MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION

Historical review

• The man needed to move and transport

different elements, at first they moved by
walking, after inventing the wheel, they
used animal traction.
• the wheel appeared in Mesopotamia in
3200 BC all current machines especially
conveyors use motors (which provide
rotational movement)

Bicycle,
unicycle
Locomotive
Cars
•Due to the need to transport man
individually, in 1818 Draisienne
invented the antecedent of the
bicycle. In addition we find the
unicycle
•Motorcycle Vehicle with 2, 3 and 4
wheels, self-propelled, without track
and sometimes it can be used by 2
people and reach a speed of 100 km /
hour.
Locomotive
•It improved little until 1820, the year in
which the British engineer George
Stephenson adapted a steam engine to a
locomotive and started, between Stockton
and Darlington, in England, the first
steam railway.
•From 1850 this mode of transportation
began its expansion in Latin America. The
railway network financed by French, English
or American capital
 The car
• The man looked for a way to invent a
device that would transport him quickly
and comfortably without the need to
use animals.
• Wars developed new kinds of automobiles,
such as tanks and buses. Later varieties
of cars emerged and today the automotive
industry is one of the largest and most
important in the world, they were
considered a luxury and now it can be
considered that today having a car is not a
luxury, if not a need.
Collectives
• Urban transport Since there is currently
too much population, the authorities saw
the need to create urban transport for the
high number of inhabitants
More modern and larger
capacity services
Train and trains
Subway, subway
•The metro has been an effective
means of transportation in large
cities since it consumes electrical
energy, is established underground
and the maintenance cost is low and
does not pollute.
•The bullet train we can observe
the evolution of the railway that has
been perfected and that is more
usual in Japan.
Water transport
•The first boats were just rafts and
floats until a hollowed-out log was
invented - that was the first boat.
• The ancient Romans, for
example,
used sailboats with multiple paddle
benches over time. These
changes, together with the
incorporation of the compass,
made it possible to navigate in the
open sea without sighting the
coast.
• The primitive propulsion elements that
the man used to move his boats, such as
the oar, which required too much effort,
or the sail that depended on the
capricious wind, were not effective
enough, since sometimes they did not
allow him to arrive successfully to his
destiny.
• He succeeded in designing steam-
based systems, which in turn completely
changed the design of ships, and it can
be considered that this fact brought about
a basic modification in the behavior of
humanity.
Air transport
•From the origin of humanity, the
human being has wanted to imitate
birds. After numerous failures,
Joseph and Etienne Mongolfier
inflated the first free balloon on
June 4, 1783. From that time until
the beginning of the 20th century,
the aeronautical advances were
not decisive enough, but important
and necessary.
• Subsequently, the Second World War
caused an important technological
advance such as radar, the jet engine,
among others. Communications
were also significantly sophisticated,
making this means of transport the
fastest of all the existing ones. Large-
scale commercial aviation developed
in the 1960s and 1970s, resulting in a
considerable increase in passenger
and freight air transport
