Components of Transportation Systems
Organizations
1. Facility-oriented Organizations involved in planning,designing, constructing,maintaining, and operatingfixed facilities (ex: DOTC,
RTA, MMDA, DPWH, PPA,ATO, private landdevelopers, etc)
2. Operating Organizations (orCarriers)
concerned with operatingfleets to providetransportation services. Theyinclude railroads, airlines,ship or barge lines, trucklines, transit operators, andprivate individuals who
operate automobiles,motorcycles, and bicycles.

CIVIL ENGINEERING INVOLVEMENT INTRANSPORTATION
The primary involvement of civil engineers in transportationhas been in the provision of physical facilities (physical civilengineering) and the devising of operating strategies
(systems engineering) for them.
Physical CivilEngineering
design, construction,and maintenance offixed transportationfacilities andinvolves the fullspectrum of civilengineeringspecialties
Systems Engineeringplanning and operation of the transportationsystem, and is involved in transportationplanning, including the analysis oftransportation demand; the analysis of system
capacity and operating characteristics; and thedesign of traffic control and operatingstrategies (which includes highway trafficengineering and operational design of freightand mass transit systems).
