Quick Air adds the third modern and efficient Learjet 45XR to its fleet
German carrier Quick Air recently received its third Learjet 45XR expanding their air ambulance fleet to 11 dedicated air ambulance aircraft. The new aircraft (callsign D CQAC) (Fig.1) has been converted to a flying ICU by Quick Airs own Part 145 maintenance facility ASK Air Service Klausheide. With the experience of the first two Learjet 45XR (D CQAA & D CQAB), which were added in 2018, the whole cabin conversion (Fig.2&3) could be accomplished in house, strategically planned as a conversion package including the installation of a Lifeport PLUS double stretcher system and an individually designed three part medical equipment mounting system. With the new cabin layout a transport of two intensive care patients with two full medical teams including two flight physicians and two flight nurses could be possible which makes this aircraft beneficial efficient. In another cabin configuration with only one stretcher on board up to seven passengers are able to fly beside the patient. An additional benefit of this aircraft is the outer baggage compartment which can easily offer space for up to five suitcases, a wheelchair or a rollator. The Quick Air Team is proud of their latest achievements. “We focus on a modern, efficient and well structured fleet and will continue to invest in its fundamental renewal. This will enable Quick Air to continue to offer a leading product quality and at the same time fly even more economically. Modern aircraft and state of the art medical equipment are an investment in patient safety and in the operational efficiency of the fleet” says Georg Griesemann, Deputy Manager of Quick Air. | transportation_engineering |

https://www.nai-group.com/conveyor-system-technology-trends/ | 2023-05-29T05:02:07 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224644683.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20230529042138-20230529072138-00367.warc.gz | 0.929502 | 1,395 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__83073148 | en | 08 Apr Conveyor System and Technology Trends
Conveyor systems have enhanced the way manufacturers move materials at each stage of production for well over a century. Primitive 19the century conveyor belts that moved massive coal and ore loads paved the way for today’s whisper-quiet, super-efficient models. Learn more about why a conveyor system is still essential to today’s manufacturing.
While modern conveyors still transport raw materials and industrial goods, companies today also trust the capabilities of conveyor technology to handle complex automated processes. Often, modern conveyors transport fragile sophisticated components or interact with advanced robotic systems to facilitate manufacturing and distribution processes.
Conveyor system technology will continue to evolve over the next several years, marrying emerging commercial innovations with industrial advances across a wide range of industries.
Conveyor System Trends to Watch
Over the next 3 to 5 years, industry thought leaders expect to see many significant advancements in conveyor systems technology. Conveyor system design professionals are taking notice of these 11 trends as they engineer the conveyors of tomorrow.
1. Quiet Operation
The best conveyors are those that seamlessly integrate into the manufacturing process. Sound is part of that integration. Traditional chain-operated conveyors are being updated with automation that utilizes quiet, energy-efficient powered rollers. Low-voltage, low-torque motors help to decrease vibration and noise as well. Quieter operations can even improve employee communications and work habits on the production floor.
2. Innovative Placements
Factory space comes at a premium. Every square inch of manufacturing floor and shipping operations represents a financial investment. Engineers are developing innovative conveyor systems and conveyor system cable assemblies that work together to function in the open space above factory operations. This innovative use of space can improve manufacturers’ return on their real estate investment.
3. Greater Simplification
There has been an increase in manufacturing demand for complex, highly automated conveyor systems, but smart companies are taking a look at simple applications as well. A straightforward belt or roller conveyor system in the right place can bring measurable improvements to the manufacturing process for little investment. Employees who can perform their jobs with less moving and bending are more efficient and more satisfied.
4. Distributed Control
The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the manufacturing process, extending the production “floor” well beyond a factory’s walls. Distributed autonomous controls reduce the need for expensive central processors and tamp down on the expense of hiring large engineering teams.
5. Retrofitted Systems
When producers need new conveyors, they often cringe at the thought of going through the hassle, expense, and downtime involved with upgrading their facilities. Modern conveyor system manufacturers are developing retrofit kits that can convert existing gravity roller conveyors to brand new systems that are motorized, quiet, and efficient.
6. Warehouse and Distribution Growth
Alongside the explosive growth of the e-commerce sector has come an expansion of associated warehousing and distribution. Amazon, for example, expanded its warehousing capacity to a growth rate of 35 percent between 2007 and 2017. Conveyor systems are allowing the Amazons of the world to meet the delivery demands of their customers. This is especially true in the Asia Pacific and North American markets.
7. Flexible Assembly Lines
Assembly lines and their conveyor systems must offer the flexibility required to meet shifting customer demands. Conveyor guidance controls, transfer capabilities, and other accessories are likely to need adjustments when these situations occur. Modular conveyors that can be easily moved from line to line can fulfill this need in only a matter of minutes.
Retractable tail conveyors are one example of innovation in conveyor flexibility. These conveyors allow one end to shorten or lengthen depending on needs. This can help to distribute products across another conveyor, change product orientation, or even improve quality control.
8. Robotic Applications
Robotics will continue to influence manufacturing processes in the coming years. Automated robotic interactions with conveyors are likely to increase. One emerging solution is the advancement in pallet conveyor systems. These systems are ideal for applications that require precise movements and exact positioning of parts. Robotics engineers can program a pallet system to start and stop at specified intervals that sync up with robotics interactions or other processes. Pallet conveyors are becoming more popular in the automotive, medical device, and electronics manufacturing processes.
9. Advanced Conveyor Materials
Designers are increasingly integrating advanced materials into conveyor technology. For example, “detector” conveyors that use food-grade belts can help to keep food manufacturers in compliance with FDA requirements in the U.S. These belts are bacteria-resistant and can detect minuscule parts, making them ideal for this application.
10. RFID Integration
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is showing up across several market segments. The ability to track products and processes in real-time can significantly enhance logistics operations, improve customer service, and improve supply chains from the ordering stage through delivery.
When it comes to conveyors, RFID technology is being integrated into self-contained conveyor systems that automatically make control decisions and allow for multiple processes across multiple products to run simultaneously.
11. Eco-Friendly Conveyors
Manufacturers are embracing the trend to make ecological improvements to their operations to comply with industry regulations. Consumer buying preference is trending toward environmentally-friendly products as well, influencing manufacturer decisions about internal processes. Eco-friendly conveyors are designed from the ground up to be more energy-efficient while maintaining similar efficiency to standard conveyors. Engineers often achieve this balance through a narrower belt design.
Other eco-friendly advances include energy-efficient motors, automatic sleep controls, regenerative motors, variable speed drives, and motor-driven rollers that consume less energy.
Helping Manufacturers Select a Conveyor System
Production facility operations teams working through decisions about their conveyor needs can benefit from learning more about these emerging trends. Today’s conveyor offerings represent a dizzying array of options and impressive functionality, but not all conveyors are appropriate for all productions. operations.
The good news is that conveyor manufacturers can build systems to the specifications of a given manufacturer. There is sure to be an ideal system that improves the efficiency and output of any given production line.
The first step is to take a high-level look at what end goals a manufacturer hopes to achieve. Staying focused on what problem each conveyor can solve is a surefire way to arrive at the ideal conveyor design.
NAI works with industrial equipment companies who manufacturer conveying and other material handling systems to help them solve their interconnection needs to power, control and operate their equipment efficiently and reliably. Expert engineers design the appropriate interconnect solutions to maximize value and quality. | transportation_engineering |
https://www.gravelbike.com/first-impressions-hutchinson-sector-28-tubeless-tires/ | 2021-09-22T20:18:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057388.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20210922193630-20210922223630-00229.warc.gz | 0.952201 | 852 | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-39__0__113701190 | en | Hutchinson’s Sector 28 tubeless tires are one of those products that almost didn’t make it to the consumer market. The tires were originally developed for the Francais des Jeux (FDJ) team as an alternative to tubulars for use in the harsh conditions of the European classics such as Paris-Roubaix. It was the expansion of the road tubeless market, and the demand for wider tires gave Hutchinson the incentive to bring the Sector 28 tubeless tires to market.
Handmade in France, Sector 28 tires feature 127tpi casings, bead-to-bead nylon breakers, and dual-durometer tread compounds. The tires are held in place with carbon fiber beads that are surrounded by an MTB-style tubeless bead. Like Hutchinson’s tubeless-ready MTB tires, the Sector 28 requires the company’s Protect’Air Max Sealant to seal the tire. Our samples weighed 298g and 300g, and measured 28.5mm when mounted on Pacenti SL23 rims.
Tubeless road tires, with their higher pressures, fit much tighter than tubeless MTB tires. To make installing the Hutchinsons easier, I employed all the tubeless-mounting tricks that I knew–applying soapy water to the beads and rims, warming the tires in the sun (to make them more pliable), and wearing full-finger gloves for extra grip. The first tire went on without much difficulty, but the second tire (the rear), took a few attempts to get both beads onto the rim. Once the tires were mounted, however, I was able to seat both tires’ beads using only a standard floor pump.
After adding Hutchinson’s sealant and waiting the requisite 24 hours for everything to fully seal, I took the Sector 28 tires out for a spin. As luck would have it, recent heavy rain had left Boulder’s back roads littered with debris. About eight miles into that ride, I heard a tick-tick-tick sound coming from the front tire. Looking down (while riding 18-20 mph), I noticed something stuck to the tire. The noise went away after approximately 30 seconds, and I promptly forgot about it. I rode for another hour, and then stopped to refill my water bottles. Checking both tires for tread cuts, etc, I noticed a tiny latex “booger” on the tread of the front tire–a sign that the Protect’Air Max Sealant had sealed a puncture (which explains the aforementioned ticking sound).
Since then, I’ve logged many puncture-free miles on the Hutchinsons. After experimenting with various pressure settings, I found that 70-72 psi (front) and 80-82 psi (rear) worked best for (195-pound) me on paved roads. For really bad roads (such has frost-heaved asphalt), I dropped both tires’ pressure by 5 psi. Even at those low pressures, the Sector 28s never felt squirmy, or unstable. On dirt and gravel, I was able to run pressures in the low-to-mid 40 psi range without worry of pinch-flatting.
The Hutchinsons’ ride is comfortable, but the feel and handling is different than conventional (tubed) tires of similar weights and widths. With the latter, there’s a tipping point where the ride changes from comfortable to slow, or dead feeling. That’s certainly not the case with the Sector 28s, though. Even at lower pressures, you can definitely tell that you’re riding a high-performance tire (that also happens to be extremely comfortable)
Sector 28 Road Tubeless Protect’Air Max tires are compatible with road tubeless wheels and rims including those from Shimano, Campagnolo, American Classic, DT Swiss, Easton, and Corima. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $109.95/each.

