(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Transport, or transportation (as it is called in the United States), is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans, meaning across, and portare, meaning to carry.The field of transport has several aspects, loosely they can be divided into a triad of infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Infrastructure includes the transport networks (roads, railways, airways, canals, pipelines, etc.) that are used, as well as the nodes or terminals (such as airports, train stations, bus stations and seaports). The vehicles generally ride on the networks, such as automobiles, trains, airplanes. The operations deal with the control of the system, such as traffic signals and ramp meters, railroad switches, air traffic control, etc, as well as policies, such as how to finance the system (e.g. use of tolls or gasoline taxes in the case of highway transport).
Broadly speaking, the design of networks are the domain of civil engineering and urban planning, the design of vehicles of mechanical engineering and specialized subfields such as nautical engineering and aerospace engineering, and the operations are usually specialized, though might appropriately belong to operations research or systems engineering.
Modes of transport
Modes are combinations of networks, vehicles, and operations, and include walking, the automobile/ highway system, railroads, maritime transport (ships, waterways, and harbors), and modern aviation (airplanes, airports, and air traffic control).
Categories of transport
- (Non-human) Animal-powered transport
- Aviation
- Cable transport
- Conveyor transport
- Human-powered transport
- Hybrid transport
- Motorized road transport
- Motorized off-road transport
- Personal rapid transit (resembles an automated taxi service)
- Pipeline transport
- Rail transport
- Ship transport
- Space transport
- Proposed future transport
Transport and communications
Transport and communication are both substitutes and complements. Though it might be possible that sufficiently advanced communication could substitute for transport, one could telegraph, telephone, fax, or email a customer rather than visiting them in person, it has been found that those modes of communication in fact generate more total interactions, including interpersonal interactions. The growth in transport would be impossible without communication, which is vital for advanced transportation systems, from railroads which want to run trains in two directions on a single track, to air traffic control which requires knowing the location of aircraft in the sky. Thus, it has been found that the increase of one generally leads to more of the other.
Transport, activities and land use
There is a well-known relationship between the density of development, and types of transportation. Density is defined as area of floorspace per area of land. As a rule of thumb, densities of 1.5 or less are well suited to automobiles. Densities of six and above are well suited to trains. The range of densities from about two up to about four is not well served by conventional public or private transport. Many cities have grown into these densities, and are suffering traffic problems. Personal rapid transit might fill this gap.
Land uses support activities. Those activities are spatially separated. People need transport to go from one to the other (from home to work to shop back to home for instance). Transport is a "derived demand," in that transport is unnecessary but for the activities pursued at the ends of trips.
Good land use keeps common activities close (e.g. housing and food shopping), and places higher-density development closer to transportation lines and hubs. Poor land use concentrates activities (such as jobs) far from other destinations (such as housing and shopping).
There are economies of agglomeration. Beyond transportation some land uses are more efficient when clustered.
Transportation facilities consume land, and in cities, pavement (devoted to streets and parking) can easily exceed 20% of the total land use. An efficient transport system can reduce land waste.
Transport, energy, and the environment
Transport is a major use of energy. Most transport burns hydrocarbons. If partially burned, these create pollution. Though vehicles in the United States have been getting cleaner because of environmental regulations, this has been offset by more vehicles and more use of each vehicle.
Low-pollution fuels can reduce pollution. The most popular low-pollution fuel at this time is liquified natural gas. Hydrogen is an even lower-pollution fuel.
Another tack is to make vehicles more efficient, which reduces pollution and waste by reducing the energy use. If electricity can be gotten to the vehicle, electric motors are the most efficient of all. Another method is to generate energy using fuel cells, which are two to five tiems as efficient as the heat engines traditionally used in vehicles. A trivial, but very effective method is to streamline ground vehicles, which spend up to 75% of their energy on air-resistance. Another method is to recycle the energy normally lost to braking, but this leads to a more complex vehicle.
Other uses of the word transport
The term penal transportation refers to sending persons abroad as punishment. The term transport is also used to describe certain computer network protocols (see Transport layer).
