This move will increase direct imports from Vietnam by the US as cargo capacity improves from the direct lane. Based on an audit conducted in August of 2018 the FAA found that Vietnam met or exceeded the qualifications necessary for the status, which includes airworthiness licensing, operations in compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organizations.
While the improvement will originally apply to all passenger services, Vietnam Airlines has no shortage of cargo offerings that can start to fly direct to the US West Coast, though no US airlines have yet announced a direct return flight from the US on any coast. However the cargo hasn’t been sitting around, waiting patiently for this category. The US and Vietnam enjoy a healthy, growing cargo trade as recent years have seen carriers with Middle Eastern hubs such as Emirates and Asian hubs like Cathay Pacific utilizing their central location to ferry cargo between the nations.
Vietnam is expected to greet this expansion with greater investments in their airports and Hanoi (HAN) and Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to meet the demands of direct cargo operations to the United States. Construction programs are already underway to increase space for both airplanes and cargo operations, with new facilities breaking ground soon to alleviate congestion that’s hampering SGN services.
Here at Everglory we remain encouraged and hopeful at the rapid progression of Vietnam in the global arena. We have our own Vietnam office as well as deep heritage ties into our executive management that allows us the same reach and strength in service as the rest of the Pacific Rim. As currently the President of the United States and The Leader of North Korea meet in a summit in Hanoi, we are hopeful that Vietnam not only provides for great alternative production resources to supplement China amidst tariff negotiations and rising costs, but in the long term, expands in economic stability and resource in the entire global picture. | transportation_engineering |

With many years of experience, our Service Department has seen just about everything. However, there are some customer concerns we see frequently that can easily be minimized or avoided altogether.
1) Check engine light is on. Once this light is on we need to pull a code to start the diagnosis procedure on the vehicle. One of the most common causes for a "Check Engine" light being on is the gas cap not being sufficiently tightened after fueling the vehicle. All of the vehicles are equipped with a gas cap that makes a "click" or "ratcheting" noise when they have been tightened properly. If you are reinstalling the gas cap, please make sure to tighten it until this noise is heard.
2) Power windows inoperative. The master window switch in the driver's door is equipped with a "lock" button to disable the power windows. This is so small children do not inadvertently roll them down creating a safety issue. If the windows are inoperative this should be one of the first things the operator should look at in trying to self diagnose the problem.
3) Rear doors do not open from the inside. The rear doors on most passenger vehicles are equipped with "child safety locks" to disable the rear interior door release mechanism. This is a safety feature that keeps the doors from being opened unintentionally. The two-position switch is located on the door near the lock mechanism. Please check this switch if your rear doors do not open from the inside.
4) Dash lights not bright enough. There is a "rheostat switch" on the dash that controls the brightness of the gauges. If your gauges are too bright or to dim in night driving please check this switch and adjust according to preference.
5) Tire pressure warning light is on steady. This warning light looks like a cut away tire and indicates that one or more tire(s) are low on air pressure. To make this light go out the tire pressure needs to be checked and adjusted to the correct pressure. During this inspection check to see if there are any foreign objects in the tire(s) that may be causing a leak, also on some vehicles the spare tire is monitored as well, so all five tires will need to be checked and have the pressure set.
6) Tire pressure warning light is flashing. This is the same warning light listed previously but when it is flashing indicates a problem in the monitoring system. We will need to pull a code and diagnose the problem. The most likely cause is a bad (damaged/broken) tire pressure sensor.
7) Brakes make noise when stopping. This can be a sign of brake problems or just a side effect of poor brake maintenance. The brake system creates a lot of dust from the normal wear of the brake pads. If this is allowed to buildup over time it can create brake noises. We suggest that the brakes be cleaned thoroughly when washing your vehicle. The best way to do this is a self service "high pressure" wand type car wash. When washing the car pay particular attention to the openings in the wheels, you can see the brake calipers through them. Use the high-pressure wand and spray this area to remove this buildup of brake dust, you will see the black residue in the water as it is washed off of the brake components. If this does not reduce your brake noise the vehicle should be inspected for the need of a possible repair.
8) Power sliding door and or power tailgate inoperative. On some of our vehicles the sliding doors or tailgate (rear hatch) can be operated electronically. If this feature is not working please check the lockout switch usually located on the driver's side of the dashboard.
9) Rear wiper and rear defrost are inoperative. The vehicles that have a rear tailgate (hatch) and a rear window that rolls down are equipped with a safety switch that will not allow the defroster or rear wiper to operate if the window is not in the full up position. If the rear wiper and or rear defroster are not working please check the rear window to see that it is rolled up all the way by pushing the switch in the up direction. If this does not correct the concern we may need to inspect the vehicle further to determine the cause.
10) Low fuel warning light. This indicator light will come on when the fuel tank is low. On most vehicles you have approximately 50 miles of reserve fuel and should refuel as soon as possible.
At the first signs of vehicle distress, remember to check this list. But remember, no matter the problem we are always happy to assist you. If you have doubts, questions or concerns, call the service department at 1-800-584-0716 or schedule an on-line appointment. | transportation_engineering |