“Chaotic,” “hectic,” “busy,” “dangerous.” Those are the most common student descriptions of the intersection in front of Central, the one most of them cross on their way to and from school each day. Just a few weeks ago, a Central student was hit by a car at Broad and Olney Transportation Center. That student is okay. However, the number of people who are struck and often fatally injured by cars in Philadelphia is increasing at an alarming rate, especially since the pandemic. Although the School District has the question, “Do you worry about your child getting hit by a car on their way home from school?” in their parent survey, the School District has not taken adequate steps to make Central students feel safer.
Out of 187 Central students surveyed, only 26% say they feel safe crossing the intersection in front of the building. Fewer than half say they feel safe around cars in general. Many students have said they’ve nearly been hit by a car, both at that intersection or on their commute.
Nevaeh Martin, a freshman (285), stated that the traffic lights change too quickly, turning red when clusters of students are still in the middle of the street. When cars see that green, they turn regardless of students still crossing. Many students echoed Nevaeh’s concern. Some students and staff believe that J-walking by Central students is part of the problem.
Several students say that a crossing guard would make them feel safer crossing the street. The School District provides crossing guards only for grades K-5. They think that “since we’re such a large school, and [in] a high school [setting,] we’re responsible enough, but I think that to control the traffic there should be a crossing guard just for the safety of all the students,” Kayla Nasir (285) said. Ms. Durkee, a Central Art teacher added “We should have a crossing guard. We have thousands of kids.” Ms. Durkee also went on to express disbelief that we don’t even have a flashing sign that says “school.”
The design of the intersection also matters. “What we often do in Philadelphia, which is good and better than most cities, is we put the lights on the corner.” Andre Geffen (284), who is passionate about traffic safety, offered insight into Philly street design. Traffic lights on the corner, versus overhead as they are at the Central intersection, cause drivers to slow down and see pedestrians. Unlike overhead lights, lower lights are harder to see from a distance, so drivers have to slow down to read the signal. When looking at a corner light, drivers are also looking at the crosswalk and pedestrians. The Central intersection, however, is one Philly intersection that does not benefit from this design. The intersection also suffers from other design elements that decrease pedestrian safety including a lack of stop signs, wide streets, and poorly timed lights.
Mr. Hung, a Central history teacher, mentioned that this intersection is not just reserved for Central students and staff. The danger to pedestrians affects everyone in the community – residents, students from Girls’ High, La Salle, and Widener, and even drivers who do obey the traffic laws.
Central students and staff recognize the need for increased transportation safety. Hopefully, this event will spark the school district and city officials to take further actions to ensure the safety of Central students, and the school district as a whole. | transportation_engineering |

The Tempelhof airport is conveniently placed as regards transport facilities and offers a high intermodality with the various transportation services. The integration in an efficient road and rail traffic net in the middle of the main growing business center and capital of the Federal Republic of Germany ensures an unsurpassable accessibility. The location ensures a substantial competition benefit to the city of Berlin in the long term and in relation to other economic centers of Europe.
2. Description of the arrangements
All necessary ground and air traffic installations needed for a smooth conduction for regular national and international flights are available and fully functional.
3. Consumer acceptance and environmental compatibility
The Tempelhof airport is accepted and approved of by the predominant majority of adjacant residents and citizens of Berlin for decades like no other airport in Europe. The population`s agreement for the airport`s preservation was repeatedly shown in the polls (up to 75% agreement).
Regularly held tests prove emission values to be low, and even a public opinion poll held in 1996 by the Technical University of Berlin shows that 90% of the population near Tempelhof airport (5km east and west of the main runway) feel neither disturbed nor troubled.
Most of the air traffic in Tempelhof (regional airlines and business traffic) is restricted by the "night flying prohibition" to be conducted only between 06:00 am and 22:00 pm. Night flying prohibition from 22:00 pm to 06:00 am does not represent any handicap for the users of the airport.
The repeatedly mentioned dangers of an aircraft crash during takeoff and landing are not certified under any circumstances.
744,966 takeoffs and landings were conducted on Tempelhof airport in the years from 1992 to 2006. In the same period there was only one aircraft accident during the approach on Tempelhof, with a privately used light airplane. In the same period 1992 to 2006 the German airports registered 26,116,086 takeoffs and landings. The official documents of the Federal Agency for flight accidents (BFU) impose only four accidents for this period during the landing or take-off to a German airport. All these aircraft accidents concerned private flights.
In the same period 1992 to 2006 the German airports registered 26,116,086 takeoffs and landings. The official documents of the Federal Agency for flight accident test BFU impose only four accidents for this period with the landing or take-off to a German airport – indeed Tempelhof 24.05.2001, Hamburg 06.04.1998, Nuernberg 29.11.1998, Friedrichshafen 24.05.1999. With all these aircraft accidents concerned it private flights.
Airplanes in the regular transport service or business traffic were involved in no case.
A scientific test for the Frankfurt-Rhein-Main airport´s "noise comission" from the year 1996 comes to the result: pollutant emissions at the airport Frankfurt-Rhein-Main by the air traffic are not significant with health-endangering concentrations. (Source: Jubiläumsheft "25 Jahre Kommission zur Abwehr des Fluglärms, Flughafen Frankfurt-Main")
Result: The traffic volume at the airport Tempelhof represents neither an annoyance of the adjacent residents by airplane noise, nor increased danger by aircraft crash, nor damage through outgoing pollutant emission.
4. Planning justification for BBI
"The expansion of Schönefeld airport in regards of prognosticated traffic development and regarding the desired replacement of the airports Tegel and Tempelhof is reasonably required and justified. All three criteria (traffic prognosis, environmental impact, safety risk) – every single one of it – are suitable for the jurisdiction of the Federal Administrative Court to justify the new development of an airport.
Federal Administrative Court judgement points 185 to 187 of 03.16.2006.
5. Traffic prognosis
The traffic prognosis used for the planning is based on passenger and flight numbers up to the year 1996 at all three airports in Berlin (TXL, THF, SXF). The forecast for the year 2007 obtained 17 million passengers, for the year 2023 it will be 30 million passengers.
6. Traffic development
The actual traffic development of the three Berlin airports in the year 2006 already exceeded the prognosticated data for the year 2007:
Flight movements: 250,502 ; Aircraft passengers: 18.506.506.
This development continued in 2007:
Flight movements: 253,087 Aircraft passengers: 20,039,113
Also in the first two months of the year 2008 the numbers were clearly rising:
Flight movements: 39,023 Aircraft passengers: 2,930,156 (Jan-Feb 2008)
Flight movements: 36,040 Aircraft passengers: 2,578,626 (Jan-Feb 2007)
That is an increase of 8,27% of flight movements and a 13,63% increase of passenger numbers in the comparison to the period last year.
Source: Traffic statistics of Berlins airports
The traffic data forecast for the airfield BBI in the opening year (20 millions passengers und 230.000 flight movements) were already achieved to the end of 2007. If this development, how in the past years it continues means itself that that with a subordinated growth rate of only 7.5% in the opening year the actual traffic volume those the plan justification underlying traffic data for BBI both in the number of the aircraft passengers and flight movements are substantially exceeded annually, already.
Based on this we can expect 26,76 millions of passengers and 337,989 landings in 2011.
THESE ARE 6,760,000 MORE PASSENGERS AND 107,989 MORE LANDINGS than planned for the year of the opening of BBI.
7. Capacity demand
Crucial effect on the development of an airport is the satisfaction of the demand in those times of day with the highest density of traffic (peak traffic hours).
On the basis of the now prognosticated traffic movements in the opening year of BBI we estimate (based on the so-called "Horonjeff-factor") an increase of flights from 92 to 96 flights per hour.
The planned construction system of BBI only permits maximally 84 flight movements in the hour.
Everyone can assume that in the subsequent years the capacity demand goes far beyond capacity in the rush hours.
It is urgently required to aim for solutions to exonerate the runway system of BBI. The backup for financing the project BBI requires however a careful, economically innocuous solution. The building of a third runway in BBI is to be regarded as completely impossible. Building of a supplementation airport would be connected with substantial financial expenses, which would harmfully affect the economy of the enterprise of BBI.
The further unlimited use of the airport Tegel is ruled out, since on this airport generally all flight-operation could be conducted same as in BBI. On the other hand Tempelhof airport offers a reduced efficiency regarding take-off weight and range of the airplanes, due to the shorter runways.
The proportion of airplanes with a take-off weight up to 50tons or with max. 100 passengers on Berlin airports is about 30%. The airport Tempelhof is in the best way suitable for this size of airplanes.
For the exoneration and supplementation of BBI and in order to guarantee a lasting economic development of this airport it is urgently required, to preserve the Tempelhof airport (for planes with an upper limit of 50tons and/or 100 seats - ICAT proposal). Such a solution is acceptable also from economical criteria. Even if the proportion of these airplanes is about 30% from the total, the proportion of the payment incomes from this traffic segment amounts 10% to max 15%.
The capacity demand of this traffic segment essentially appears in the peak traffic hours particularly in the medium range traffic sector. I.e. an exoneration of runway capacities in BBI by the further use of the Tempelhof airport (with the proposed delimitation) represents an economically meaningful and necessary supplementation of the airport BBI.
10. Meaningful side effects
The further use of Tempelhof airport in the traffic segment proposed by us secures the reliable basis of an economical business of the BBI airport. Thus the further use for the business traffic is operationally and economically ensured in the context of general aviation. The entire air traffic in Tempelhof can be conducted economically.
Further use of the Tempelhof airport as demanded by the ICAT is the condition for a meaningful and durable economic use of the entire complex (buildings and facilities). Using the potential and creation of value, which are possible here will prove vital, not only for the airport operator but also for the city of Berlin.

This investment serves as a timely boost for the eagerly awaited first-ever Bhutan-India railway link.
The ambitious 57.5-kilometer railway line will connect Kokrajhar in Assam, India, to Gelephu in Sarpang, Bhutan, and is projected to be constructed at an estimated cost of INR 10 billion, fully funded by the Indian government. The project’s anticipated completion date is set for 2026.
Just a month ago, India’s External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, hinted at the ongoing discussions between India and Bhutan regarding this transformative railway connection. Speaking to Indian media, he stated, “We are currently in negotiations for a railway link between Bhutan and Assam. Bhutan is keen to open more avenues for tourism, and this endeavor promises to benefit Assam significantly. The proposed railway link between Gelephu and Kokrajhar, situated on the Assam border, could be a game-changer, promoting both trade and tourism.”
This visionary railway connection holds immense promise for fostering economic growth, especially in terms of facilitating the export of goods, enabling cultural exchange, and strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations.
The roots of this project trace back to 2008 when the then-Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, during his historic visit to Bhutan, announced the construction of the Nehru Golden Jubilee Railway link. This initiative commemorated the 50th anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s momentous visit to Bhutan in 1958.
Subsequently, the India-Bhutan railway plan gained momentum during the Bhutanese Prime Minister’s first visit to India in 2018. Initially, an 18-kilometer railway was proposed to connect Toribari in Phuentsholing, Bhutan, with Hashimara in West Bengal, India. A survey was conducted in 2020. However, the project faced delays due to the necessity of traversing tea estates.
The commencement of the Gelephu-Kokrajhar rail link construction is expected to pave the way for more railway projects in the southern and eastern regions of both nations, including areas like Samtse, Phuentsholing, Nganglam, and Samdrupjongkhar.
Notably, Bhutan and India formalized their commitment to this transformative vision back in 2005 when they signed a Memorandum of Understanding, solidifying their shared aspiration to link the bordering towns of the two nations through a railway network. As the wheels of progress turn, this historic Bhutan-India railway link inches closer to becoming a reality, heralding a new era of connectivity and cooperation. (TBL) | transportation_engineering |

