  2. Traffic analysis zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Analysis_Zone

    A traffic analysis zone or transportation analysis zone (TAZ) is the unit of geography most commonly used in conventional transportation planning models. The size of a zone varies, but for a typical metropolitan planning software, a zone of under 3,000 people is common.

  3. Transport geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_geography

    Transportation geography detects, describes, and explains the Earth's surface's transportation spaces regarding location, substance, form, function, and genesis. It also investigates the effects of transportation on land use, on the physical material patterns at the surface of the earth known as 'cover patterns', and on other spatial processes ...

  4. Transport network analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_network_analysis

    The core of a network dataset is a vector layer of polylines representing the paths of travel, either precise geographic routes or schematic diagrams, known as edges. In addition, information is needed on the network topology, representing the connections between the lines, thus enabling the transport from one line to another to be modeled.

  5. Land transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_transport

    Human-powered transport remains common in developing countries.. Human-powered transport, a form of sustainable transportation, is the transport of people and/or goods using human muscle-power, in the form of walking, running and swimming.

  6. Transit map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_map

    A transit map is a topological map in the form of a schematic diagram used to illustrate the routes and stations within a public transport system—whether this be bus, tram, rapid transit, commuter rail or ferry routes. Metro maps, subway maps, or tube maps of metropolitan railways are some common examples.

  8. Flow map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_map

    1838 map of pre-railroad cargo traffic in Ireland, one of the first thematic maps to use proportional symbols. The earliest known map to visually represent the volume of flow were two maps by engineer Henry Drury Harness, published in 1838 as part of a report on the potential for railroad construction in Ireland, showing the quantity of cargo traffic by road and canal.

  9. Traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_flow

    In transportation engineering, traffic flow is the study of interactions between travellers (including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and their vehicles) and infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices), with the aim of understanding and developing an optimal transport network with efficient movement of traffic and minimal traffic congestion problems.
