Transport Geography system and its importance: A Review
Keywords:
Transport, geographyAbstract
To overcome human and physical restrictions like distance, time, administrative divisions and geography. They provide friction to any movement, referred to as distance friction (or friction of space). In an ideal world, transportation would be free, with infinite capacity and reach. Geographical distance would be irrelevant. In reality, transportation is constrained by geography, which exchanges space for time and money and can only be partially restricted. The amount to which this is done varies greatly depending on criteria such as travel length, mode and infrastructure capacity, and cargo type.