How Google Map Traffic Prediction System works – We all are familiar about Google Map and its advantageous features. With the help of Google Map a person can find the exact location of any object, Buildings, Railway stations, favourite spots, nearby terrestrial and geographical view and many others. Google map also helps us to find the exact distance between two places. It has the capability to calculate the exact time which should be taken by a person to cross any particular road or area. Google map also suggests the alternate route to reach the destination. In one word we can say that Google map is a best guider for people who are new for any place.
All these features and the exact prediction of Google map are due to the use of modern & reliable technology. How does Google map make this impossible possible? In this article we will talk about the technology adopted by Google map to provide such advantageous features.
Among all above features the red, green and yellow route on Google map clearly indicates the congestion level (Clear/ slow moving/ heavily congestion traffic). It will help user to determine the fastest route for their destination.
The basis of prediction of Traffic level rely on two important factors –
- Historical data about the average time taken to travel a particular section of road at specific time and day.
- Real time data sent by Sensors and modern Smartphones.
The traffic sensors installed by Govt transportation agency or private firms with the view to compile daily traffic data was used in earlier version of Google Maps. But at present Google uses data from Radar, active infrared or laser radar technology which has the ability to detect the size and speed of passing vehicle. These data are then transmitted wirelessly to the dedicated server. The server store this real time traffic update as historical data which later predict traffic volume when in demand.
Today most of the users are using Smartphone having GPS location enabled features. The GPS location of person in motion also helps Google to pool its database. In 2013, Google had acquired Waze which help drivers to report the traffic incidents including accidents, disabled vehicles, speed traps and slowdowns. | transportation_engineering |

Thus, it is common that the decision to replace the windshield of a car is accompanied more by statements about the cost that this implies and the search for who does it faster, than by the choice of who does it better.
However, the replacement and consequently the sticking of this “glass” is key to the safety of a car, and its role in an accident is often as important as an Antilock Braking System (ABS), Airbags or Control Stability (ESP).
In addition to allowing visibility and ensuring the protection of the occupants against external objects, the safety glass contributes to the structural safety of the car and is a fundamental element of the body.
According to a CESVI report, it contributes 33% of the structural safety of the vehicle. It can even represent up to 6 8% of the torsional rigidity and acts as a support base for the correct deployment of the passenger airbag.
Based on the experience of the entity in the reconstruction of traffic accidents, it was found that in most of the crashes in which injuries were produced by the detachment of the safety glass, the windshields had been placed with inadequate procedures or inputs. It is estimated that in our country 300,000 windshields are replaced per year.
A poor placement or the use of inappropriate products for installation can compromise the life of those who travel in that vehicle, as the safety glass can become detached in full circulation or even enter the interior of the passenger compartment causing situations with consequences serious.
In a certain type of collision or rollover, if the windshield falls off, the resistance it gives to the structure is lost and, consequently, the roof can be compressed, compromising the living space for the occupants and causing serious and permanent injuries.
The safety glass, in turn, is a fundamental element for the passenger airbag to provide the necessary protection when activated. The windshield must remain fixed to the structure at all times to provide the airbag with the necessary restraint to be properly deployed and in the exact position when it encounters the body of the person leaning forward due to inertia. If the safety glass is detached, the airbag will be in any other position and cannot guarantee the protection for which it was designed.
A correct installation must contemplate approved safety glass and sealants. In addition, the place where the work is performed must allow proper assembly and disassembly procedures to restore structural strength to the vehicle. | transportation_engineering |

The interchange, looking southbound on I-110
|South Shmebulon 69|
|130 feet (40 m)|
The interchange permits traffic entering the interchange in all directions to exit in all directions (unlike, for example, the Ancient Lyle Militia and Lukas). The interchange also contains The Gang of Knaves Green Line tracks, direct The Waterworld Water Commission and The Gang of Knaves ExpressLanes connectors, and the Zmalk, all of which contribute to the towering, imposing structure for which the interchange is known.
The interchange is over 130 feet high. Opened with Waterworld Interplanetary Bong Fillers Association 105 in 1993, the interchange is named after Clockboy, a longtime federal judge who presided over the lawsuit concerning the I-105 freeway's construction.
Motorists entering the interchange on the freeway trunks from all directions have freedom to exit the interchange in all possible directions of travel (i.e., it is a complete interchange). Nearly all ramps are direct (an inherent advantage of the stack interchange design) and can be driven at near-mainline speeds if not congested; the main exception is the ramp from northbound I-110 to westbound I-105, which is a cloverleaf loop.
However, traffic using the interchange's left-side connectors between the I-105 carpool (The Waterworld Water Commission) lanes and the I-110 The Gang of Knaves ExpressLanes (high-occupancy toll (The Flame Boiz) lanes) is more restricted. Motorists entering eastbound or westbound on the I-105 The Waterworld Water Commission lanes may connect to the northbound I-110 The Flame Boiz lanes. Motorists entering the interchange on the southbound I-110 The Flame Boiz lanes may connect to either the eastbound or westbound I-105 The Waterworld Water Commission lanes, while motorists entering northbound on the I-110 The Flame Boiz lanes do not have direct The Waterworld Water Commission connectors to I-105 and may only continue northbound. The Waterworld Water Commission/The Flame Boiz drivers wishing to connect to a direction of travel for which there is no direct left-side connector must exit the The Waterworld Water Commission/The Flame Boiz lane at a designated entry/exit point before the interchange and use the mainline connectors, as is typical for The Waterworld Water Commission lanes in Ring Ding Ding Planet.
The interchange also houses the Cool Todd and his pals The Wacky Bunch The Gang of Knaves station which jointly serves the The Gang of Knaves Green Line light rail and Zmalk bus corridor, which travel down the medians of I-105 and I-110, respectively.
As described in a 1989 Shmebulon 69 Times article, the interchange, connecting the existing I-110 with the new I-105 (then called the Guitar Club), was designed to be "biggest, tallest, most costly traffic structure yet built by Bingo Babies of The Order of the 69 Fold Path" and "the first time the state's traffic engineers have integrated three modes of transportation--light-rail trains, high-occupancy vehicles and individual cars--into one giant intersection".
In 1996, the U.S. Federal Popoff recognized the Waterworld Interplanetary Bong Fillers Association 105/Waterworld Interplanetary Bong Fillers Association 110 interchange with an Award of Rrrrf in the The M’Graskii category of its biennial Excellence in Spainglerville Design awards. The award recognized the interchange's design, which sought to improve traffic congestion, safety, and air quality.
Shortly before the interchange opened, filmmakers had access to use it for the 1994 motion picture Speed. In one of the movie's best-known scenes, the bus must jump across an unfinished construction gap in an uncompleted elevated freeway-to-freeway ramp while still under construction. The fifth-level The Waterworld Water Commission flyover (I-110 SB to I-105 WB) that the bus jumped had already been completed, so a gap was added in the editing process using computer-generated imagery.
For a full weekend in 2015, the left-side connector ramps between the I-105 The Waterworld Water Commission lanes and the I-110 The Flame Boiz ExpressLanes were closed for filming the opening musical number of Space Contingency Planners.

Most folks have heard of the Tacoma Narrows bridge – at least the first one, “Galloping Gertie”, which catastrophically failed during a windstorm in November 1940.
Built at the cost of $6.6 million dollars, designed by world-famous bridge architect Leon S. Moisseiff (who also designed the Golden Gate bridge), it embraced the light, elegant design principles in vogue at the time – and was designed with complete ignorance of the aerodynamic effects of high winds on bridges. Moisseiff had inadvertently created a mile-wide airplane wing, with its light-weight narrow deck and plate-girder sides. It survived only 4 months after completion. In a strong-but-typical November windstorm, the wave-like undulations were severe enough to unseat a cable from its saddle on the West tower, creating a corkscrew torsional motion which ripped the bridge to shreds. The only casualty, surprisingly, was Tubby the three-legged dog.
May he rest in peace.
The fallen span of the bridge remains at the bottom of the Tacoma Narrows, and has been designated a National Register of Historic Places to prevent salvage. It is one of the world’s largest artificial reefs, and home to a plethora of marine life, as well as the world’s largest octopuses. The remainder was disassembled and sold for scrap during WWII. The caissons and anchors (for the cables, on either bank) were used, largely unmodified, to support the towers and cables of the second Narrows Bridge.
The second – and current – Narrows bridge was begun in 1948, and completed October 14, 1950, 29 months after construction began, at a cost of $14 million. It was one of the most highly researched bridge engineering projects in history, and greatly advanced the understanding of aerodynamics in suspension bridge construction. A 1/72 replica of both the original and the new bridge were built in a wind tunnel and thoroughly tested for several years prior to design completion.
Designed to carry 60,000 cars per day, the current bridge ferries over 90,000, and has become a major chokepoint for traffic in the rapidly growing South Puget Sound area. These transportation pressures have given rise to the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge project.
The Tacoma Narrows is a formidable natural barrier. Carved out by ancient glaciers, over a mile wide and 260 feet deep, with steep, unstable banks on either side, it is a hostile environment for a suspension bridge. Wild tidal currents rip through the Narrows twice daily, through the sole portal between the Pacific Ocean and the entire South Puget Sound. High winds and fog are common. The Puget Sound area is also prone to major earthquakes.
The new Narrows Bridge project is the largest engineering endeavor in the U.S. in the last 30 years. Construction began in late 2002, after approval of an $800 million public-private financing package. The new caissons underwent initial construction in the Port of Tacoma, and were towed to their location in the Narrows, where they were secured in place on the surface with a series of anchor cables radiating circumferentially. These cables, and flotation tanks in the caissons, where used to control the descent of these floating concrete islands, as layers of concrete were added to the top.
The task was akin to building a 25-story building from the roof down, all the while holding its precise position in the alternating rip tides of the Narrows. The bottom of the caissons is configured to be a mammoth cookie cutter, with a sharp steel knife edge to cut through sediments to reach bedrock 50 feet beneath the bottom.
On the east and west banks are the anchors – enormous concrete fortresses designed to secure the cables with their huge tractive forces to the sandy glacial till on either side of the Narrows.
Over the past several months, the towers have begun to rise from the caissons, and now are nearly at the deck level of the current bridge.
The new bridge is scheduled to be completed in 2006, and renovations to the existing bridge made after this. The final project is scheduled for completion in 2007. You, my faithful readers, will see history unfold on this very blog, with regular updates until then. | transportation_engineering |

Tundra’s TSC is a system that detects trailer sway and applies brake pressure at individual wheels and controls engine torque to help stabilize the trailer. The system also illuminates the stop lamps so that vehicles behind are alerted to the fact that your vehicle is decelerating. AUTOMATIC LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (Auto LSD) Auto LSD uses the brakes to simulate the action of a mechanical limited-slip differential. Typically, engine torque is distributed to the rear wheels through an open differential, which sends power down the path of least resistance. That may work for turns where the outside wheel has to spin faster than the inside wheel, but not if a wheel loses traction. In that case, the differential will send all of its torque to the spinning wheel. With Auto LSD, Tundra applies brakes individually to wheels with no traction. This increases resistance at the slipping wheel, feeding power to the wheels with grip. With Auto LSD, even a 4x2 Tundra can pull itself out of many low-traction situations. A big part of controlling a trailer is having the ability to stop it. To that end, Tundra not only has the largest front brake rotors in its class, but is also the only 1/2-ton truck to offer 4-piston brake calipers.

