 The application of scientific principles to the

planning, design, operation, and

management of transportation systems.
 Transportation is everything involved in
moving either the person or goods from the
origin to the destination.
 An act of laying out a transportation system
aiming to predict the needs/demands for a
particular service.
 A system providing the opportunity to
integrate travelers, vehicles and infrastructure
into a comprehensive system through a
range of technologies.
 Transportation engineering is the
application of the principles of engineering,
planning, analysis, and design to the
disciplines comprising transportation: its
vehicles, its physical infrastructure, safety
in travel, environmental impacts, and
energy usage.

 Ubiquity: the amount of accessibility to the
system, directness of routing between access
points, and the system's flexibility to handle a
variety of traffic conditions.
 Mobility: the quantity of travel that can be
handled. The capacity of a system to handle
traffic and speed are two variables connected
with mobility.
 Efficiency: the relationship between the cost
of transportation and the productivity of the
system. Direct costs of a system are
composed of capital and operating costs, and
indirect costs comprise adverse impacts and
unquantifiable costs, such as safety.
 National Highway Authority (NHA): Function of
the organization is to Plan, Promote, Organize
and Implement Programs for Construction,
Development, Operation, Repairs and
Maintenance of National Highways/ Motorways
and Strategic Roads.
 Civil Aviation Authority Pakistan (CAA): Civil
Aviation Authority is a Public sector autonomous
body working under the Federal Government of
Pakistan through the Ministry of Defence. It
was established on 7th December, 1982 as
an autonomous body.
Pakistan Railway Advisory and Consultancy
Services, (PRACS): It provides consultancy
and advisory services for the planning,
design and management of projects in all
disciplines of railways.
• Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works
(KSEW):It was established in 1957 and
employs a staff of over 3,500. Principal
activities of KSEW are ship building, ship
repair, submarine & warship construction
and general engineering.
• Port Qasim Authority: Port Bin Qasim is
managed by Port Qasim Authority. It is
Pakistan's second busiest port, handling
about 40% of the nation's cargo (17
million tons per annum). Their duty is to
develop Port Qasim into Pakistan’s premier
