    NAME, IBRAHIM MEMUNA


    INDEX NUMBER 09210162
    PLM 203DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORTATION
    MANAGEMENT

    QUESTION ONE
    Describe the different type of transport infrastructure.
    Transportation infrastructure is the system of public works, fixed installation and terminal that
    support the movement of people and goods by different mode of transport. It includes road,
    railways, , pipelines, bridges, airport, station and other safety and environment.

    AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
    Airline, passengers and cargo need safe, functional and affordable airport infrastructure for their
    operations to develop. International Air Transport Association IATA works with airports and
    government authorities on major airport development project across the globe and seeks to
    ensure that they result in adequate infrastructure for airline. We also developed vision for airport
    of the future based no new technologies that will make air travel efficient.

    RAILWAYS INFRASTRUCTURE
    Railways infrastructure includes all the structure, buildings, land, and equipment to support rail
    line. Railways infrastructure isn’t just limited to track, it includes all the structures, buildings,
    land, and equipment to support the rail lines. Infrastructure is the fixed assets used for the
    operation of the railway. Example include stations, tracks, level crossings tunnels and electrified
    line.

    WATERWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
    Inland navigation, inland barge transport or inland ways transport is a transport system allowing
    ships and barges to use inland waterways such as canals, rivers and lakes. These waterways have
    inland ports, marinas, quays and wharfs.
    ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE
    Road infrastructure include physical assets like the road themselves, as well as everything
    associated with them, for example bus stops, trucking terminals, signage, drainage and structure
    such as bridges or tunnels.

    PIPELINE INFRASTRUCTURE
    Pipeline infrastructure means privately, publicly or for transmitting or distribution gas, oil and
    petroleum products, or other similar commodity or substance which serve the public directly or
    indirectly, including underground and surface facilities, as well as facilities on shared basis and
    related infrastructure.

    QUESTION 2

    EXPLAIN HOW ANY FIVE OF THESE TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE ARE


    MANAGED

    ASWERS
    MANAGING RAIL TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
    Managing rail transport infrastructure also requires multifaceted and sustained concerted effort.
    The railway lines of Ghana have deteriorated over long stretches and lot of funds are needed to
    rehabilitate it.
     REGULAR MAINTENCE AND REHABITATION
    Every rail infrastructure should have a maintenance and rehabilitation schedule to guide
    its management. Maintenance refer to minor works and rehabilitation refer to major
    works on the rails. The schedule should specify when minor works should be carried out
    and major works should carried out .If this had been done in the past the railway line of
    Ghana may have been in the state it is today.