In biology the word transport refers to the movement of molecules or ions across cell membranes or via the bloodstream. Usually this transport is mediated by proteins.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In computing, the transport layer is level four of the seven level OSI model. It responds to service requests from the session layer and issues service requests to the network layer.The transport layer provides transparent transfer of data between hosts. It is responsible for end-to-end error recovery and flow control. It ensures complete data transfer. In the IP protocol Stack this function is achieved by the connection oriented Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or the datagram type User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The purpose of the Transport layer is to provide transparent transfer of data between end users, thus relieving the upper layers from any concern with providing reliable and cost-effective data transfer.
The transport layer turns the unreliable and very basic service provided by the Network layer into one worthy of the term 'Communication'. There is a long list of services that can be optionally provided at this level. None of them are compulsory, because not all applications want all the services available. Some can be wasted overhead, or even counterproductive in some cases.
On the internet there are a variety of Transport services, but the two most common are TCP and UDP. TCP is the more complicated, providing a connection and byte oriented stream which is almost error free, with flow control, multiple ports, and same order delivery. UDP is a very simple 'datagram' service, which provides limited error reduction and multiple ports. TCP stands for Transport Control Protocol, while UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol.
- Connection Oriented. This is normally easier to deal with than Connectionless models, so where the Network layer only provides a connectionless service, often a connection oriented service is built on top of that in the Transport layer.
- Same Order Delivery. The Network layer doesn't generally guarantee that packets of data will arrive in the same order that they were sent, but often this is a desirable feature, so the Transport layer provides it. The simplest way of doing this is to give each packet a number, and allow the receiver to reorder the packets.
- Error 'Free' Data. The underlying network may well be noisy, and the data received may not always be the same as the data sent. The Transport layer can fix this: typically by providing a checksum of the data which detects if there has been a glitch of some kind. Of course, error free is impossible, but it is possible to substantially reduce the numbers of undetected errors. This layer may also retransmit packets which have gone missing en route.
- Flow Control. The amount of memory on a computer is limited, and without flow control a larger computer might flood a computer with so much information that it can't hold it all before dealing with it. Nowadays, this is not a big issue, as memory is cheap while bandwidth is comparatively expensive, but in earlier times it was more important. Flow control allows the receiver to say "Whoa!" before it is overwhelmed. Sometimes this is already provided by the network, but where it is not, the Transport layer may add it on.
- Byte Orientation. Rather than dealing with things on a packet-by-packet basis, the Transport layer may add the ability to view communication just as a stream of bytes. This is nicer to deal with.
- Ports. Ports are essentially ways to address multiple entities in the same location. For example, the first line of a postal address is a kind of port, and distinguishes between different occupants of the same house. Computer applications will each listen for information on their own ports, which is why you can use more than one network-based application at the same time.
Some things, such as connection orientation can be implemented at either Transport or Network layer. The idea is that the Network layer implements whatever set of options is easiest: for some underlying networks it is easiest to implement connectionless communication, while for others it is easiest to implement connection oriented communication. The Transport layer uses this simplest set of options to implement whatever combinations of options are actually desired.

Transportation in the Netherlands
Rail transport (heavy rail)
Railway tracks
(2001)
Two new lines are being constructed: the HSL (see below) and a freight line from Rotterdam to Germany, the Betuweroute. [1]
- all standard gauge (1.435 m);
- total: 2,809 km (multiple track counted once)
- electrified: 2,061 km (2001), 1,500 volt DC, see w:nl:Elektrificatie#Nederland.
- single track: 931 km.
- total length of tracks 6,505 km (multiple track counted multiple times).
- 3,004 level crossings, of which 2,144 protected.
Two railway arcs will be ready in December 2003:
A third arc being constructed is:
- Hemboog between Schiphol/Amsterdam-Lelylaan and Zaandam, bypassing the crossing at Amsterdam Sloterdijk (see [1])
- Gooiboog between Hilversum/Naarden-Bussum and Almere Muziekwijk (see [1])
ProRail takes care of maintenance and extensions of the national railway network infrastructure (not the metro or tram), allocating rail capacity, and traffic control.