In particular, new paving solutions are targeting, like other construction approaches, the fulfilment of one or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), among them the Sustainable cities and communities one. The main trends of the post-COVID era are still made fluid by the uncertainties of the on-going geo-political crisis, but the focus on sustainability and recycling are still of main concern across Europe and beyond. In the light of the above, the proposed talk will identify some recent tested technologies and techniques that include the use of larger and larger quantities of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavements in new constructions and maintenance works and the construction of functional pavements contributing to the reduction of noise emissions and the mitigation of the impermeabilization of public surfaces that is typical of traditional road pavements. Examples of experimental applications and laboratory/in situ assessment of their effectiveness will be presented and discussed, showing the feasibility of solutions that have high Technological Readiness Level. | transportation_engineering |

Findings below show that at the same engine speed, the hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide in the emission gas dropped significantly after using Emi-Guard. The hydrocarbons fell from 35 to 2, a reduction of over 10 times. The toxic nitrogen oxide also reduced from 230 to 8.
Emi-Guard Test Results on a Suzuki Motor Boat
Results show that after using Emi-Guard, the boat speed increases with a lower RPM. It also shows that when the fuel molecules are smaller, with the same amount of fuel the boat can reach the destination quicker. We observed that when the fuel molecules are refined into smaller particles, the fuels are burnt more thoroughly, hence, increasing the overall performance of the engine.
Exhaust Emission Efficiency Test on Diesel Engines
A test on the exhaust emission efficiency was done with the application of the Emi-Guard on diesel engines has shown to have a significant emission reduction effect. Data gathered from this test was done by comparing two same model new engines, with one fuelled by a tank with Emi-Guard and another without.
The engine fuelled by the Emi-Guard tank has remarkably improved in every aspect, including a 13% average increase in power and a 12% reduction in fuel consumption. In addition, engine noise was reduced by 8db. These engines were in factory standard and theoretically working at their optimal level, yet the Emi-Guard can still boost their performance. | transportation_engineering |

