What is Transportation Planning?

Transportation planning is identifying future transportation needs and developing strategies to meet them.

It involves analysing current transportation systems, identifying gaps and inefficiencies, and developing plans to improve the provision of transportation services. Transportation planning is an essential component of logistics management and involves managing the movement of goods, people, and vehicles. It includes various processes such as network optimisation, route planning, carrier selection, and load planning. Transportation planning aims to ensure efficient and cost-effective movement of goods and services while meeting customer demands and minimising environmental impacts.
