This is a sampling of the upper concepts dealing with transportation, vehicles, etc. There are many more-specific concepts and relations than those shown here. A large number of specialized types of vehicles are omitted here.

#$TransportationEvent transported **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> A collection of events in which one or more objects transports one or more other objects; a subcollection of both #$Conveying-Generic and #$Translation-Complete. An instance of #$TransportationEvent is an event in which an object (in the role of #$transporter) aids in the translational movement of another object (having the role of #$transportees), so that both objects move together along the same complete pathway (see #$motionPathway-Complete). Optionally, one of these objects, or some third object moving along with them, provides the force to make the movement happen (see #$providerOfMotiveForce). Examples of transportation events include automobile transportation, riding a bicycle, dogs pulling goods on a sled, a wagon with groceries rolling down a hill, a person carrying clothes in a suitcase, etc. In that last case, note that the #$transporter is the suitcase, not the person. Things which are _not_ #$TransportationEvents include a river conveying some flotsam, the wind blowing a leaf, a conveyor belt moving a widget to the next person on the assembly line, or a walking beast of burden that is carrying nothing. The first three of these negative examples are instances of #$Conveying-Stationary, since the would-be #$transporter doesn't actually change its overall location (see #$conveyor-Stationary); in the fourth case the unburdened beast has no #$transportees.

#$TransportationDevice transportation devices

> A specialization of both #$Conveyance and #$PhysicalDevice. Each instance of #$TransportationDevice is an artifact designed to move an object from one location to another, by (for example) carrying, pulling, or pushing the transported object. Instances of this collection may or may not have their own power source (see #$SelfPoweredDevice). Those that do, such as automobiles and speedboats, constitute the specialization #$TransportationDevice-Vehicle. Other transportation devices (for example, instances of #$Wheelbarrow or #$Bicycle) require an external motive force. Because #$transporter and #$transportees are specializations of #$objectMoving, it follows that any object in the role of #$transporter moves as a whole with those objects playing the role of #$transportees. Consequently, since any instance of #$TransportationDevice has playing the role of #$transporter as its intended function, stationary objects which cause motion, such as conveyor belts, escalators, rocket launchers, and slingshots, are excluded from the collection #$TransportationDevice. Although they facilitate travel, ice skates, shoes, skis and other instances of #$WearableConveyance are also excluded from the collection #$TransportationDevice, since they are devices which are worn rather than ridden on, ridden with, or ridden in.

#$TransportationDevice-Vehicle vehicles **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> #$The collection of transportation devices that move under their own power; hence a specialization of both #$TransportationDevice and #$SelfPoweredDevice. Examples include jet airplanes and automobiles; non-examples include skateboards, gliders, and rowboats. Note that hand-pushed power lawnmowers, even though they are #$SelfPoweredDevices, are not instances of #$TransportationDevice-Vehicle because they are not their own #$providerOfMotiveForce when they move; but instances of #$LawnMower-Riding are vehicles.

#$Conveyance conveyances (solid objects) **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> A collection of concrete physical objects. Each instance of #$Conveyance is intended for moving partially tangible things --- it could be a car, ship, plane, or other vehicle for transporting people; it could be a conveyor belt or a grocery bag for moving goods; it could be a gun, a bow, or a cannon for launching projectiles. See also #$TransportationDevice which are objects that actually move along with the thing they are transporting, and #$Conveyance-Stationary where the object doing the moving remains stationary. See #$Conveying-Generic, #$TransportationEvent and #$Conveying-Stationary for the different kinds of conveying events. Some positive exemplars: a gun, a car, a horse. A wire can be considered to be a #$Conveyance, in those microtheories were #$Electricity, #$Signals, etc. are considered to be things that move.

