CONGESTION OF MODE TRANSPORTATION

The issue of overcrowding is expected to remain as one of the major issues that persist in transport geography. With the anticipated demand may have a significant impact on the nature and form of future transportation industry. In the short term at least, the road transport industry is expected to continue dominance of transport. 

There are two basic reasons for this claim. In the developed world have mastered the car and truck market, and patterns of living of the people, industry and services have adjusted themselves rather to demand this mode. 

(a) Low density

The broad pattern of pushing space traffic congestion is getting more out, and make it extremely difficult for higher capacity modes other than competition. At the same time the demand for mobility is growing as a result of rapid industrialization in developing countries such as China and India. There are also changes taking place in the capital in favor of road transport. Increase well-being in these countries is a huge potential for growth in road transport.

(b) Congestion is a phenomenon bound space

It occurs in certain locations that have an impact on a variety of scales, from the intersection of highways that may slow down traffic over several hundred meters, blocked the port that can disrupt the flow of goods more than half of the continent. Each event is the reaction chamber, the car driver who seek out an alternative route to the sender choose a different mode or point of entry for successful delivery. Increased demand and increased likelihoods congestion will increase new answer space and therefore it seems very likely that the new flow structure and space to exist.

(c) Demand management 

With respect to the conditions and in what type of location can move modified request. In the context of the market, when the supply of permanent and increasing demand, price adjustment on the inevitable happen. However, much transportation infrastructure, such as roads, are provided free of charge, reflecting the cost changes, increased congestion levels. Thus, there is a growing need to provide incentives and re-evaluate priorities in the use of infrastructure, particularly in urban areas.

Already there is evidence of air transportation for passengers and cargo growth in the number of smaller airports. 

(a) Economic and social impact

In a context where more simultaneous transport network congestion can create a multiplier effect not only affects the cost, but also the reliability of the transportation system. Economic and social impact of congestion continues to be a major issue, especially in developing countries where it can hinder economic growth.

(b) Passengers than freight 

Congestion also raised the issue of priority transport passengers than when they share transport infrastructure or when activities such as terminal or cargo distribution center is located in proximity to the location where the public transit passengers. This requires a careful assessment of the cost of each particular passenger congestion and freight transport system and in which circumstances impose the external congestion. A key issue concerns how the distribution of goods can be better integrated in the urban environment in which the movement of passengers tend to dominate  city logistics field .

THE IMPORTANT OF SHIPPING INDUSTRY IN MALAYSIA

As we can see that shipping industry became more important nowadays. It is because there a higher demand for the shipping services from Malaysia and also increase the maritime trade with local capacity of tonnage. There a several important that we can take in shipping industry:

1. Job Opportunities

Within the development of the shipping industry in Malaysia, we will create more jobs for Malaysians. The opportunities will reduce the percentage unemployment in Malaysia. It also will produce skilled workers through training provided before they enter the sector. It also will attract traders to come Malaysia to open their business in this country when our country have many skilled workers. Our local people can shows their skills such as engineering, architecture, welding and fabrication. It will give the many of the benefit for the industry like bulk breaking of goods, storage and steel.

2.  Strength the infrastructure and facilities

Infrastructure and facilities at port was important because shipping industry is the backbone for the Malaysia. The facilities like cafeteria. It was important because trader can rest after they tired work on the ship. Shipyard was important because when ship was broken they need to repair or maintenance their ship and can make the smooth journey.

3. Technology

The development of the shipping industry in our country much good to the nation. One of them is technology. For example, if a lot of ships from importers come to our country, while technology has also moved from their country to country. This is because we want the best in shipping management in our country that seeks to attract customers from outside the country. For example, in shipping technology which has been developed is the progress of the growing quay crane at every port such as Port of Tanjung Pelepas.

4. High Land Value

The price of land in the old days is cheap compared to now. Examples of land in Port of Tanjung Pelepas is cheap until no one can expect that the land will someday be useful to the country. Until finally Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhari buy the land for development purposes. But now the value of the Port of Tanjung Pelepas join us higher and expensive land.


5. Increase currency exchange

When the others trader from another country come to our country they need to exchange their money to our money value because they need to buy food or maintenance their ship. This is also can help currency of money to our country. Country will be growth and can maintain our profit. It is importance for country to increase their development.

6.  Increase import and export

If the good infrastructure at the port it will be attract traders such as the new comers technology. Size of port also important because more large areas will load many of ship. Efficient and effective ways of management for the long time ship to stay at port it will make delay for another ship. If the good infrastructure and facilities this is can influence the import and export.

Sea-Tac is able to use one centralized system. This is will allow the airport to take the advantage of the electricity can be more saving by lowering peak usage. This is show how rates are charged, and down the road the system can power up during low rate periods.

This project is a huge benefit to the airlines as we can expected to pay off in less than three years and Sea-Tac applied for and received grants to cover nearly half of the project's cost. Additionally, by removing the portable diesel units on the ramp can reduce greenhouse gases and noise. So even less for the airlines to pay

the pre-conditioned air debuts at Sea-Tac airport to reduce air emissions and save millions in fuel costs.

This project can reduce gas CO2 from planes.This long investment also will reduce airlines in terms of money. It also can reduce carbon footprint. Another advantage is reduce air pollution and reduce noise pollution.this a good project because can generate 100,000 new jobs. In this globalization was hard to us to find work.