Experimental, computational, and asymptotic analysis has shown that various patterns of shock reflection may occur, including regular and Mach reflection. However, most of the fundamental issues for shock reflection have not been understood, including the global structure, stability, and transition of the different patterns of shock reflection. Therefore, it is essential to establish the global existence and structural stability of solutions of shock reflection in order to understand fully the phenomena of shock reflection. On the other hand, there has been no rigorous mathematical result on the global existence and structural stability of shock reflection, including the case of potential flow which is widely used in aerodynamics. Such problems involve several challenging difficulties in the analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations such as mixed equations of elliptic-hyperbolic type, free boundary problems, and corner singularity where an elliptic degenerate curve meets a free boundary. In this paper we develop a rigorous mathematical approach to overcome these difficulties involved and establish a global theory of existence and stability for shock reflection by large-angle wedges for potential flow. The techniques and ideas developed here will be useful for other nonlinear problems involving similar difficulties. | transportation_engineering |

Lunaz UEVs cut carbon emissions, speed up global drive to net zero
The UK-based Lunaz realizes the potential of up-cycling and electrifying existing combustion engine vehicles and provides re-engineering services intended to convert vehicles to zero-emission powertrains. Recently Lunaz introduced a commercial Upcycled Electric Vehicle (UEV), a refuse truck. The company remanufactures and technologically upgrades refuse trucks sustainability without functional compromise.
This study proves the environmental benefits of Lunaz’ upcycling process. David Lorenz, Founder, Lunaz, said, “At a time when investment in sustainable technologies and solutions, especially around transport, are the front and centre in the news and legislation, this report is a huge vote of confidence not just in our upcycling process, but in electric propulsion generally. This rigorous independent study shows our [Lunaz’] upcycled electric vehicles’ carbon emissions over their potential lifetime are substantially lower than their new diesel and electric equivalents. The extent of these savings is clearly impactful, and a fantastic validation of our technology and approach, providing a clear path to value for our customers, and sending strong signals to green technology investors who continue to be attracted to the Lunaz proposition.”
The comprehensive Lifecycle Carbon Analysis (LCA), conducted by sustainability consultants, Tunley Environmental, also found that a Lunaz UEV saves 43 tCO2e when compared to a new all-electric model. This is equivalent to more than 30 London to Los Angeles commercial flights, or the weight of 13 private jets.
The study identifies and quantifies all sources of carbon emissions of a refuse truck. This includes the production, installation, use and end-of-life treatment of a Mercedes-Benz Econic refuse truck upcycled and electrified by Lunaz. It then compares them to the figures for conventional diesel and all-new electric versions of the same vehicle.
In the Lunaz upcycling process, end-of-life diesel refuse trucks undergo a bare-metal restoration; the engine and associated systems are removed, recycled and replaced with a Lunaz’ fully electric powertrain. The interior is remodelled with upgraded ergonomics, materials and technology, improving safety and operator wellbeing.
However, upcycling not only gives a second life to a diesel refuse truck: after seven years, Lunaz will take the vehicle back and refurbish it again, with a third refurbishment possible seven years after that. The study therefore looks at the total CO2 emissions over three seven-year operating lifetimes. This is supported by a recent partnership with UK-based Altilium, in which a low carbon logistical solution is being developed for the safe transportation and discharging of end-of-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
Preserving the embedded carbon in the raw materials and initial manufacturing emissions up to the point where the vehicle enters service - known as ‘cradle-to-gate’ emissions – is where Lunaz offers such unprecedented sustainability benefits compared to all-new models. This is much more environmentally impactful than the ‘tailpipe’ emissions of new diesel refuse collection vehicles in their early years of service.
Given the greater raw material burden of all-new electric refuse trucks, the cradle-to-gate emissions of a new electric truck are almost twice as high as a UEV at 99.5 tCO2e.
For operators and consumers, the most relatable statistic is likely to be operational carbon emissions. The report calculated that total carbon dioxide emissions from a new diesel equivalent was 3.6 times, or 1,410 tCO2e, greater than a Lunaz UEV over three lifecycles. Likewise, the report found that an all-new electric refuse truck was 27%, or almost 145 tCO2e worse on CO2 emissions, compared to a Lunaz UEV.
Accelerating the transition to clean-air transport and logistics: By providing a sustainable and more economically viable alternative to replacing existing vehicles with new EVs or ICE equivalents, at full scale, Lunaz saves millions of tonnes in embedded carbon and billions of pounds in capital.
This approach has been commercially and technically proven through landmark fleet electrification agreements signed with UK Local Government Authorities and Biffa, the UK’s largest sustainable waste management company.
This commercial success and continued inward investment supports one of the fastest growing companies in the UK. Lunaz now employs more than 250 highly skilled engineers and technicians at its upcycling and electrification campus on the Silverstone Technology Park.
Investing in the future
The report is a clear validation of the Lunaz upcycling approach as a means to drive down carbon emissions as the world transitions towards net zero. It highlights that, as the proportion of renewable energy from wind, solar, tidal and nuclear sources in the UK grid increases, the lifetime emissions of electric vehicles decrease. This is significant because the values presented above use the average UK electricity grid CO2 values as a baseline. However, a likely ‘greening of the grid’ would reduce CO2 emissions significantly: by around 40%. In addition, operators using certified 100% renewable tariffs, as Lunaz does, can achieve even lower emissions: the report suggests that these could drop by a further 65%.
The report also considers the effect on switching to biofuels, such as hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), which has production and usage emissions around 80% below those of commercial diesel fuel. Despite more renewable fuel, over three seven-year life cycles, the Lunaz UEV would still have fewer emissions than a diesel truck running on HVO, even before ‘greening the grid’ or renewable tariffs are considered. | transportation_engineering |

E-Mobility and Big Data - Data Utilization of Charging Operations
Proceedings of XXIX ISPIM Conference, Stockholm, 2018
Electric vehicles have enjoyed a substantial growth in recent years. One essential part to ensure their success in the future is a well-developed and easy-to-use charging infrastructure. Since charging stations generate a lot of (big) data, gaining useful information out of this data can help to push the transition to E-Mobility. In a joint research project, the Know-Center, together with the has.to.be GmbH applied data analytics methods and visualization technologies on the provided data sets. One objective of the research project is, to provide a consumption forecast based on the historical consumption data. Based on this information, the operators of charging stations are able to optimize the energy supply. Additionally, the infrastructure data were analysed with regard to "predictive maintenance", aiming to optimize the availability of the charging stations. Furthermore, advanced prediction algorithms were applied to provide services to the end user regarding availability of charging stations. | transportation_engineering |

Using radio frequency technology, the RFID electronic tag when receiving goods, through the RFID printer will be the cargo number, flight number, flight date, number of pieces, weight and other information into the electronic tag chip. When the goods are installed with the collection equipment in the freight yard, the baggage information will be automatically read. The collection equipment includes the collection station after the security check channel, the collection terminal at the entrance and exit of the freight yard, the collection terminal for goods on board, the collection terminal for goods off the plane, the sorting terminal for goods on arrival, and the mobile terminal for goods receipt and collection.
Realize the automatic data collection and node traceability of the whole process of goods from receiving, inbound and outbound, on and off the machine, sorting and signing. Cooperate with the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies to carry out intelligent verification of data in each link, and give intelligent prompts to operators at each node for problems such as wrong state of goods, packet loss and wrong loading, so as to prevent packet loss risks in advance.
BaggageAttach RFID electronic tag to each baggage (mail), and the information of the object and owner, departure station, arrival station, flow number, time and other information is recorded in the electronic tag; RFID readers will read these information, transmitted to the database, to achieve information sharing and monitoring in the whole process of luggage transportation.
Baggage sortingPassengers departing from the airport will check in their luggage at the departure check-in counter. The staff will complete the check-in registration according to the passenger's boarding pass and print the RFID baggage label. The RFID baggage label will be installed on the baggage and then put into the baggage conveyor. The conveyor is equipped with an RFID collection channel. When the baggage passes through the RFID collection channel, its relevant information is collected and transmitted to the conveyor control system. The conveyor control system can correctly sort the baggage to the baggage compartment slot of the corresponding flight according to the information obtained. Finally, the porter will transfer the luggage of the corresponding flight to the trunk, together with the aircraft cargo compartment on the tractor. | transportation_engineering |

Cheap and efficient winch launching is particularly suited to pre-solo training. Winches comprise of anywhere between one and six drums holding several thousand yards of multi-strand cable. The cables are towed using a tractor, off-road vehicle or dedicated retrieve winch, to the waiting gliders at the launch point. A cable is then attached, via a weak link, onto the glider's belly-hook and after the appropriate commands the winch driver will slowly take up any slack in the cable before initiating the launch.
The glider rapidly accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about three seconds, and lifts off after a short ground-run. The pilot will maintain a shallow climb until a safe height is reached before rotating into the full climb of about 30 - 45 degrees. The height gained from the launch depends on the glider, wind speed and the length of the cable run but is typically about 1,000 - 1,700 feet (heights in excess of 2,000 feet can be reached under the right circumstances). The whole launch takes less than a minute and is generally considered to be one of the most entertaining launch methods; particularly when the cable breaks!
While more sedate than the winch launch, it is much more expensive due to running costs on the tug aircraft. The tug, such as a Pawnee or Chipmunk, is attached to the glider by a 100-foot length of rope. The glider is towed along the ground until it has enough speed to lift off. At this stage the tug will still be on the ground, so the glider pilot must fly behind the tug maintaining just a few feet of altitude until the tug is airborne and begins the climb-out. The glider and tug maintain formation until the glider releases in an area of lift or reaches release altitude (normally 2,000 - 3,000 feet).
Aerotows have the significant advantage of allowing one to release further from the airfield, allowing experienced tug pilots to drop the glider in an area of lift. The extra height is also useful on non-soarable days for early instructional flights due to the increased flight length and for those aerobatic 'hooligan' flights.
This rare launch method is cheaper then aerotow but more expensive then winching. It is used as an alternative to winching when launching from tarmac runways. Normal winch cable can chafe on tarmac, so a single strand cable is run along the length of the runway around a pulley and is hooked onto a powerful pickup truck. Autotows are very similar to winch launches but due to the slower acceleration the ground-run is longer and a greater length of runway is required for a high launch.
BungeeOnce quite common, this method of launch is now only available at the Midland Gliding Club by request. It is also necessary for the local ridge lift conditions to be right, as the glider is simply hurled down the hill by a rubber bungee, much akin to a child's catapult. The glider obtains just enough speed to get airborne and dives down the ridge, accelerating to a safe speed before turning to soar the ridge and hopefully climbing back up to height of the landing area. Of course, if it all goes wrong, there are normally a few landable fields at the bottom of the ridge!
Motor-gliders, essentially light aircraft with soaring abilities, can use their engine to launch themselves. While they are useful for navigation and field landing training, they are much more expensive then conventional gliders and require a special license to fly. Some motor gliders are fitted with a retractable engine, mounted in the fuselage behind the cockpit.
These self-launching gliders are again expensive, but can take off like regular aircraft, climb to a safe height and then stow the engine and soar like a regular glider. The engine also provides a handy safety-net in case the glider doesn't maintain enough height to return home to the airfield. Considered cheating by the purist, the self-launching glider has many obvious advantages for those who can afford them. | transportation_engineering |

Officials are investigating a train derailment in Moncks Corner Monday night.
Officials say just before 7 p.m., five train cars derailed near Cypress Gardens Road. When they arrived on scene, investigators also found that a 12 foot section of the bridge collapsed.
According to Bill Salisbury, Chief of the Berkeley County Rescue Squad, about a 15-to-20 foot section of the bridge on Cypress Gardens Road collapsed on top of the train.
CSX, the train company, says the train had two locomotives and 72 rail cars. Five of those train cars derailed, and all five of those rail cars were empty.
Officials say there is hazardous material on the train, but that material was in a different part of the train and did not spill. Officials said they have removed that material.
No injuries have been reported.
Salisbury says a pickup truck was traveling on Cypress Gardens Road heading towards Highway 52 was unable to stop, so he accelerated and actually jumped over the gap on the roadway, landing on the other side and running off into a ditch. Salisbury says the jump was something out of "the Dukes of Hazard," and that the man told him that it happened so fast, he didn't have time to think. There was some damage to his truck, but the man was not injured.
No injuries on the train or the gentleman in the truck was not injured.
Close to 50 neighbors along the road are without water as of early Tuesday morning. The American Red Cross is supplying water bottles to residents until a fix is made.
The reason the bridge collapsed is under investigation. It will be investigated by the railroad and the highway dept. News 2 is told that it will take days to clean up the accident and repair the bridge.
Traffic will be rerouted through Goose Creek, along Red Bank Road. Troopers with the South Carolina Highway Patrol said this path is about 20 miles out of the way.

