Description This unit offers students a comprehensive knowledge of the physical and economic structure of each of the fundamental modes of transport for private and commercial stakeholders. In this fundamental introductory unit, each mode - road, rail, air and sea - is presented from economic and market intelligence perspectives, giving students vital information on what drives passenger and freight behaviour and how the modes are interlinked. Students will participate actively, learning intelligent and strategic transport decision-making and communication skills through a series of team-based strategic activities. These skills will improve students\\\' ability to perform well in subsequent units and ultimately in their transport or logistics careers.
