structure of transport cost

-

Transportation cost structure is a complex system that can vary depending on the type of goods being transported, the country being transported to or from, and the method of transport. Understanding the structure of transport costs can help businesses better manage their transportation costs and ensure they have a cost-effective supply chain. In this post, we'll take a look at the transport cost structure in Bangladesh and India and the Trans-Asian Railway. Transport Costs in Bangladesh and India Transport costs in Bangladesh and India vary depending on the type of goods being transported and the method of transport. For instance, transport costs for containerized cargo shipped by sea will be higher than for bulk cargo transported by rail. Additionally, transport costs in Bangladesh and India can vary significantly depending on the distance being traveled. For example, the cost of transport to and from Dhaka, Bangladesh, is much higher than transport to and from Mumbai, India. Trans-Asian Railway The Trans-Asian Railway (TAR) is an international railway network that connects Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. As of 2020, the TAR is made up of approximately 60,000 kilometers of railway, with over 40,000 kilometers of it being operational. The TAR provides an efficient

Planetary Winds: Their Types and Definition

Planetary winds : These winds being controlled by the pressure belts, blow towards the same direction throughout the whole year. The planetary wind is of three types such as : the trade wind, the westerlies and the polar wind. So, in short, the characteristics of planetary winds are as follows: These winds being controlled by the pressure belts blow towards the same direction throughout the whole year.  Planetary winds are also known as permanent or prevailing winds  Blow from high to low pressure, over the earth surface & oceans throughout the year & in a particular direction  These winds are divided into 3 categories viz. Trade Winds (Tropical Easterlies) Westerlies Polar winds (Polar Easterlies) https://www.affairscloud.com/assets/uploads/2016/04/wind.png 1. Trade Winds (Tropical Easterlies) The sun’s rays fall vertically over the equatorial region, so the air becomes hot and goes upwards. Since the pressure is less upward, the rising air gets r

The Vance Model of Transport Development

Based on his work on the eastern seaboard of America, Vance (1970) developed a five-stage ‘mercantile’ model to illustrate the development of transport links and the growth of the urban hierarchy in North America (Figure 3.6). Although primarily concerned with trade, his model is important in that it stresses the impact of exogenous forces on the evolution of transport networks and their associated spatial patterns. The Vance Model of Transport Development In the initial stage, an accumulating of wealth in Europe prompted overseas expansion of an exploratory nature. Stage 2 sees the beginnings of the transatlantic trade routes based on the one-way trade in staple products such a fish, furs and timber. From 1620, permanent settlement occurs in North America; this results in Atlantic trade in both directions as settlers begin to produce commodities for export and consume manufactured products from a rapidly industrialising Europe (stage 3). Internal transport links are limited
