Transportation engineering two consists of two parts: the first part is relating to railway engineering and the second part relates to airport engineering. We will be taking up different aspects related to railway engineering and airport engineering in succession during these lecture series. Today, we will be starting with the introduction of railway engineering and in this introduction we will be taking up different aspects as mentioned here. We will be looking at the importance of the transportation systems. We will go through the history of the Indian railways, we will look at the zoning systems adopted by the Indian railways and then, we will also be looking at some of the important characteristics by which we can compare different transportation systems by the special reference to rail and road transport systems. (Refer Slide Time: 01:33) Now we start with the importance of transportation system. When we start with this one, as you have seen, we have different systems working by which we can transport not only the passengers but the goods. In general, the transportation system can be defined by using this definition which includes number of characteristics of any transportation system taken in general. (Refer Slide Time: 02:05) It can be defined as, it is an optimum combination of Fixed facilities, Flow entities, Operational plans, Storage facilities and Control systems that permit people and goods to overcome the friction offered by geographical spaces in a most efficient, safe and convenient manner in order to achieve time and place utility for the desired activity. -

Arata Isozaki, a prominent Japanese architect renowned for his versatility and transnational approach to design, has won his field's highest accolade, the Pritzker Architecture Prize. The 87-year-old will receive his coveted award, which consists of $100,000 and a bronze medallion, in May at the Palace of Versailles in France. The jury praised Isozaki for surpassing "the framework of architecture to raise questions that transcend eras and borders", and for his "profound knowledge of architectural history and theory, and embracing the avant-garde". It said in a statement: "He never merely replicated the status quo, but his search for meaningful architecture was reflected in his buildings that, to this day, defy stylistic categorisations." In a career that has spanned six decades so far, with more than 100 buildings around the world, Isozaki's approach has constantly evolved. More so than style or materials, his work is characterised by a search for what architecture can contribute to society. Isozaki's work began locally as Japan rebuilt following the devastation of World War II, and Allied occupation. He designed many buildings in his hometown, before expanding to Osaka and the capital, Tokyo. The 1980s saw Isozaki's international reputation grow with his first overseas commission, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and other prominent buildings, including the Palau Sant Jordi, which was part of the setting for Barcelona's 1992 Olympic Games. Pritzker Architecture Prize Founded in 1979 by the late Jay A Pritzker and his wife, Cindy, the Pritzker Architecture Prize honours a living architect or architects whose work combines talent, vision and commitment and who has produced "consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture". -

Assistant Professor, Research Scholar, Department of Commerce, FCBS, Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies, Faridabad 2. Associate Professor, Head, Department of Commerce, FCBS, Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies, Faridabad Abstract Travel has become an integral and important source of revenue to tourism industry. Passengers not only travel with a motive to cover distance but it has become a social status as well as source of rejuvenating oneself. Tourists experience of Indian Rail Trail witnesses earthy liveliness and grounded culture. Indian Railways has shown fastest growth in terms of technology advancement and introducing new initiatives in the market. Indian Railways not only runs passenger or cargo trains, besides that also provide leisure rail trips. Rich in furnished interiors with royal backgrounds, excellent dining option, high tech amenities in the trains, luxurious five-star stay during journey, best of cuisines are served and a comfortable journey. Along with luxurious trains, Indian Railways has also introduced semi- luxurious trains and circuits round the country are available at door step. These circuits and semi- luxuries trains provide various packages to consumers. Moreover, many consumers are not aware about these packages as they are being positioned through railway websites and railway tourism sites. The study aims to determine awareness level towards Indian Railways Tourism Products. It was observed by the study that there is a very little awareness of Indian Railway Tourism Products. There is a need for some innovative methods to create awareness among travelers to avail the tourism services extended by Indian Railways in addition to normal travel and transport services. -