AMATUZIO had ample opportunity to witness synthetic lubricants in action. These oils are used exclusively in jet engines because of three extraordinary performance characteristics: an ability to reduce friction and wear on engine components, an ability to function dependably at severe temperature extremes and an ability to withstand rigorous and lengthy engine operation without chemical breakdown.
Recognizing that these same benefits would prove invaluable in combustion engines, Al Amatuzio formulated the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet API service requirements for automobile engines. The new lubricant performed like no other before it. When the first can of AMSOIL 10W-40 appeared on the market in 1972, it signaled the birth of an entire industry. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have expanded the boundaries of lubrication science and redefined the performance possibilities of modern machinery and engines.
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil delivers extraordinary lubrication in all types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining industry-premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives, Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated emissions control systems. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to outperform competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils. It delivers long-lasting performance and protection.
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long-drain additive system are inherently stable to resist oxidation and neutralize acids over longer periods. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to deliver the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals. It reduces vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs. | transportation_engineering |

According to Toyota officials the settlement, which is said to be the largest in U.S. history involving vehicle defects, will resolve hundreds of lawsuits filed against Japanese automaker since 2009.
The settlement was preliminarily approved by District Judge James V. Selna. Final Approval Hearing is planned to be held on June 14. According to the settlement former and current owners of Toyota vehicles included in it will get information through notices expected to be mailed in early March.
Toyota will offer payments in cash about $250 million to customers who sold or turned in leased cars between September 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010. The amount each consumer will receive depends on the year and model of his/her Toyota car and the state in which the vehicle was bought. The company is also going to allocate supplemental warranty coverage for certain components of the vehicle and to remodel about 3.2 million cars with a brake override system (designed to cut the throttle when the brake pedal is pushed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed). The settlement also envisages establishing education programs for drivers and funding new research on advanced car safety technologies.
The settlement does not include claims by people who filed lawsuits to seek compensation for injury and death due to sudden acceleration. Initially all the claims were divided into two categories: economic loss and wrongful death. The first trial involving the suits from the second category is scheduled for February. Toyota is still to face two separate lawsuits related to vehicle recalls in 2009-2010, a fraud and consumer protection lawsuit in Orange County, California, as well as unfair-business-practice case filed by the 28 states attorneys general.
Recently Toyota has recalled over 14 million cars worldwide for problems related to unintended acceleration. A series of accidents in Toyota vehicles impelled National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to launch an investigation conducted by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) experts. After 10-month investigation NASA officials reported unintended acceleration was not specified by flaws in electronic throttle control system. It is a result of «floor mats entrapment» (loose floor mats inadvertently entrapped gas pedal while the car was in motion) and sticking accelerator pedals, reads the report.
The U.S Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) fined Toyota Motor Corporation 17.35 million for failing to notify the Agency about safety defect in a timely manner. | transportation_engineering |

The loud rumble is a sure sign of an exhaust leak. Exhaust leaks are dangerous because not only do they cause driveability problems but they allow for the possibility of toxic, colorless and odorless fumes to enter the passenger cabin that can quickly cause a driver to pass out and die. If you experience any of these symptoms of an exhaust leak make an appointment with your local auto mechanic right away.
One of the less common signs of an exhaust leak is a decreased fuel efficiency. An exhaust leak causes pressure issues within the engine that can cause it to burn unnecessary amounts of fuel based on oxygen sensor readings. Typically the drop in fuel efficiency will be in the 2-3 MPG range. However, a drop in MPGs related to an exhaust leak will usually be accompanied by one of the following symptoms as well. If you ever have mileage problems be sure to have them diagnosed by a mechanic.
Increased Engine Noise
Likely the most telltale signs of an exhaust leak is an increase in engine noise. As mentioned, it may make your vehicle sound better, but the noise is doing no favors for your vehicle. This noise will likely be louder as you accelerate. Leaks can happen anywhere in the system and even pinhole leaks can create a loud roar. An exhaust leak near the manifold can greatly increase engine volume and it carries a greater risk of allowing harmful fumes to access the passenger cabin. Any odd noises should warrant a trip to the mechanic.
Another common sign of an exhaust leak is a vibration sensation. If you notice the steering wheel vibrating or can feel it in the gas pedal, especially during acceleration, there is a good chance that you have a small leak somewhere in the system. The force created by gases leaking out of the exhaust pipes through small holes or cracks will cause the vehicle to vibrate.
If you suspect that you have an exhaust leak you should never wait to have it checked out, as the risk of poisonous gases entering the vehicle is very real.

What Does Excessive Exhaust Smoke Mean? As your car runs it produces emissions that contains fumes that are very poisonous to people, or any oxygen-breathing being for that matter. The exhaust system in your car prevents these gases from getting into the passenger area and it also helps to improve fuel efficiency by monitoring the makeup of your vehicle's emissions and calculating the correct air/fuel mixture based on the readings. But you can monitor your exhaust as well and likely determine if engine trouble is occurring! If you see excess smoke being emitted from the tailpipe take note of the…
What does it mean to be a Dealership Alternative? When a person buys a new car they often assume that they must have that new car serviced at the dealership in order to receive proper maintenance and to ensure that their warranty stays valid. This isn't entirely true. While you can't just take your car to any ol' garage, there are auto repair shops that can act as dealership alternatives for all your vehicle maintenance and repair needs and still maintain your manufacturer warranty. Here are few common questions about dealer alternative auto shops that many people ask. What Qualifications…

Trail Length: 40 miles
Running north from the Yale University campus in New Haven through the heart of Connecticut, the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail comprises several distinct segments totaling 40 miles of rail-trail. The trail follows the corridor of the defunct Farmington Canal.
New Haven section. The trail's southern terminus is Yale's new Malone Engineering Building. The start of the trail is a 1.25-mile urban path. There is no designated trail parking, but on-street or garage parking is available. Starr Street marks the trail's end. To continue to the Hamden to Cheshire section, riders need to travel 4 miles on lightly trafficked roads. Turn right on Starr, travel one block, turn left on Newhall Street, and continue about a mile through the Putnam Avenue intersection; Newhall becomes Leeder Hill Drive. Follow Leeder Hill to Treadwell Street, take a right, then take an immediate left on Martin Terrace. At the road's end, turn left on Mather Street, followed by a right on Waite Street. Take the first left on Coram Street, then left again on Beverly Road. Follow Beverly around, then bear right on Woodbine Street. Make the third left on Elgin Street, go one block, then continue straight on Connolly Parkway. At Wilbur Cross Parkway (State Route 15), turn right to pick up the Hamden to Cheshire section.
Hamden to Cheshire section. A prominent sign for the New Haven & Northampton Railroad Canal Line marks the trailhead of this northbound segment at the Connolly Parkway in Hamden. Approaching Cheshire, you'll reach Lock 12 and keeper's house, now a historical park. Here you'll find trailhead parking, picnic tables, toilets, a drinking fountain, and a phone. Trail's end lies 1.6 miles north at a parking lot on Cornwall Avenue in Cheshire.
Southington section. From a trailhead parking area on West Main Street in downtown Southington, this 2-mile asphalt trail bridges the Quinnipiac River and passes through the heart of a restored mill section starting at Center Street. From here, turn right on Center Street and continue north to the trail's end on Hart Street.
Farmington to the Massachusetts border section. The 22-mile northern section of the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail shares its Tunxis Meade Park trailhead with the 8.5-mile Farmington River Trail. Within the first mile, you will cross a high bridge over the Farmington River. The trail first leaves the corridor 5.8 miles along in Avon, meandering a mile along surface streets and beneath Route 44 before rejoining the corridor at Sperry Park. Continue north through East Granby. Reaching a small bridge on Route 10, briefly follow the sidewalk, then turn right on Drake Hill Road and look for the trailhead to the right of Iron Horse Boulevard; turn left here to rejoin the corridor.
The trail continues north, paralleling the boulevard and passing Drake Hill Road Park. The trail continues 4 miles to a major break at Wolcott Road. From here, you can either backtrack to the closest trailhead at Route 315 or continue to the border. At Wolcott Road, turn right and travel a mile to a three-way intersection. Take another right, go about 100 yards, and turn left on Route 189. The trailhead lies a mile down this road on your right. From here, the trail continues 4 miles to the Massachusetts border.
Parking and Trail Access:
To reach the southern trailhead on the Yale campus, take Interstate 91 to Exit 3/Trumbull Street. Drive straight on Trumbull for three blocks to Hillhouse Avenue and look for on-street or garage parking. On weekends and after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, Yale’s parking lots are open to the public for free.
To reach the Cheshire trailhead, take Interstate 691 to Exit 3 and head south on State Route 10/Highland Avenue through town. Turn right on Cornwall Avenue and proceed to the trailhead and adjacent parking. To drive to the southern access point, leave Route 15 (Wilbur Cross Parkway) at Exit 60 and drive north on Route 10 (Dixwell Avenue) for a quarter mile. Take the first entrance to the mall on your right and proceed to the large parking lot on the south side of the mall, which is adjacent to the trail.
To reach the West Main Street trailhead, take Interstate 691 to Exit 3 and head north on State Route 10/South Main Street to West Main. Turn left on West Main and proceed to the trailhead parking area.
To reach the southern trailhead in Farmington, take Interstate 84 to Exit 38 (from the south) or Exit 39 (from the north). Once in town, drive a mile west of Route 10 on Meadow Road to Tunxis Meade Park.
To reach the State Route 315 trailhead, take I-84 to Exit 38 (from the south) or 39 (from the north). Once in Farmington, head north on Route 10 through Avon and Simsbury. The Route 315 trailhead parking area lies 2 miles beyond the Iron Horse Boulevard trailhead. | transportation_engineering |

We’ve developed a cloud system to monitor and control motorized agricultural equipment
The goal was to develop a complex solution for tracking productivity and management of vehicles fleet, integrating with the already existing GPS-trackers.
The first step in project development was to set up the integration with legacy geolocation trackers. Using the received geodata the system calculates the main metrics of vehicles operation — mileage, time and the area cultivated.
Fleet management is handled in the administration system, where users can set the interval between maintenance or assign a required agricultural device or geoarea for further calculation of cultivation parameters.
We've introduced cartography support based on the Openlayers solution for viewing the location of vehicles in real time and drawing geo areas contours with a maximum degree of accuracy relative to the actual landscape.
For achieving the maximum degree of control over the fleet, we've developed an event log where warnings about expiry of the service interval and vehicles entering restricted areas automatically appear, as well as reports on faults and repairs carried out. Notifications are also duplicated in Telegram bot for immediate response to incidents.
In addition, we have simplified the document workflow by creating a form for the automatic generation of waybills based on specified parameters and their submission for printing. The system creates and stores templates, making work with them even more efficient.
The developed system is used in many processes of the company's activities — it helps to save fuel and calculate labor costs, increase production efficiency by rapidly reacting to incidents while the analytics of the comprehensive production data flow allows to identify bottlenecks and increase overall productivity.

