Transportation engineering

Transportation engineering deals with the efficient transport of people and goods. The content of transportation engineering changes whenever a new mode of transportation becomes viable. For example the advent of airplanes and air travel led to new technical fields such as airport design and air traffic control. Several sometimes overlapping technical specialties are part of transportation engineering  

Transportation System Engineering. Transportation System Engineering entails the efficient management and operation practices, design, and assessment of the cost-effectiveness of transportation systems. The assessment of transportation systems requires performance modeling techniques, traffic simulation, and environmental impact (noise and air pollution) analyses. 

Transportation engineering is a specialty whose content is changing with emerging technologies. The operational aspect of transportation engineering is heavily influenced by the advances in new technologies.

Without the Biodiesel Standard, there would be no sustainable biodiesel market. The Biodiesel Standard guarantees that products are properly tested for blend properties, performance in engine use, and functionality with injection systems used in the modern common rail diesel engines. Many car manufacturers state that FAME used in commercial fuel must meet both standard references EN14214, the European Biodiesel Standard, and ASTM D 6751, the U. S. Biodiesel Standard (Table 3.1). Making biodiesel that complies with the applicable Biodiesel Standard helps guarantee the functionality and performance in transport engines.

Ten minutes from the ferry station Haukelid and Larsen left the car to ski to Kongsberg, forty miles away around the lake, where they would catch a train for the first leg of their escape to Sweden. Sdrlie carried a report for London to the clandestine radio. The driver returned the stolen car and he and the Rjukan man strolled home. At Haukelid s suggestion the Norsk Hydro transport engineer had arranged a foolproof alibi over the weekend doctors at the local hospital operated on him for appendicitis, no questions asked.
