1、Unit 1 The Evolution of Transport交通工具的演化The evolution of transport has been closely linked to the development of humankind throughout the earths historyTransports early function was to meet the basic need of hauling food supplies and building materialsBut with the formation of tribes，then peoples，an

2、d finally nations，the societal and economic functions of transport became more and more complex. At first there was mobility required for individuals，clans，households，and animals to protect them against，and to escape from，the dangers of natural disasters and tribal aggressions，and in the search for

3、the best places to settleAs tribal groups formed and gradually established their geographical identity，transport was increasingly needed to open up regions for development，to provide access to natural resources，to promote intercommunal trade，and to mobilize territorial defenseWhen the first nations

9、s efficiencyFor centuries，and particularly during the takeoff stages of local economics，society required reliable，fast，and low cost transportThe search for appropriate technologies was relatively unconstrainedThere were times in human history when the demand for reliable and fast transport was espec

10、ially pronounced，and quick solutions were required for national self-defense. During such periods of local and international conflict, human ingenuity devised new transport technologies which often proved to be the decisive element for survival, and sometimes victory. Subsequently refined and develo

11、ped, such new technologies made it possible to better meet increasing transport demand, thus improving both economic progress and human welfare.顯然符合運送的首要準則是效率。幾百年來，特別是在本地經(jīng)濟的起飛階段期間，社會需要迅速、 可靠、 和低成本的運送。尋找合適的技術(shù)是相對無約束。倍時，在人類歷史上尤為突出的可靠、 迅速的運送需求，并迅速解決方案所需的國家自衛(wèi)。在這樣的地方和國際沖突的時期人類智慧制定新運送技術(shù)往往證明的生存空間，有時勝利的決定性因素

12、。隨后改善和發(fā)展，這種新技術(shù)使可以更好地滿足日益增長的交通需求，從而提高經(jīng)濟進步和人類福祉。The need for better strategic mobility induced efforts to improve sea and land transport. This resulted in bigger and faster ships and more reliable and sturdy land vehicles. Eventually, self-propulsion was introduced, exemplified by steamboats, the rail

13、ways, and then the automobile. Research and development in the transport field finally became an organized undertaking with specific goals and objectives. As the result of the consequent concentration of talent and expertise, more and more sophisticated transport technologies evolved, such as the ai

15、 include air, surface, and water transport. Special industry needs have led to the development of transport modes that have rather limited applications, such as pipelines, cables, and belts. Within current societal needs and preferences, as well as the economic requirements of cost effectiveness, th

17、continuously, it became evident that such effectiveness had its price. A number of transport technologies implied high energy consumption and required substantial capital inputs in production and operation. As a result, several transport modes became expensive to the user. This caused equity problem

Many governments chose to subsidize transport, but quickly realized that the budget implications often caused serious distortions in their national economies.雖然

In several regions of the world having high population and industry concentrations, such detrimental impacts on the environment have reached high levels. These effects of such damage yet are to be fully explored.逐漸引起多種交通

Most existing transport modes are critically dependen

With unabated growth of demand for transport and a progressively limited supply of energy, the costs of providing transport have increased steadily. In particular, the disproportion of petroleum requirements and petroleum supply has caused serious i

Especially hard hit are countries with a partial or total dependence on an external petroleum supply, which have experienced growing deficits in their current accounts.最后，特別是石油、 世界能源資源日益減少，所引起的問題越來越多地阻礙了交通服務(wù)和操作。大多數(shù)既有交通工具都依賴石油衍生品的正常運作。對交通的需求有增無減，逐漸有限的能

But transport is and will continue to be an essential requirement for world development and human welfare

26、. There is no other choice but to look for alternatives to present transport systems or to modify the technical and operational characteristics of related modes so that energy consumption and costs wil1 be reduced and environmental impacts can be kept at a minimum. Obviously, the development of tran

In addition, public and private organizations will provide information on planned events roadworks, leisure events, exhibitions. The use to which this information is

Measures proposed must serve all these objectives and yet also be demonstrably cost-effective and enforceable.Typical design objectives for public transport priority measures include:to improve the conditions and reliability of bus operations through the introduction of appropriate bu
