 | | Transport engineering (alternatively transportation engineering) aims to ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. |
 | | Technical forecasting or urban passenger travel presently involves what is called the four-step urban transportation planning model, requiring the estimation of trip generation (how many trips for what purpose), trip distribution (destination choice, where are you going), mode choice (what mode is being taken), and route assignment (which streets, transit routes are being used). |
 | | Locating and designing airports, seaports, canals, shipping ways, as well as all planning and design for mass transit (bus, subway, and commuter rail) are the responsibilities of transportation engineers. |