- Utrechtboog between Schiphol/Amsterdam-Rai and Bijlmer/Utrecht (city), bypassing the crossing at Duivendrecht.
The rail capacity supplied by ProRail is used by five public transport operators (see below) as well as cargo operators: Railion, ERS, ACTS, Shortlines. Also there is Herik Rail, with seven carriages, where trains can be chartered for parties, meetings, etc. The other charter train company is the NESM Nostalgie Expresse; this company makes a lot of trips with historic (steam) trains. They also run some dance and partytrains. See also [1]
Railways for public transport
Trains have 1st and 2nd class.
- operated mainly by Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), minor parts by NoordNed, Syntus, Connexxion and DB Regionalbahn Westfalen; all have a common tariff system.

International trains
- Amsterdam C - Schiphol Airport - The Hague HS - Rotterdam C - Dordrecht - Roosendaal - Antwerp Berchem - Mechelen - Brussels Nord - Brussels C - Brussels Midi). See also Train routes in the Netherlands#Train number series (series 600).
- The train can use 1500 volt DC (Netherlands) and 3000 volt DC (Belgium).
- Thalys [1]: Amsterdam C - Schiphol Airport - The Hague HS - Rotterdam C - Antwerp Berchem - Brussels Midi -Paris Nord; twice a week also to Marne-La-Vallée-Chessy (Disneyland Resort Paris)
- The train can use 1500 volt DC (Netherlands), 3000 volt DC (Belgium) and 25000 volt AC 50 Hz (France).
- High speed between Brussels and Paris.
- HSL-project: a new high-speed railway is being built between Schiphol Airport and Brussels.
- Amsterdam Centraal - Berlin Ostbahnhof, Germany, has stops in the Netherlands at::
- Amsterdam Centraal
- Amersfoort
- Deventer
- Hengelo
- (further see Transportation in Germany)
- Amsterdam Centraal - Cologne Hbf, Germany and further to Munich, Germany and Basel SBB, Switzerland and Vienna Westbf, Austria, partly by ICE [1], has stops in the Netherlands at:
- Amsterdam Centraal
- Duivendrecht (not all trains stop here)
- Utrecht Centraal
- Arnhem
- (further see Transportation in Germany)
Night service
There is a night service, called Nachtnet (Night Network, although it is just a single U-shaped line) with an hourly service connecting Rotterdam Central, Delft, The Hague Central, Leiden Central, Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam Central, Utrecht Central. Due to the U-shape, the travelling time from the first four stations to Utrecht is longer than during the day.
Public transport in general
For metro and tram there are no night services. There are night buses in a number of cities, usually on Friday and Saturday night only, possibly only during the first part of the night.
A public transport pass for train (2nd class), bus, metro and tram costs 2928.50 euro/year (2004: 3099.50). It is also valid on the ferries Vlissingen-Breskens, Amsterdam-IJmuiden and Rotterdam-Dordrecht. It is not valid on most other ferries, nor on the Thalys. Night services by train are included, those by bus are not.
Other public transport
(see also Airports below)
All metros, trams and buses (except the neighborhood buses and night buses) share the National Tariff System.
Metro
(all standard gauge (1.435 m))
- Amsterdam, Diemen, Ouder-Amstel, operated by Gemeentelijk Vervoerbedrijf (GVB) (GVB site, metropla site)
- power 750 volt DC
- Rotterdam, Schiedam, Spijkenisse, Albrandswaard, Capelle aan den IJssel, operated by Rotterdamse Electrische Tramweg Maatschappij (RET) (RET site, metropla site)
- power 750 volt DC
- The eastern parts of the system have some level crossings (with priority), and could therefore be called light rail instead of metro; however, they are integrated in the system; these parts have overhead wires, while the rest has third-rail, the vehicles can handle both.
