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

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
The (a) happens when demand for transportation is greatest during the day, week, season or year.
Demand for transportation are viewed from three aspects:
unit of carriage, the way, terminals
motive power, the way, terminals
load factor, carrying capacity, density
the way, terminals, loadability
The (a) is designed to operate economically in smaller cities and specialization in larger cities.
This form of transportation is called (a) .
