger cruise ship

4.5-6.5m

depth of harbour for yachts

2m

depth of harbour for river ferries

fathoms

depth of harbour is measured in

1.8288 m

1 fathom is equal to

marinas

Used to accommodate leisure boats

wharf

A wide open area parallel to the sea used for loading

and unloading

slipways

boat ramp

berth

area where boats are docked or moored

ergonomics

discipline concerned with the understanding of

interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and

the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to

design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system

performance

work; law

ergon:_____________; nomos:___________

physical ergonomics

This concerns the human body's response to physical and physiological work demands.

cognitive ergonomics

deals with the mental (intellectual and

psychological) aspects of the operator-activity relationship:

perception, reasoning, memory, stimuli, and psycho-motor

responses, etc.

organizational ergonomics

this focuses primarily on the

structural issues of professional systems
