Ground transportation is the primary transport network that ensures the movement of goods and passengers using automobiles and other land transport vehicles. This mode of transport is one of the most widespread and commonly used transport forms worldwide. Ground transport plays an important role both locally and internationally.

Ground transportation allows for the movement of both small and large quantities of cargo from one point to another. These transports are highly flexible and elastic, making them widely used for transporting various types of goods and for the fast and comfortable movement of passengers. Road freight, especially at regional and local levels, is efficient and cost-effective for short and medium distances. Ground transport is also significant for international trade, as it strengthens trade connections between countries and ensures cargo transport through border crossings. This type of transport is often carried out as part of multimodal transport systems, combining with other transport modes (rail, air, and sea).

The greatest advantage of ground transport is its flexibility. Since vehicles and trucks can move along various routes, they can easily reach more regions. However, compared to other transport types, ground transport may have slower speeds, especially on long distances and congested roads.

The environmental impact of ground transport is also becoming an important issue. Emissions from cars and trucks can harm the environment.

Therefore, recent research has been focused on more eco-friendly alternatives, such as electric trucks and alternative fuels. However, overall, ground transport remains the most widely used transportation form worldwide and an essential part of the transport network.
