The examples of infrastructure are: bridges, roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals, pipelines, railway stations, airports, etc.
The next classification is Vehicles that travel on the networks of transportation. These vehicles are bicycles, buses, trains, car, trucks, airplane, etc.
The last classification involves: Operations. It is very important as without this, you would not be able to operate a vehicle. This includes the way in which a mode of transport is operated as well as the policies (Transport Operations Policy ) linked.
Logistics, on the other hand, is the overall management of the flow of goods that is related with the process of transportation. It also deals with the knowledge, info and other resources required to meet the requirements of consumers.
