Introduction

One of the primary factors that influence the public transportation sector in Saudi Arabia is the low petrol prices. Saudi Arabia is well known for its abundance of oil. Given that it’s one of the global suppliers of oil, petrol in the country is very cheap. The low prices make it more desirable for the public to use private transportation since it is affordable and this may not change anytime soon. Nonetheless, Saudi Arabia still has a public transport network.
It is, therefore, essential to look into the economic and societal impact public transportation has on the Saudi ...

Research Rationale

Although the recovery of energy from wastes is not a new idea, its implementation continues to be challenging in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Also, as a result of economic development, increasing population, and industrialization, the problems arising from expanded consumption and reduced resources have become more serious than ever (Tõnissoo, 2012). This paper provides a proposal for using recyclable waste as a transport fuel in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The rationale for this proposal is that if wastes are used to generate fuel for transport, there will be many advantages accrued from such a venture. ...

Introduction

When looked at from a life cycle perspective, international shipping is an activity that causes enormous damage to the environment. Furthermore, international shipping is widely accepted since it’s the cheapest mode of transport, large manufacturers greatly depend on these shipping lines. Consequently, the wide use of shipping lines globally leads to massive environmental pollution not only during their operation time but also including the times these vessels are being made (Therivel, 2004). During their manufacture, large quantities of raw materials are being extracted from the environment; moreover, the processes involved also pollute the environment (Schryver, 2010).

When roads are full of cars and buses and trucks, we get traffic congestion which is a serious issue that every country has to face. The congestion of traffic defies the smooth movement of vehicles in suburban areas and prevents a smooth flow of vehicles. In urban areas with a high growth rate traffic causes problems in their daily life. The problem of congestion cannot be easily fixed by just applying physical constructions such as bridges, motorways and the widening or improvement of existing roads. There is a requirement to create some new form of technology to assist transportation ...

Background of Research:

How quickly is society moving towards the depletion of oil? The particular question, with huge political and financial, communal and cultural implications, is one of those causing intense controversy. Oil-producing countries and oil companies are reassuring when insisting that the depletion of oil is not visible in the near future. The counterargument, which incorporates the main part of the so-called theory of oil- peak (Peak Oil), argues that, even if it is not directly visible, the depletion of the main at the moment energy source of the world is uncertain, that almost half the oil resources have been consumed ...

SUMMARY

Global warming is a serious issue that threatens the survival of future generations. Various methods are being devised to reverse the effects of global warming such as the use of green energy. Motor vehicles running on fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which are a major cause of global warming. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to address the issue of global warming without considering emissions from the transport industry. Electric vehicles are a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles that combust fossil fuels. The vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery that drives an electromagnetic motor. ...

PART 1

Delivery Delay
One of the risk categories that is related to freight transportation is transport can easily be interrupted when the weather is not favorable. During winter seasons rivers and lakes freeze thus the services are likely to be interrupted for several months. Drought conditions on the other hand can also interrupt the transport since the water levels are likely to be lowered thus restricting the flow of traffic. Generally weather is a major risk factor to this mode of transport (Novack, 2011).

Product Loss

The second risk category is spilling of dangerous oils in the seas and oceans during transportation. ...
