Transportation, with its various modes and means, has made a very important contribution to human life, leading to the shortening of distances and the reduction of time. As an economic human activity, transport represents the link between agricultural and industrial production on one hand, and consumption on the other, through trade, for which transport forms the backbone.

The basis of transport as an economic human activity is the movement of goods and people from one place to another to cover a certain distance over time. This depends on many elements, including different modes of transport such as human muscle power, transport animals, ships, cars, trains, and airplanes. While these modes vary greatly in weight, size, capacity, power, and speed, they form an integrated system with other elements. These elements include transport infrastructure such as roads, bridges, tunnels, port docks, stations, airports, and communication systems.
