Fundamental Units
Relationship between primary units, expressed in composite terms is called ‘Fundamental units’.
The fundamental units express two primary ideas in their relationship to one another viz.
  	Tonne-kms,
  	Passenger kilometres,
  	Train-kilometres,
 	Wagon-kilometres,
  	Engine hours,
 	Wagon days etc.

<!-- Slide number: 7 -->

Derived Units

 Expresses relationship that exists between two sets of primary or fundamental units. The results thus arrived is termed ‘Derived Units’.
The process by which this relationship ascertained is in following examples.
(a)	Passenger earning (Primary): Passenger carried (Primary = Earning per passenger
(b)	Passenger earning (Primary): Passenger kilometres (fundamental) = Earning per passenger kilometre.

<!-- Slide number: 8 -->

# Derived Units
(c)	Passenger kilometer (fundamental): Number of passenger (Primary) = Average distance travelled by a passenger also called lead of passenger traffic.
(d)	Wagon kilometres (fundamental): Wagon days (fundamental) = Wagon kilometres per wagon day.
These ‘Derived Units’ highlight special features of transportation output and are useful in evolving suitable management strategies.