#$transporter transporter (actor slot) **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$transporter MOVE OBJ) means that OBJ enables or facilitates the conveyance of the #$transportees in the #$TransportationEvent MOVE. OBJ is an #$objectMoving in MOVE that moves along with the #$transportees. OBJ will generally hold, support, contain, pull, or push the #$transportees throughout the MOVE #$Event. OBJ may or may not be the #$providerOfMotiveForce in the event MOVE. If OBJ stays with each #$primaryObjectMoving from the #$fromLocation to the #$toLocation, moving along the same trajectory, then it is also a #$primaryObjectMoving. If OBJ facilitates the motion of the #$primaryObjectMoving but does not itself engage in translational motion it is merely the conveyor of the action, and the role #$conveyor-Stationary should be asserted. If it is unclear whether the conveyor is stationary or not, the role #$conveyor-Generic is used. Specializations of the role #$transporter should be used when possible: although automobiles are #$transporters in many events, they should normally have the more specific role designation of #$vehicle because they are also #$SelfPoweredDevices. When a car is being towed by a towtruck, the car is just a #$transporter of any of its contents while the towtruck is the #$vehicle of that event. An additional role designation for some #$transporters -- those which are #$PhysicalDevices -- is #$deviceUsed; e.g., the use of crutches in hobbling or ice skates in skating. See the #$comment on #$TransportationEvent. Note that an organism may be a #$transportees in a #$Bicycle riding or #$Skating event as well as being the #$providerOfMotiveForce in such cases.

#$conveyor-Stationary stationary conveyer **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$conveyor-Stationary TRAN CONV) means that in the transportation event TRAN, CONV is a conveyor just like a #$transporter except it does not move together with the #$transportees along the path of the transportation. For example, a #$River can move a boat [#$Watercraft] from one location to another, and a #$ConveyorBelt can move some objects from one place to another, without itself moving translationally, i.e., the river does not change its location (although some pieces of #$Water in the river do) together with the boat, nor does the #$ConveyorBelt move with the objects on it from place to place (though some parts of it do).

#$vehicle vehicle (actor slot) **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$vehicle EVENT VEHICLE) means that VEHICLE is a #$TransportationDevice-Vehicle which is both the #$providerOfMotiveForce and the #$transporter in EVENT. If an object is a #$TransportationDevice-Vehicle and plays the role of #$transporter in some moving event, then it generally will play the role of #$vehicle in that event. Examples: a car plays the role of #$vehicle in driving. Note, however, that a bicycle does not play the role of #$vehicle in bike riding since it is not a provider of motive force. A borderline non-example is someone sitting in their car while it's being pulled by a towtruck; their car is not playing the role of #$vehicle in that event.

#$transportees transportee (actor slot) **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$transportees relates a translational motion event to the object(s) transported by a separate object, i.e. a distinctly separate other participant in the event. (#$transportees MOVE OBJ) means that some #$conveyor-Generic facilitates the conveyance of OBJ in MOVE. For example, in a dumptruck driving event, the dirt in the back of the truck is a #$transportees. Any humans in the truck cab (or truck bed) during the trip are also #$transportees; however, a more precise role designation for humans riding in the truck would be either #$passengers or (for the driver) #$driverActor. Borderline positive example #$transportees include the clothes worn by a person walking, or a horseshoe worn by a horse walking. A negative exemplar of a #$transportees is the ear of the person walking. This is because #$transporters do not transport their parts when they move. In other words, #$transporters only transport separate objects. #$translatesFromTo on the other hand, does apply to parts of #$transportees. Note also that parts of #$transportees are not necessarily #$transportees themselves. See also the comments on #$TransportationEvent and #$transporter.

#$passengers passenger (actor slot)

> (#$passengers MOVE PERSON) means that the instance of #$Person PERSON is a passenger in the instance of #$TransportationEvent MOVE. (#$passengers MOVE PERSON) implies (i) that PERSON is transported in MOVE, so that (#$transportees MOVE PERSON) also holds, and (ii) PERSON does not control the transporter in MOVE, or in any sub-event (see the predicate #$subEvents) of MOVE, so that (#$not (#$driverActor SUB-MOVE PERSON)) holds for any sub-event SUB-MOVE of MOVE.

