TPT250 Chapter 3 & 4

The ratio of available output/capacity over actual/utilized capacity is called _____________ ______________.

• Loan factor

• Loaf factor

• Loading capacity

• Load factor

Choose the correct statement:

• The closer the load factor to 100%, the better is the degree of utilization and return.

• The closer the load factor to 100%, the lesser is the degree of utilization and return.

• A reduced load factor means the better is the degree of utilization and return.

• An increased load factor means less utilization and return.

For goods traffic, the payload of a vehicle is the revenue earning potential in terms of the seats capacity, which can be accommodated.

• True

• False

One of the following is NOT the way to determine payload/carrying capacity:

• load bearing capacity & dimension of unit of carriage

• load bearing capacity of the way

• size of motive power

• no. of hours per day the system is in use

____________ refers to the cubic capacity needed per ton weight of the freight.

• Tonnage

• Destiny

• Destination

• Density

Calculate the density of this container.

• 70.64 m³

• 80.14 m³

• 86.14 m³

• 80.64 m³

The lower the density the better it is for loadability.

• True

• False

Operating costs are expressed as a percentage of ________________.

• income

• profit

• revenue

• losses

One of the ways to measure the output of transportation is to multiply no. of passengers with distance traveled (in kilometers or miles).

• True

• False

In order to measure the output of freight movement, the density of the load is multiplied by the distance it is carried.

• True

• False
