This dimension sorts transport concepts by the mode of transport they belong to, such as rail, road, water or air. Wikipedia defines a mode of transport as "a method or way of travelling, or of transporting people or cargo," and each mode carries its own concepts, standards and history. Grouping by mode keeps ideas that share a physical setting together even when their subject matter differs.