#$fromLocation origin **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> This predicate is used to indicate the starting point of a particular movement from one place to another. (#$fromLocation MOVE LOC) means that LOC is where some salient moving-object (see #$objectMoving) in the #$Translocation MOVE is found at the beginning of MOVE and is where it begins this motion. This moving-object might or might not be #$Stationary at LOC at the beginning of MOVE. If MOVE is a single-pathway translation (see #$Translation-SingleTrajectory), then each of its salient moving-objects is found at LOC when MOVE starts. If MOVE has multiple movers and multiple pathways (see #$Translation-MultiTrajectory), then at least some of the moving-objects can be found at LOC when MOVE starts. If MOVE is a flow (such as a river flowing, a wind blowing, a tornado, a typhoon, some clouds moving, or air filling your lungs when you take a breath; see #$Translation-Flow), then at least some portion of the fluid moving-object can be found at LOC when MOVE starts. See also #$motionPathway-Complete and #$pathConnects.

#$toLocation destination (actor slot) **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$toLocation is used to indicate the ending point of a particular movement. (#$toLocation MOVE LOC) means that LOC is where the #$objectMoving in MOVE (a #$Movement-TranslationEvent) is found when the event MOVE ends; the final location of the #$objectMoving in that event is LOC. The #$objectMoving may or may not be #$Stationary at LOC. If MOVE is a single-pathway translation (see #$Translation-SingleTrajectory), then every #$objectMoving in it is found at LOC when MOVE ends. If MOVE has multiple movers and multiple pathways (see #$Translation-MultiTrajectory), then at least some of the #$objectMoving(s) can be found at LOC at the end of MOVE. If MOVE is a fluid flow (see #$Translation-Flow), then at least some portion of the fluid #$objectMoving can be found at location LOC at the end of MOVE. See also #$motionPathway-Complete, #$pathConnects.

#$origin-RoundTrip origin **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$origin-RoundTrip TRIP PLACE) means that the #$Translation-RoundTrip event TRIP leaves from and returns to the location PLACE. PLACE is both the #$fromLocation and #$toLocation of the entire TRIP, considered as a whole. For example, some commuters to Manhattan leave and return each day to #$Connecticut-State, which is their #$origin-RoundTrip. See also #$destination-RoundTrip.

#$TransportingPeople transportation of people

> A specialization of #$TransportationEvent. Each instance of #$TransportingPeople is a transportation event in which at least one instance of #$Person is among the main transportees (see the predicate #$transportees). Note that this collection excludes events in which people are merely conveyed (as, for example, by a moving sidewalk), rather than travelling with their transporting device. Note that the notion of 'transportees' is interpreted broadly: even the driver (#$driverActor) of the transportation device counts among the transportees.

#$Path-Generic generic paths

> A collection of things that are paths or can be considered paths. Each #$Path-Generic is either a a non-self-crossing path (see #$Path-Simple) or a cycle (see #$Path-Cyclic). A #$Path-Generic may be spatio-temporally abstract (e.g. links in Graph Theory; see #$Multigraph), spatially-located but intangible (e.g. a #$LatitudeLine might be used as a path in some system; see #$Path-Spatial and its specializations), or fully concrete (such as a road, railroad, sea-lane, cowpath, pipe, blood vessel, fiber, or wire; see #$Path-Customary and #$PathArtifact). #$Path-Generic includes anything that is used as a path in some #$PathSystem (q.v.). If a #$Path-Generic is a #$Path-Customary, then it might or might not have a specified #$PathSystem in which it is a path; if the #$Path-Generic is not a #$Path-Customary, then it can only be a path in some given #$PathSystem. For example, an orange is not a customary path, but it can be a path for ants in a specified ant path system. For any #$Path-Generic, there can be a #$Traversal (q.v.) of something moving along the entirety of that path (and a single #$Traversal can cross itself, double back along itself, or go back and forth along some part of a #$Path-Generic any number of times.) Note that #$Path-Generic is _not_ a subcollection of #$Individual, because there is nothing in principle to prevent a mathematical set or a collection from being used as a path in some path system. For similar reasons, few if any (non-empty) collections or sets can definitively be considered disjoint with #$Path-Generic.

