Study Notes
- The approach is relevant to all transportation modes and is general for all geographical contexts.
- A basic framework for thinking about transportation problems and how to solve them are introduced.
- Transportation is used as a public-policy lever.
- Transportation benefits from private sector investment.
- Transportation constitutes an industrial base, for example the auto and shipbuilding industries.
- Transportation is a major employer.
- Transportation allows economic development.
- Transportation requires large-scale infrastructure with long term impact.
- Transportation has environmental impacts and must move toward sustainable systems.
- Technology, institutions, and systems are all related.
- “Transportation systems are not rocket science - it is a lot harder.”
- A system is considered complex when it consists of multiple related units/subsystems.
- The relationship between these subsystems are imperfectly known.
- The overall behavior of a complex system is difficult to predict.
- The timescales of various subsystems may differ greatly.
- CLIOS have large impacts, are long-lived, and large-scale geographically.
- Subsystems within CLIOS are integrated and coupled through feedback loops.
- CLIOS explicitly consider social, political and economic aspects.
- CLIOS are counterintuitive and so their performance is difficult to predict.
- Performance measures for CLIOS are difficult to define and agree about, depending on the viewpoint.
- Human agency is often involved in CLIOS.
- Transportation systems can be characterized by system components that include internal and external components.
- Transportation systems can be characterized by networks.
- An elevator system can be a simple illustration of transportation systems.
- Transportation is about key points and framworks.
- The transportation system characterization may be described by joint ownership or operation, private ownership or operation, or public ownership or operation.
- Transportation systems can be for travelers or cargo.
- Transportation systems can be defined as urban, regional, intercity, or international.