The joint venture is yet to be finalized, said Bloomberg citing people familiar with the matter. But the duo would target China’s expanding market for these new types of transport services. The move means Geely and Daimler will take on the country’s industry pioneer Didi Chuxing in its home market.
The privately-held Chinese automaker has been exploring an operational tie-up with Daimler since late February when Geely’s billionaire chairman Li Shufu took a 9.7% stake in Daimler. The stake turned Li into the largest shareholder of the German company. Daimler is the parent company of the world’s luxury automobile marque Mercedes-Benz.
"We have a constructive dialogue with our Chinese counterparts. I believe there is potential for both and there are more opportunities than risks. The situation is promising," said Dieter Zetsche, chief executive officer of Daimler at the Paris Motor Show in early October, referring to the company’s partnership with Geely.
The two companies are expected to seal an agreement in regards of the joint venture by the end of October, said Asia-focused English-language publication Nikkei Asian Review. However, other details of the joint venture, including its capitalization and specific business plans, remain unknown.
Geely and Daimler did not immediately respond to China Money Network seeking for comments.
Geely’s chairman Li, who is estimated to have US$14.1 billion in net worth by Forbes, founded the company in November 1986 in Chinese eastern city of Hangzhou.
The company has seen its sales volume steadily increase in China, with its current major competitors in the country being only Volkswagen and General Motors Co.
The company has amassed a stable of brands in the past eight years, including Swedish automobile manufacturer Volvo Car Group, British sports-car maker Lotus Cars and American personal aircraft manufacture Terrafugia.
It backs Chinese electric vehicle sharing company Caocao Zhuanche, which completed a RMB1 billion (US$156 million) series A financing round in January. | transportation_engineering |

Where we can, we will provide a full steam train experience in traditional open-windowed period carriages — hauled by steam power only.
In October 2015, with the restoration of the turntable at Kiama, we ran our first Kiama Picnic Train — a theme revisited from the 1970s and ’80s when locomotive 5917 frequently ran tours to the South Coast town. By Christmas 2015, we had successfully run eight trains to Kiama, with a shuttle train run for local charities once the train from Sydney reached Kiama.
In May 2016, we ran the first Highlands Picnic Train to Robertson in the NSW Southern Highlands. Getting a bit more adventurous, on 20th August 2016 we ran The Picnic Train to Hawkesbury River and Gosford as part of the Northern Steam Spectacular, where two steam train ran side-by-side for much of the way!
With steam locomotive 5917 reaching the end of its tyre life, use was limited to a few Kiama Picnic Trains at the end of 2016 and a very special Hunter Valley parallel run with heritage diesel-electric locomotive 4204, hauling The Blue Zephyr train.
While 5917 was having new tyres fixed to the wheels, we continue to run heritage diesel-electric tours utilising The Blue Zephyr train set — such as our Australia Day tour to Kiama, Day tours to Orange and the first train to return to Rylstone during Easter 2018.
Steam locomotive 5917 was back hauling the Picnic Train in May/June 2019, with a massive 3750km tour in the south and west of NSW.
Work at having former broad gauge Victorian Railways R766 active on the NSW standard gauge is progressing steadily and the locomotive will soon be conducting steam tests. We are currently running a fund-raiser for the all-important radio allowing R766 to run on the train networks. Please visit the R766 Restoration link to make a donation.
The tours are operated by Sydney Rail Services. Any earnings from our trains are put back into the ongoing care and maintenance of the locomotives and carriages.

By Randy Coleman
The United States spent almost $451 billion in 2011 on foreign oil—$1,468.27 for every American man, woman and child. Almost all of that foreign oil is consumed through vehicles on highways.
Natural gas vehicles have been around for decades both here and abroad. More than 100,000 exist in the U.S., with millions more in use around the world, and today’s vehicles have the same power as their gasoline counterparts. Meanwhile, pipelines crisscrossing the United States, including West Virginia, make transportation of gas to refueling stations possible.
The game changer for natural gas vehicles has come via shale gas development. Where America has looked since the Carter Administration to conserve natural gas, we now have an abundance of the fuel that serves to significantly lower costs and create long-term stability in the market.
The average price for compressed natural gas at the pump in a gasoline-gallon equivalent is $2.02 compared to almost $4.00 per gallon that most of us are accustomed to paying. At half the price of gasoline, natural gas becomes an option that is too attractive to ignore.
Natural gas is cleaner than gasoline and emits up to 30 percent less carbon dioxide, 75 percent less carbon monoxide, 54 percent less nitrogen oxide, 95 percent less particulate matter and 55 percent less volatile organic compounds. Unlike oil, natural gas generally requires limited processing to prepare it for use.
In 2011, the Honda Civic Natural Gas was named Green Car of the Year. During its 12 years of production, the Civic has proved there is a market for natural gas vehicles. Ford, Chevrolet and Chrysler will release their own compressed natural gas vehicles this year.
National and international companies such as AT&T, Disney, UPS, Waste Management and numerous city bus services are now using natural gas vehicles to lower their transportation costs.
In January 2012, a natural gas-powered motorcycle built by Orange County Choppers for Chesapeake Energy Corporation was on display at the West Virginia International Auto Show. Thousands of visitors took time to sit on this sleek bike and have their picture taken.
Kanawha County has announced its Kanawha Converts program. A committee representing various interests in that county is working to convert vehicles owned by public entities from gasoline to natural gas power. The annual savings will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For years, the question has been a chicken-or-egg scenario. Would car companies build natural gas vehicles, which would spur development of fuel stations, or would it be the other way around? The question, perhaps, insinuated that neither would happen, but the abundance of natural gas and low, stable prices have ensured that the fuel is a sustainable reality while oil prices have been higher for years.
Natural gas vehicles in West Virginia will most likely expand first with fleets that return to a central fueling station each day. Garbage trucks, busses, short-route delivery trucks and postal vehicles are good examples. With consumer confidence, personal vehicles will follow.
Tax credits and lower fuel costs will make natural gas vehicles even more attractive. These savings will put thousands of dollars back into the pockets of West Virginians. Equally important, we can finally free ourselves of total dependence on foreign oil.
Fill ’Er Up
By Stephen Yborra
As the country looks toward natural gas vehicles and freedom from foreign oil, consumers need to understand the basics of natural gas as a vehicle fuel and how the fueling stations function.
With the rising cost of gasoline and the growing popularity of natural gas vehicles, compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel stations have become more common. Regardless of size, whether a large public-access, fast-fill location for hundreds of vehicles or a home refueling appliance for just one car, CNG stations take low pressure natural gas, usually delivered via the local gas utility’s underground service line, and compress it to much higher pressure for storage either in the vehicle’s onboard cylinders or in on-site high-pressure CNG vessels for fast fueling vehicles.
A fast-fill CNG station typically includes a gas dryer, a compressor or two, high-pressure steel storage spheres or tubes, one or more NIST Weights & Measures-approved dispensers with hoses, various filters and a central controller and related solenoid valves. While today’s onboard cylinders store gas up to 3600 pounds-per-square-inch (psi), there are still old vehicles in service with cylinders designed for 3000psi, so many stations still include one hose to provide no more than 3000psi CNG. A properly sized and designed fast-fill CNG station can fuel at rates comparable to gasoline or diesel. The right balance of compression and storage at a station will depend on vehicle fueling patterns and the predictability of those fueling patterns, projected maximum and average hourly loads, available space and incoming gas line volumes and pressures.
A time-fill CNG system delivers fuel directly to the vehicle’s onboard cylinders over extended periods of time. Home refueling appliances are time-fill devices. Time-fill systems are attractive to fleets with vehicles that use one tank of fuel or less per day and sit idle at a central depot for 10 or more hours each day. Examples include trash trucks, food and beverage delivery trucks, school buses and municipal vehicles. The fueling rate per vehicle is determined by the production capacity of the compressor, the number of vehicles connected to the system at any one time and maximum flow limitations of fill lines, filters, et cetera. Time-fill stations do not need high-pressure storage vessels or expensive fast-fill metering capability. Instead, CNG is delivered directly through dispensing hoses mounted on posts located at vehicle parking spots. Although commonly referred to as slow-fill, a time-fill system may provide a fairly quick fill if only one vehicle is drawing down on the CNG supply.
Fully-loaded CNG cost/gasoline-gallon-equivalents (GGE) include the unregulated market price of natural gas, the regulated tariff paid to the local gas company for acquiring and delivering natural gas to the meter, compression energy, station maintenance expense and—the largest component—the amortized cost of station equipment. Compared to standard diesel and gasoline stations, CNG stations are relatively costly, thus requiring high volumes against which to amortize capital equipment cost-per-GGE. That’s why most natural gas vehicle efforts are directed at fleets that, alone or aggregated together, use sufficient fuel to justify initial investment. Increasingly, retail CNG availability is expanding to consumers, either at traditional fuel locations that target fleet accounts for base load and/or via installation of retail public-access at fleet locations. Cost reductions in home fueling appliances will further open the consumer market.