Each instance of #$Path-Simple is a path with two distinct ends that do not 'overlap' each other (in the case of spatial paths, the two ends are spatially disjoint). Since no instance of #$Path-Simple has ends that join at one point, #$Path-Simple is disjoint with #$Path-Cyclic. Although instances of #$Path-Simple have distinct ends, some instances may have more than two things that are its 'end-points'. For example, a path between Austin and Pittsburgh can also be a path between Texas and Pennsylvania. Notable specializations of #$Path-Simple include #$Pipe-GenericConduit, #$Nerve, and #$Stream.

Both X and Y have to be on PATH (see #$pointOnPath). Note that (#$pathBetween PATH X Y) is more specific than (#$pathConnects PATH X Y) because here the PATH cannot extend beyond X and Y. Within a particular #$PathSystem, a path's end points in the system are unique, and #$pathBetweenInSystem (q.v.) is restricted to paths and points in the system. When considered without a context of a path system, a path may have several different places at one end, such as Austin and Texas both being at the same end of some path along Highway I-35.

#$motionPathway-Complete path cospatial with the path of motion **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> This predicate can be used to indicate that the trajectory or trajectories travelled by one or more objects during a movement event follow some spatial path throughout the entire movement. More formally, if MOVE is an instance of #$Translation-SingleTrajectory, (#$motionPathway-Complete MOVE PATH) means that the instance PATH of #$Path-Spatial contains the entire instance of #$Trajectory along which the objects moving (see #$objectMoving) travel in MOVE. Note that there can be at most one #$motionPathway-Complete in this case. If MOVE is an instance of #$Translation-MultiTrajectory, (#$motionPathway-Complete MOVE PATH) means that the instance PATH of #$Path-Spatial contains the entire instance of #$Trajectory along which at least one of the objects moving in MOVE travels. In this case, more than one #$motionPathway-Complete may exist. (Note that the instance of #$Traversal determined by the #$trajectory-Complete need not occupy the whole length of PATH.) To explain this predicate somewhat differently, any #$motionPathway-Complete of an instance of #$Movement-TranslationEvent connects the starting and stopping points (the #$fromLocation and #$toLocation) of the whole trajectory of at least one object in the movement event (See also #$pathConnects). Note that PATH may be a marked or unmarked instance of #$Path-Spatial. See also #$trajectoryPassesThrough and #$motionPathway-Partial.

More formally, (#$motionPathway-Partial MOVE PATH) means that the instance MOVE of #$Movement-TranslationEvent has a trajectory (see #$trajectory-Complete) with a sub-trajectory in common with some #$subPaths of the instance PATH of #$Path-Spatial. For example, if a certain trip to Dallas from Austin is via highway I-35, this does not imply either that the whole journey is along I-35 (it also may be along driveways and side streets), or that it is along all of I-35 (which would take you from the Mexican border all the way to the Canadian border). A part of the journey is along a part of I-35. Contrast this predicate with #$motionPathway-Complete, which indicates the relation between a movement MOVE and an instance of #$Path-Spatial followed throughout all of MOVE.

#$Translation-SingleTrajectory translation (movement from one place to another) **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> A subcollection of #$Movement-TranslationEvent. Each instance of #$Translation-SingleTrajectory is a translational movement which involves exactly one #$trajectory-Complete. One or more items may have the role of #$objectMoving in such an event. Note that although there is a single #$trajectory-Complete, it does not follow that there is a unique #$fromLocation and a unique #$toLocation because that depends on our descriptions of locations. (A single-trajectory movement can be described as from TX to PA, or from Austin to Pittsburgh, or even from northwest Austin to south Pittsburgh.) However, the single #$trajectory-Complete connects one #$fromLocation and one #$toLocation. (Similarly, there may be a single existing #$motionPathway-Complete that the trajectory goes along, or a single #$Traversal of paths indicated by #$traverses-Complete.) Note that a translational motion performed by a whole #$Group is likely to be a #$Translation-SingleTrajectory; e.g. a flock of birds flying together or a snarl of rush-hour traffic on the Beltway.