Tram / light rail
(all standard gauge (1.435 m))Randstad Rail is a plan (expected to be operative in 2006) to:
- Amsterdam, Diemen, Amstelveen, operated by GVB
- power 600 volt DC
- Rotterdam, Schiedam, operated by RET
- lines: 1 Schiedam Woudhoek - CS - De Esch, 2 Charlois - Lombardijen NS, 3 Kleiweg NS - CS - Diergaarde Blijdorp, 4 Molenlaan - CS - Marconiplein(M) - (in peak hours to Schiedam Broersvest), 5 Schiebroek - CS - Willemsplein, 7 Spangen - CS - Woudestein, 8 Spangen - CS - Oostplein, 20 CS - Beverwaard, 23 CS - Feijenoord Stadion
- The Hague, Rijswijk, Leidschendam-Voorburg, Delft, Nootdorp, operated by Haagsche Tramweg Maatschappij (HTM)
- power 600 volt DC
- Utrecht, Nieuwegein, IJsselstein, operated by Connexxion (light rail in the sense of intermediate form between tram and train, with its own right-of-way, with level crossings with priority).
- Stops for both branches: Moreelsepark - Stadsbusstation - Westplein - Graadt van Roggenweg - Ziekenhuis Oudenrijn - Vijf Meiplein - Vasco da Gamalaan - Kanaleneiland Zuid - Westraven - Zuilenstein - Batau Noord - Wijckersloot - Nieuwegein Centrum.
- Further stops for Nieuwegein branche: Merwestein - Fokkesteeg - Wiersdijk - Nieuwegein Zuid.
- Further stops for IJsselstein branche: St. Antonius Ziekenhuis - Doorslag - Hooge Waard - Eiteren - Clinckhoef - Achterveld.
- Houten, operated by NS (light rail line, could be called metro, though not underground, with its own right-of-way, without level crossings).
- power 1500 volt DC (tram has been adapted with a so-called 'downchopper' to allow the use of this higher voltage), overhead wires
- picture: [1]
(see www.randstadrail.nl).
- connect the Erasmus Line of the Rotterdam metro system to the existing railway Hofplein Line that would be converted from heavy rail to light rail, allowing the Rotterdam metro trains to run to the Hague Centraal railway station; at the north end of the Hofplein Line a new connection would be made with the Hague Centraal to keep heavy rail and light rail apart;
- connect tram lines 3 and 6 in The Hague with the existing railway Zoetermeer Line that would also be converted from heavy rail to light rail and would be extended with a new Oosterheem Line which would become part of line 6; existing tram tracks would be adapted for longer and wider vehicles
In 2003 construction will start of a light rail line between Maastricht and Kerkrade.

Oddly and unfortunately, for large parts of the Netherlands bus line maps do not seem to be available on the web. However, they are often posted at bus stops and can sometimes also be obtained on paper in bus information offices (sometimes in a less detailed version, e.g. without bus stops being marked).

Maps showing all streets and also public transport
General map showing railways and stations well (i.e. also in smaller scales), but, oddly, without station names:
General map showing railways well, but stations only in larger scales, with station names popping up:
- NS rail travel planner - contains a detailed map of the whole country; to view a location, specify it as destination and choose an arbitrary point of departure, then ask for the route map of the post transport from the train station. If you specify "Public transport" as means of pre or post transport, you will be redirected to http://www.ovr.nl with the corresponding map.
General map showing railways well, but stations only when highly zoomed in, and no station names:
Of these three, only the NS map shows metro lines, without stations, and none show tram or bus lines. www.ovr.nl shows only the single bus stop concerned on the map, not the line or the other stops.
- Yellow pages / Telephone directory - A map (plattegrond) is provided after searching for a company or person; if one just wants to use the map, do an arbitrary search like [1] , select Plattegrond and by zooming out and selecting an area to zoom in go to any part of the map.
For general maps see also Geography of the Netherlands#External links. There are hardly any maps on Internet that show virtually all streets as well as tram or bus lines (the maps of Dordrecht and Werkendam mentioned above seem to be the only ones, with on the latter not all lines). However, such maps are available on paper for many cities.