Fleets are the backbone of our country’s current and immediate adoption of CNG as a fueling option. For fleet managers, CNG offers major financial benefits, most notably the ability to cut fuel costs in half. Companies from AT&T and Coca-Cola to UPS, Waste Management and FedEx are endorsing this fueling option as they convert their corporate vehicles to run on clean burning, American natural gas.
As many fleets have predictable fuel volumes, managers feel confident in the fuel savings they will realize with natural gas vehicles. CNG retails on average for less than $2 per gasoline gallon equivalent—a savings of more than $1.50 versus gasoline. Although natural gas vehicles (NGVs) cost more upfront, breakeven savings can typically occur within three years or less.
Chesapeake Energy Corporation offers a current example of these savings at work. As one of the nation’s leading natural gas exploration companies, it is accelerating plans to convert more than 5,000 light-duty vehicles in its fleet to run on natural gas. Many of these vehicles will be on West Virginia roads thanks to Chesapeake’s operations in the Marcellus Shale. Each converted truck will save the company $2,750 in fueling costs. When all 5,000 vehicles are converted, that’s an annual savings of nearly $14 million.
A lot has been accomplished and many steps have been taken to make NGVs a great option. However, more work must be done with both fueling infrastructure and vehicle availability. Fortunately, the marketplace and economic factors are shifting and CNG-fueled vehicles are at a major turning point.
General Motors and Chrysler announced in April that they will introduce bi-fuel (propelled by both CNG and gasoline) trucks into the market. Ford Motor Co. is offering CNG prep engines that can more readily be converted to natural gas after production. Not only are these powerful validations of the future of CNG, but they offer fleet managers more vehicles to choose from and provide increased confidence of original equipment manager (OEM)-supported technology and engineering. Special vehicle upfitters or qualified vehicle modifiers can also be contracted to modify cars and trucks to use CNG.
Related to infrastructure, fleet demand will drive more local convenience store operators to integrate CNG into their business. As an example, Chesapeake is working to identify local West Virginia retailers interested in serving as its preferred CNG fuel provider. Other local organizations, such as the Kanawha Converts Consortium and the City of Charleston, will also drive demand as they convert their vehicles.
Alternative Fuel Tax Credit
By Mark Morton
The ever-increasing costs of fueling our vehicles have given rise to an interest in alternative fuels. Whether converted, retrofitted or brand new, alternative fuel vehicles and refueling stations can be costly upfront. West Virginia offers a tax credit for qualifying taxpayers. The West Virginia alternative fuel tax credit became available in 2011 and is scheduled to end December 31, 2021. It includes:
- The purchase of a new dedicated or bi-fueled alternative fuel motor vehicle for which the purchaser then obtains a valid West Virginia vehicle registration;
- The conversion of a motor vehicle that is presently registered in West Virginia to operate exclusively on an alternative fuel and
- The construction or purchase and installation of a qualified vehicle refueling station capable of dispensing alternative fuel for alternative fuel motor vehicles.
The alternative fuel tax credit applies against a taxpayer’s West Virginia business franchise tax, corporation net income tax and personal income tax. Taxpayers can carry forward the credit to future tax years through 2021.
It is important to note the alternative fuels tax credit is not available to taxpayers obligated under federal or state law, policy or regulation to convert to the use of alternative fuel.
Alternative fuels, for the purposes of this credit, include compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and ethanol, as well as fuel mixtures containing 85 percent or more by volume—when combined with gasoline or other fuels—of methanol, ethanol or other alcohols. Alternative fuels also include hydrogen, electricity—including power from solar energy—and natural gas hydrocarbons and derivatives.
An alternative fuel motor vehicle, meanwhile, could be new, retrofitted or converted. It operates solely on one alternative fuel, is capable of operating on a combination of alternative fuels or can run on a mix of alternative and traditional fuels.
The state tax credit for purchasing an alternative fuel vehicle weighing less than 26,000 pounds is 35 percent of the price, with a maximum of $7,500. The conversion credit for that same vehicle is 50 percent of conversion cost with a $7,500 maximum. For vehicles weighing more than 26,000 pounds, the percentages are the same, although the maximum is $25,000.
A refueling station—or a qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling infrastructure—is used for storing and dispensing alternative fuels. The infrastructure property includes compression equipment, tanks and dispensing units. Refueling stations must be located in West Virginia to be eligible for the credit.
The home refueling station credit is 50 percent of the total cost, with a maximum of $10,000. For refueling stations located away from a home, the credit is 50 percent of the total cost and 62.5 percent if the station is meant for public use. The maximum amounts for stations away from the home decrease throughout the credit’s life.
Through December 31, 2013, the maximum is $250,000 and $312,500 for public use stations. From January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015, the amounts are $200,000 and $250,000, respectively. Through December 31, 2021, they are $150,000 and $187,500.

As an established and proven transportation fuel, natural gas powers 112,000 vehicles on U.S. roads today and more than 13 million worldwide. With about 30 separate companies making 100 light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and engines, according to NGVAmerica, options for fleets and consumers have never been better.
With potential to provide enough gas for two years of consumption by the entire U.S., the Marcellus Shale underlies most of West Virginia at a depth of about one mile. The Utica Shale, another potentially rich source of natural gas, is another few thousand feet below. Although it would be more expensive to extract natural gas from the Utica Shale, its existence combined with the Marcellus Shale have led to predictions that a ready supply of natural gas will mean price stability for the long term.
Not inconsequentially, natural gas has lower ozone-forming emissions than gasoline but is comparable in power and speed and has an existing pipeline distribution system. Adding its status as a domestically produced fuel explains why fleets from Florida, New York and California, as well as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, have adopted natural gas.
The economic impact on fleets and consumers is rooted in the fuel’s current low cost compared to petroleum-based fuels. The January 2012 Clean Cities Alternative Fuel Price Report shows a nationwide average price of $3.37 for gasoline, $3.86 for diesel and $2.13 for CNG. For a first-cut cost analysis of converting or buying CNG vehicles, Virginia Clean Cities has developed The Calculator at www.ngtoolkit.net.
Locally, Kanawha County, Charleston Area Alliance and Bridgemont Community and Technical College have renewed an interest in natural gas for transportation with the creation of the Kanawha Converts consortium, which is harnessing fast-moving developments in the market, automotive industry and energy sector. The Kanawha County Commission’s emergency management and economic development division understands that CNG positively impacts the environment by reducing greenhouse gas and particulate emissions in air breathed by the county’s citizens and the local economy by reducing county transportation costs.
Kanawha Converts will assess education, policy, training, market and financial needs for CNG vehicles and infrastructure in Kanawha County. A proper inventory of skill, types and number of technical positions required for conversions will be assembled.
“Being able to save money by converting to natural gas vehicles will put more money in the pockets of the governmental entities, businesses and residents of the county and thus be like a tax break for everyone willing to take the step,” says Ryan White, an associate at Jackson Kelly PLLC. “The best thing about this initiative is that it encourages the use of a fuel that is very prevalent in West Virginia and diverts that from money we are sending to other countries. It also can lead to the creation of jobs through local conversions and the construction of the necessary infrastructure.” | transportation_engineering |

Although petroleum can be moved by road, waterway, and rail, it would be an understatement to say that the petroleum industry relies on pipeline for transportation. Approximately 72,000 miles of crude oil pipeline crisscross the U.S., a system that has been in development since 1860 or so. It’s part of the system that processes about 20 million barrels of oil per day in the U.S.
No matter the pipe diameter, installations and repairs require cutting and weld preparations with counterbores (typically called ID transitions in the pipeline market) and flange facing. Machines that mount to the pipe’s exterior are indispensable, providing a platform for tooling that rotates around the pipe’s circumference, removing a bit of material with each pass until the cut or bevel is complete. They perform a cold-cutting process, generating little in the way of heat or sparks—a safety enhancement when working on lines that carry anything potentially flammable, like petroleum.
Although the concept is 70 years old, technology advancements have facilitated the development of larger, sturdier, ... | transportation_engineering |

If you use your vehicle on the road you are required by law to keep it in a roadworthy condition. In order to ensure that a vehicle is in a roadworthy condition an MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is carried out to check and validate that the vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.
Owners of vehicles that are 3 years and older are required to have their vehicles tested every year.
All vehicles need a valid MOT test certificate as without one the vehicle insurance and road tax will be invalidated.
It is possible to carry out an MOT test on a vehicle up to one month before the current MOT certificate runs out or expires. If a test is carried out before the current certificate has expired then the new start date on the new MOT certificate will be from when the old one expires and not the date when the vehicle was tested.
Example: If your MOT certificate runs out on 15 August, the earliest you can get an MOT certificate to keep the same renewal date for next year is 16 July the following year.
You can get an MOT earlier, but the MOT renewal date for the following year will be different.
If the MOT certificate has run out
You can’t drive your vehicle on the road if the MOT has run out. You can be prosecuted if caught.
The only exceptions are to drive it:
- to or from somewhere to be repaired
- to a pre-arranged MOT test
About the MOT
The MOT tests some important items on your vehicle to check that they meet the legal standards.
It isn’t the same as having your vehicle serviced and doesn’t check its general mechanical condition.

It was meant to attract commuters seeking to avoid the notorious heavy traffic situation in the populated and congested commercial city.
Called the UberBOAT, the waterway service is operated in partnership with local boat operator Texas Connection Ferries and the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA).
Uber said in a statement that “This initiative is aimed at providing commuters with an easy and affordable way to get in and out of the city’s business districts.”
For now the pilot phase of the service will operate only on weekdays from 07:00 GMT to 16:00 GMT.
Services would only be available on a fixed route between two locations in Lagos.
The two week-pilot would take care of four trips a day, carrying up to 35 people on a boat.

Uber said passengers will be charged a flat fare of 500 naira ($1.39) per trip, that is higher than the 300 naira minibuses charge for a similar journey.
But it seems people would be willing to pay for it, if it means getting them around the notorious traffic situation in Lagos.
Congested Lagos city
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos state, told reporters that Uber boat service, and the use of waterways in general, form part of initiatives to ease congestion on Lagos roads.
Nigeria is Africa’s most populated country and Lagos is hugely populated as well with it’s traffic crisis impacting negatively on productivity.
Diverting some of the congestion via boat transport may not resolve the crisis permanently, according to analysts but surely gives hope of getting around it.
It should bring some relief to many across the country. | transportation_engineering |

LANXESS has officially launched two new easy processing neodymium polybutadiene (NdPBR) rubber grades to ease the production of for example, fuel-efficient tires. Buna® Nd 22 EZ and Buna® Nd 24 EZ are among others characterized by high molar masses necessary to fabricate tires with outstanding low rolling resistance, but are still exceptionally easy to process due to new LANXESS rubber modification technology. Hence these new modified NdPBR grades represent attractive alternatives for the high performance NdPBR Buna® CB22 and Buna® CB24 rubbers already widely applied in the tire industry. Both grades are now available in sample- and industrial size.
One of the key properties of these rubbers is their narrow polydispersity which leads to higher molar mass. “The higher a rubber’s molar mass, the lower can be the tire‘s rolling resistance,” explains Grub. “So, high molecular weight NdPBR is superior to –other PBR types with broader polydispersity in key properties such as rolling resistance and abrasion However, high molar masses until now were correlated with high Mooney viscosities, presenting a crucial hurdle to overcome in order to get the best performance out of regular high performance NdPBR rubbers.
The processability of these high molecular weight polymers has been the key issue for years – and an important challenge for us to help our customers. For those who have long mastered to utilize the most sophisticated high molecular weight polymers, the new materials may provide an opportunity to gain productivity. Now we can offer our customers a promising solution utilizing new LANXESS rubber modification technology.“
In technical terms, the modification scheme of the new NdPBR grades Buna® Nd 22 EZ and Buna® Nd 24 EZ is designed to create long chain branching, which accelerates the fast and reliable incorporation of fillers into the rubber matrix and improves processing. In addition, a proprietary chemical modification of the chains enhances the rubber/filler interaction, especially with carbon black in sidewall compounds maintaining the dynamic performance of the tires made with the new grades at the high level of LANXESS standard NdPBR grades.
NdPBR is rarely used on its own but in blends with other polymers particularly solution SBR in tire tread formulations using silica as the filler. It has been shown that the modification also enhances the inter polymer phase distribution. This will lead to improved distribution of the filler in the resultant compound. In addition, the LANXESS rubber experts have achieved a significant increase in the rubber’s tackiness on the mill – without adding any processing aids.

