Professor, Computer Science & Engineering, Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering and Research, Nagpur, 2 Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT The movement of people, animals and goods from one place to another is generally defined as Transportation. Transportation systems form integral building blocks for a modern society. Transporting goods from one location to another is difficult as it takes lot of time & effort. The operation of transportation determines the efficiency of moving products. The progress in management such as delivering goods in time with speed, maintaining service quality, computing the operation costs, managing the usage facilities, improvement in moving load and saving energy are all the crucial aspect of transportation. Transportation takes a crucial part in the manipulation of logistic. Looking at the current condition, there is a need of strong system that has a clear picture of logistics and techniques to link the producing procedures. The objective of the paper is to define the role of transportation in logistics for the reference of further improvement. The research is focused on handling and understanding the different aspects of logistics in various terms and applications and to comprehend the link between transportation and logistics. Keywords: Transportation, Logistics, Connecting Businesses, Online Strategy, Energy Saving, Time Consuming. I.

They comprise physical and non-physical activities (e.g. transport, storage and supply chain design, selection of contractors, freightage negotiations respectively). Most activities of logistics services are bi-directional. Figure 1. Logistics historical development While considering 1950s, logistics was under the slumbering situation. Managers mainly always concerned about the production, and industry logistics was once regarded as “necessary evil” in this period. During the 1950s applying new ideas of administration on business was a tendency. Due to petroleum price that tremendously rise in 1973, the effects of logistics activities on enterprises drastically increased.

An efficient transport system plays a major role in logistics activities that could always provide better logistics efficiency, reducing the operation cost, and promote service quality. The improvement in transportation systems is very much needed and the effort from both public and private sectors are also, to be emphasized. A. The Effects of Transportation on Logistics Activities Transportation plays a very effective role among the various steps that result in the transformation of resources into useful goods in the name of the final consumer.

He will be redirected to the "Rides Requested" page. VI. CONCLUSION The proposed system uses GPS and Web Technology in order to increase the positioning experience. The position detection and tracking system effectively alerts the user about the position of a person using mobile phone. This location and position of person information can be viewed online.
