Book Description

There is a need for understanding the movement of freight and its characteristics, because of its importance in promoting efficiency and economic growth. Therefore, freight involves the movement of goods, across infrastructure elements using vehicles, to where people needs them most. Freight movement activities are normally performed by private companies using public infrastructure and governed by regulations that are implemented by public authorities. The study seeks to examine and get insight into freight movement activities, as related to economic growth by the private companies as well as how the public authorities respond in providing necessary public transporting infrastructure, plans and regulations.
