HUB AND SPOKE

The hub and spoke model is a system of transportation wherein traffic moves along spokes (smaller routes) connecting to a

• intermediaries

• central hub 

• suburban

• city

--------------------------are the routes that radiate out from the hub to various destinations. 

• Central hub

• Main highway

• Federal Highway

• Spokes

Concentrating traffic at a central hub reduces the need for multiple direct routes. this advantages refers to

• Cost-effective

• Efficiency

• High acessebility

• Proper scheduling

Which of the following best describes the hub and spoke model?

• A model used in bicycle manufacturing

• A transportation system where traffic moves along smaller routes connecting to a central hub

• A system for organizing airline meals

• A method for distributing goods using a wheel-like structure

Which transportation mode is commonly associated with the hub and spoke model?

• Direct point-to-point connections

• Linear transportation routes

• Multi-modal transportation

• Air transportation

In air transportation, what often serves as the central hub in the hub and spoke model?

• Smaller regional airports

• Seaports

• Major airports

• Railway stations

What risk is associated with the dependency on a central hub in the hub and spoke model?

• Overcapacity

• Congestion

• Simplified logistics

• Increased efficiency

How does the hub and spoke model improve connectivity compared to direct point-to-point connections?

• By reducing the number of transportation hubs

• By bypassing smaller destinations

• By consolidating traffic at central hubs

• By increasing the complexity of transportation routes

In the hub and spoke model, what role does the "hub" play?

• It is a small transportation center connecting various destinations directly.

• It serves as a central point where traffic is consolidated.

• It is a specialized vehicle used for transporting goods.

• It refers to the primary mode of transportation used in the model.

What is one challenge associated with the hub and spoke model

• Over-reliance on direct point-to-point connections

• Limited scalability

• Last-mile connectivity issues

• Reduced efficiency in managing traffic