Girard will be getting a $300,000 Neighborhood Revitalization grant to improve sidewalks, streets, park facilities and fire protection facilities.
The project is expected to benefit 1,545 residents, according to the agency.
A bit farther south in Columbiana County, East Palestine is getting a $300,000 Critical Infrastructure grant to replace an aging bridge in the village. The bridge was constructed in the 1920s and is unsafe for travel. The project is expected to benefit 4,721 residents.
"The state is committed to investing in neighborhoods and business districts to improve the quality of life in a community and position it for growth," said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency.
The Critical Infrastructure and Neighborhood Revitalization programs are competitive grants within the Community Development Block Grant program. Projects funded through these programs improve public facilities and infrastructure as well as rehabilitate buildings in a community's central business district. | transportation_engineering |

The original concept was enticingly simple. It involved fitting a sophisticated race car engine into a luxurious, handcrafted sedan.
Seamlessly combining these two worlds was, of course, far from simple. Yet it is exactly what Maserati did in 1947 with the A6 1500 GT Pininfarina and some years later with the 3500GT prototype: “The White Dame”. Such power had never been so beautifully packaged and delivered – opening up all kinds of new, long-distance possibilities. | transportation_engineering |
https://woostuff.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/qgis-style-tricks-using-styles-to-help-fix-kerb-line-directions/ | 2020-02-21T04:01:15 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145438.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221014826-20200221044826-00520.warc.gz | 0.961788 | 800 | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-10__0__10509228 | en | We are currently working a kerb line digitization and defect capture project at work. This process involves looking at the aerial photo along with video of the roads and drawing lines on the kerb layer using QGIS, not overly hard just tedious. As I mentioned in my Using QGIS in local government post, the defect points are snapped to the lines in order generate the distances, or chainage, along the kerb line for reporting reasons e.g Defect 1 at 10m, Defect 2 at 11.5m. In order for this to happen the kerb lines must be running the correct direction, the correct direction here is defined by the road direction. The kerb line also has an attribute to define what side of the road it is on, left or right, in reference to the direction of the road center line.
So we have two conditions:
- Must run the same way as the road
- Must have the correct side of the road assigned
The problem is how to clean up any lines that are already wrong (we were 90% of the way though when the above conditions were added).
In QGIS we can add line directions by using a two layer symbol for the kerb line:
Not too bad but I still have to focus a lot to see which direction the lines are going. Viewing them at this scale is fine but once you start to move the arrows all become a blur after a while. Plus this also doesn’t let me check the side of road attribute quickly. Yes I can look at the color and the label but still I would like a quick way to look at line and see if it is facing the right way and with the correct side of the road attached.
What we can do is offset the arrows on the line so that they will be on the inside of the kerb line, between the kerb line and the road direction markers when they are facing the correct direction and have the correct side of road attribute.
For the left side we will of set the marker Line offset to 3, and for the right side we offset by -3
Using the 3 and -3 offsets will mean the arrows are rendered on the inside of the kerb line if the line is facing the correct direction. Lets have a look
Ohh no that isn’t right! See how the line directions are facing the wrong way and it is showing the arrows on the outside of the line, further away from the road line. This isn’t right. Lets swap those line directions using a plugin that I wrote called Swap Line Direction (Search for ‘Swap’ in the plugin installer).
So now the arrows are on the inside of the line and are facing the correct way.
But wait there is more
This styling also helps me check that it is assigned the correct side of the road. If we assign the top line the value ‘left‘, which is wrong in this case, we will see that the arrows are now on the wrong side of the line
Of course here the obvious thing here is that there is two green lines which you can’t have, but also having the arrows on the wrong side of the line lets you quickly see which one is wrong.
It is impossible to get the arrows to be on the inside and facing the correct way. If we swap the direction of the line the arrows are now on the inside but are facing the wrong way
Using this style trick allows me to quickly see at a glance which sections might be wrong when I have more then a single road in view
This post is a quick example of how you can use QGIS styles to help you visually validate you data. The way I have done things in the post my not work for you and you might find it less helpful and more distracting then I did; however I found it worked well with my eyes and reduced strain. | transportation_engineering |

Federal agencies have classified some of these components as known human carcinogens and hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
Exposure to diesel exhaust is a known cause of both asthma and lung cancer, and can exacerbate respiratory diseases through inflammation and irritation of the airways. Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (key combustion by-products found in diesel exhaust) has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.
There is no known safe level of exposure to diesel exhaust. A recent study on children’s exposures to diesel exhaust from riding school buses suggests that regulations regarding idling and maintenance are urgently needed.
The case for replacing diesel with cleaner and renewable fuels should also be proposed to our decision makers. Biodiesel is one alternative fuel that has gone through rigorous testing for health and environmental effects. This fuel, made from vegetable oils (primarily soybean), can reduce targeted cancer-causing compounds by up to 90 percent. In addition, biodiesel works in diesel engines with little or no engine modifications.
A second alternative is low sulfur fuels. While conventional diesel can contain upwards of 700 ppm of sulfur, low sulfur fuels, often called ‘cleaner diesel’ or ‘green diesel’, contain no more than 30 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur. Low sulfur fuels produce fewer emissions of particulates, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon dioxide. It is estimated that a complete conversion to low sulfur fuels would be the equivalent of removing two million vehicles from our roads.

Located within Canberra’s Parliamentary Triangle, between the National Gallery of Australia and Kings Avenue bridge, the project replaces a dangerous at-grade crossing on busy Bowen Drive with a pedestrian and cyclist underpass. In doing so, it completes the much-needed final link in the ‘Bridge to Bridge’ loop, a popular recreational trail around Lake Burley Griffin.
Bowen Place Crossing demonstrates how a landscape architectural approach to infrastructure can produce a functional and poetic built outcome – an infrastructure that connects people physically from the Kings Avenue Bridge to the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, while at the same time providing an experiential connection to the nationally significant cultural and heritage values of the place.
Since its completion in late 2015, Bowen Place Crossing has received uniformly positive responses from the client, media, and most importantly, the public.
“The simplicity of the design belies the complexity of successfully meeting the challenges of transforming the functional into the splendid…Bowen Place Crossing sets an exemplary standard in the design of infrastructure in Australia”

One of the key advantages of asphalt tape is its easy installation process. Unlike traditional asphalt paving, which requires heavy machinery and significant labor, asphalt tape can be applied quickly and efficiently. The tape is pre-formed in rolls, making it easy to transport and handle on-site. This means that projects can be completed in a fraction of the time, reducing disruption to traffic flow and minimizing inconvenience to businesses and residents.
In addition to its convenience, asphalt tape is also highly durable. It is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the road, including heavy traffic, extreme temperatures, and exposure to UV rays. The tape is resistant to cracking, pothole formation, and other forms of damage, ensuring that the pavement surface remains smooth and safe for an extended period. This durability also translates to cost savings, as there is less need for frequent repairs and maintenance.
Applications of Asphalt Tape
Asphalt tape can be used in a wide range of applications, making it a versatile solution for various pavement surfaces. One common use is in road markings, such as lane dividers, crosswalks, and stop lines. The tape’s high visibility and reflective properties make it an excellent choice for enhancing road safety, especially during nighttime or adverse weather conditions.
Another application of asphalt tape is in parking lot layouts. The tape can be used to create designated parking spaces, loading zones, and pedestrian walkways. By using different colors and patterns, property owners can effectively communicate traffic flow and parking regulations, enhancing overall organization and safety.
Furthermore, asphalt tape is an ideal solution for temporary pavement markings. Whether for construction zones, special events, or temporary detours, the tape can be easily applied and removed without leaving behind any residue or damaging the underlying pavement. This flexibility allows for efficient traffic management and reduces the need for costly pavement repairs in the future.
Maintaining and Extending Lifespan
While asphalt tape offers exceptional durability, proper maintenance is crucial to maximize its lifespan. Regular cleaning of the pavement surface, including the tape, is essential to remove debris, oil stains, and other contaminants. This helps to maintain the tape’s reflective properties and visibility, ensuring optimal safety for road users.
In addition to cleaning, periodic inspections are necessary to identify any signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Prompt repairs or replacements should be carried out to prevent further deterioration and maintain the effectiveness of the tape.
Another important aspect of maintenance is snow removal. During winter months, it is essential to use non-abrasive snow removal methods to prevent damage to the tape. Shoveling, snowplowing, or using snow blowers with plastic blades are recommended to avoid scratching or lifting the tape.
The Future of Asphalt Tape
The future of asphalt tape looks promising, with ongoing developments and advancements in the industry. Researchers and manufacturers are continuously exploring ways to improve the performance, durability, and versatility of the material.
One area of focus is the development of eco-friendly asphalt tape. With growing concerns for the environment, there is a demand for more sustainable pavement solutions. Manufacturers are developing tapes made from recycled materials or incorporating additives that reduce the carbon footprint of the product.
Furthermore, advancements in technology have led to the development of smart asphalt tape. These tapes are embedded with sensors that provide real-time data on pavement conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and traffic patterns. This data can help with predictive maintenance, allowing for proactive repairs and optimizing the lifespan of the pavement surface.

https://salguod.net/blog/2011/01/how_to_adjust_your_mirrors.shtml | 2024-04-25T13:27:45 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297295329.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425130216-20240425160216-00338.warc.gz | 0.944956 | 719 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__89856257 | en | A couple of months ago, Car and Driver wrote a short story about a 15 year old SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) paper that told how to adjust your car mirrors to eliminate the traditional ‘blind spot’ just behind your car in the adjacent lane. Funny thing was about 15 years ago I heard about this very technique on the old WXYT talk radio in Detroit on the excellent David Newman program. I gave it a try and have used it ever since.
While I appreciated Car and Driver’s write up (and their excellent graphic below), I felt like it really only adequately described the goal of adjusting the mirrors like this (no overlap between the center mirror and the outside mirrors) it didn’t give an adequate ‘How To’. It’s a slightly tedious process, but if you’re the only one driving the car, you only do it once.
The key to making the adjustment is to do so while the car is parked. Don’t do it while driving because it distracts you from the road and the changing scenery in the mirrors makes it hard to do. You’ll also need several points of reference about 2-3 car lengths behind the car, so an open lot isn’t the place to do it. Parked in my suburban driveway, the far curb or something in the neighbor’s yard across the street is good. Parked in a parking lot, the cars on the opposite side of the aisle are pretty good too.
Adjust your rear view mirror so you can see the entire rear window. Find something at the right edge of the inside mirror (or, more likely, at the right edge of the back window) at that 2-3 car length reference distance. Now, adjust the passenger side mirror so that the same object is at the left edge of the passenger mirror. You only want the tiniest sliver of duplication between the mirrors. The green car in the C&D illustration is a good example.
Now repeat the process for the driver’s mirror, using the left edge of the center mirror and the right edge of the driver’s mirror.
That’s it, no more blind spots.
There are some drawbacks:
- Some cars I’ve driven will not allow the mirrors to adjust outward adequately to achieve the full panorama. This is especially true if, like me, you need the seat all the way back.
- If you use an object too far behind you as a reference, the blind spot in traffic isn’t fully eliminated. After the initial setting, you should check the positions on the road and tweak it if necessary to eliminate the overlap.
- On a multi-lane road, this does NOT eliminate the blind spot for the cars two lanes over. Mostly that’s not an issue, but if you both change lanes at the same time or if you need to move over two lanes, it may be.
Once you get used to seeing only the passing grass in the side mirror, this technique is amazing. You now have a panoramic view to the rear between the three mirrors. As you drive, passing cars in the adjacent lanes will approach in the rear view mirror. As they leave that mirror, they’ll appear in the side mirror and as they leave that mirror they appear in your peripheral vision. They are never out of your sight. It’s beautiful.
