meaning of the term traffic

original (in preindustrialTime) means itself the term „the fact that something wrongly (is) “, thus something () moved. First the term did not have of the today usual implications.

Different were combined according to means of transport their typical characteristics in groups into branches of traffic, like e.g. the railway (= quantity of all traffic systems and their components, their characteristic the Spurführung of the rail-mounted vehicles in the wheel rail system, driving in the space distance etc..) „if railway is summarized these traffic systems under the generic term “, naturally also under macro-economic criteria were analyzed. Conditions - like before in the view the whole national economy - the movement of all units in this defined traffic system in the interest of.

characteristics of the traffic process

traffic volume, traffic width (transportation width), traffic work, traffic time, traffic capacity, traffic stream strength (river intensity), traffic source strength and/or. - source intensity (supply intensity), traffic lowering strength and/or. - lowering intensity (discharge intensity), traffic throughput, traffic speed. These characteristics are importantly for the quantitative evaluation of traffic processes and for the traffic modelling (z. B. in the traffic economy, Verkehrsökonometrie, traffic planning, traffic physics and in the transporting enterprise technology).

goods and passenger traffic

traffic develop as consequence of spatial separation more sociallyActivities such as a living, work, itself forming and itself recovering. It creates conditions for a high mobility of humans, for supply of goods and services, for emergence of industrial sites, as well as specialization of productions. Thus traffic serves the space overcoming and becomesas a basic need of humans outstandingly.

The list for rules as well as the monitoring of their observance is incumbent on the traffic Ministries of the federation and the countries, the traffic papers of the districts and municipalities, as well as the police, and/or. special mechanisms (e.g. Air traffic control, Federal Office for goods traffic (BAG), water protection police, Datenschutzbeauftragte/r).
