Road transport
The main reasons for the active use of road transport in logistics systems are its inherent flexibility of delivery and high speed of intercity transportation.
Air transport
Cargo aviation is the newest and least demanded type of transport. Its main advantage is the speed of delivery, the main disadvantage is the high cost of transportation, which is sometimes outweighed by the speed of delivery
Pipeline Transportation
Pipelines are an important part of the transportation system and are designed mainly for pumping crude oil and liquid petroleum products, natural gas, liquid chemicals and dry bulk products (cement) turned into an aqueous suspension.
Operational indicators of watercraft
A distinction is made between single cargo tonnage, when all cargo spaces are used simultaneously, and double, when cargo spaces are used one by one for even loading of the vessel.
The performance indicators of railway vehicles
capacity factor, equal to the ratio of the actual weight of cargo in the car to its capacity

In fact, today unmanned cars, trains and ships are already actively used for cargo transportation. And this is convenient, because no driver, pilot or operator is required.
