Aspects of transport
Over the coming years will increasingly transport, and these are becoming more distinct and with many different genres, constantly emerge various types of vehicles and transportation across the globe.
 
The field of transport has several aspects: they can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles and business operations. Infrastructure includes a network of road transport, rail, air, river, tubular, etc.. that is used, as well as the terminals as airports, train stations, ports, bus terminals. Vehicles such as cars, bicycles, buses, trains and planes, usually travels on the network. Operations are related to the way vehicles operate on the network and set of procedures specified for the intended purpose, including the legal environment (laws, codes, regulations, etc.).. Policies such as finance system, can be considered part of operations.
 
Broadly, the project's road network is the domain of civil engineering and urban planning, vehicle design, mechanical engineering and specialized sectors such as nautical engineering and aerospace engineering, and operations are usually specialized, sometimes belonging to systems engineering.
 
Modes and categories of transport.

Ground Transportation
Ground transportation is the movement of people and goods by land. Includes road transportation, ie, by road and rail transport, by rail.

Water transportation
The water transport is the movement of people and goods by sea or rivers, boats and ships, mainly used to move goods over long distances in cargo ships or on personal trips in the Atlantic.
 
Vehicle shipping / River

Air transport
Air transport is the movement of people and goods by air using helicopters or airplanes, preferably used to move passengers or goods of high value or urgent.
 
The Brazilian aviation has grown in recent years. With the emergence of new airlines and modernization of the others, it was possible to increase the number of seats available on the Network.
 
   
Type twin rotor helicopter. Balloon and airplane.
The Brazil currently has two major airlines (TAM and GOL) and other smaller operations, such as Varig and Air Ocean, beyond the regional aviation companies. With the competition between the companies were able to improve service and reduce fares. Large international companies also operate in Brazil as American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Lufthansa, Iberia, TAP Portugal, Japan Airlines, South African Airways, British Airways, Air France, Air Canada, Varig, Tam, among others.

Tubular transport or pipeline
Tubular transport is normally used to move product through the pipeline, usually oil and natural gas. They are more known as:
 
Pipeline - in the case of natural gas transportation
Pipeline - in the case of transport of liquid petroleum and its derivatives
Ethanol Pipeline - in the case of transportation of ethanol
Minérioduto - for transporting minerals
The oil and gas and ethanol pipelines are also known by the English expression pipeline. It is the means of transport, for large quantities, safe and economic existence.
 
It is estimated that in Brazil, 500 million liters of oil are transported daily through pipelines. In Brazil are also carried orange juice and iron ore through this method.
 
Tubular transport's main advantages:

Reducing the cost of transporting liquids, medium and long distances;
The reduction of pollution, because the risks of accidents and spillage or leakage are reduced;
 The reduced consumption of fossil fuels, because the engine drives the pumps and compressors used in this mode are triggered, in most cases, for electricity, which in Brazil comes from hydroelectric plants.
