Abstract:Manpower transportation,vehicle transportation and aerial ropeway transportation are common transportation modes of transmission line engineering. By calculating and comparing the costs of those three transportation modes,the cost of vehicle transportation is the lowest,the cost of manpower transportation is lower than aerial ropeway transportation under flat terrain and hilly terrain,and it is necessary to determine more economical transportation mode under mountainous terrain according to transportation distance and transportation weight. In addition,the choice of transportation modes should be combined with the actual situation of the project,the damage extent to the environment,the construction period,the cost of building roads and the expenses of compensation etc.