Yesterday, Euro NCAP released the results for seats put through the organisation's first ever round of rear impact testing. Euro NCAP carried out whiplash tests on the front seats of 25 passenger cars crash-tested by the organisation during 2008. The results clearly reveal that most manufacturers still have a long way to go in improving seat design that will protect consumers from whiplash injury.
Only five out of the 25 seats tested and taken from new cars received Euro NCAP's best score with a 'good' or green result. These five cars were the Volvo XC60, Alfa Romeo Mito, Volkswagen Golf VI, Audi A4 and Opel Insignia. This green result reflects a state of the art performance in whiplash protection. Euro NCAP notes the good development strategies that these carmakers have adopted to prevent whiplash, but is concerned by the surprisingly low number of seats receiving a good result, when these cars are newly available on the market. Eight seats of the same 25 were rated as 'poor' or 'red' meaning that the seat occupant has a significantly higher risk of developing a long term injury in the case of a low speed rear end collision. These cars were the Daihatsu Cuore, Citroen Berlingo, Hyundai i10, Citroen C5, Ford Kuga, Daihatsu Terios, Peugeot 308CC and the Suzuki Splash.
Euro NCAP's test procedure was developed to take into account both the geometrical aspects of the seat, the size and shape of the head restraint and its proximity to the occupant, and its dynamic performance during an actual crash test. This dynamic performance is assessed using a seat mounted on a sled test, subjected to low, moderate and higher test severities representing a range of crash forces causing injury. Some of the seats that received Euro NCAP's worst result, with a 'poor' or 'red' score, provided protection at the lower test severity, but yielded excessively at the higher test severity leading to a zero score.
An example of this performance is the Daihatsu Terios. Three of the eight seats that achieved a 'red' result were from cars that were awarded five stars in Euro NCAP's Adult Occupant protection rating during 2008. These cars were the Citroen C5, Ford Kuga and the Peugeot 308CC. If judged under Euro NCAP's new rating scheme in 2009, the overall rating for these vehicles would be significantly affected by the low scores received in this test. As from 2009, the new Rear Impact (Whiplash) test will automatically be included as part of Euro NCAP's first area of assessment Adult Occupant Protection.
Of the 25 seats, 12 models received a 'marginal' or 'orange' result, indicating that although these seats incorporated some beneficial qualities, additional improvement was necessary. It is interesting to note that the price of the vehicle does not seem to be reflected in the performance of the seat. Both expensive and cheaper cars did well and not so well in this test. For example, the pro-active head restraints such as those equipped in the BMW X3 and the Mercedes Benz M-Class did not fully live up to their claims.
Dr Michiel Van Ratingen, Secretary-General of Euro NCAP says "The importance of this new Euro NCAP test has just been underlined with the release of these results. A consumer would never know how a seat would perform without this test. Buying a five star award winner will not guarantee that you have a good seat that will protect you from a potential whiplash injury. Euro NCAP's new test will certainly encourage manufacturers to think again about seat design."
Euro NCAP releases the results for this first ever round of Rear Impact (Whiplash) testing today at a special launch held at Thatcham, the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre in the UK - one of Euro NCAP's accredited laboratories.
Whiplash, caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the spine, can lead to long painful and debilitating symptoms over many years. Whiplash is not uncommon in frontal and side impact accidents, but more often occurs in low speed, rear end collisions in urban environments. Whiplash is difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat, and is also expensive. Soft issue neck injuries currently cost European society billions of euros annually. It has been shown that this type of physical complaint accounts for
the majority of the total cost of personal injury claims. The frequency of whiplash and its cost to European society has motivated Euro NCAP to integrate a new rear impact test into its crash test programme.
First results for vehicles tested under Euro NCAP's new rating system will be released in February 2009. From this date, consumers should look out for the new overall Euro NCAP star rating for their vehicle.

It was fascinating to watch the ships come in. The containers would be unloaded by the giant Wharf Cranes at incredible speed, then moved into the stacks by the lanky yellow Straddle Carriers and, later, carefully placed onto waiting trains by the Reach Stacker. Operations would continue all hours of the night so that the ships could get on their way as soon as possible.
Being near to the port also meant being near to the railway line, specifically Auckland’s Eastern Line that runs between Britomart and Orakei. There were many trains going past every day. Mostly commuter trains (that changed from being diesel to electric while we were there), but also heavy freight and specialist trains like the Northern Explorer.
When I was planning Arohana, I knew that my layout was going to have containers. They’re a major component for rail (and in Auckland’s case, road as well)…
And after a bit of researching on the internet, I came across a website based in Holland that was selling 1:120 scale containers for a very reasonable price. They even had some familiar brands which would really make the layout look realistic. https://www.eurotrainhobby.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=container
The package took a while to arrive, as I believe they were waiting for all the stock to be available. But I was in no rush, so it was ok.
Firstly, the containers are very detailed. They’re made from molded plastic, have all the ribbing and doors, markings, etc. and even stack nicely into each other. They did need some weathering to get that authentic look, which I was able to do pretty quickly with some brown paint and a fine paintbrush.
Eventually I’d like to get some PK wagons to haul these around, but in the meantime they can just sit on the layout.

No one styles or engineers a trike better than we do at Grinnall Specialist Cars. That’s why our BMW R1200C three-wheeled motorcycle trike has been a best seller for us for nearly a decade.
The Trike-I (launched in 2000) was the first in a growing line of Grinnall trikes. Based on the BMW R1200C cruiser range, it was styled by Steve Harper who also penned the Scorpion-III and Scorpion-IV. His work blends perfectly with the styling of the R1200C and the finished product looks like a Bavarian original.
The sleek bodywork hides a carefully designed chassis, hand-crafted in 1-inch diameter, 12 gauge steel tube. The Grinnall fabrication is powder-coated and bolts onto the BMW sub-frame and engine frame to make an extremely rigid structure.
A new CNC billet top yoke resets the steering geometry, ensuring smooth and safe cornering without shoulder wrenching effort from the rider. The R1200C is fitted from new with BMWs own Tele-Lever front wishbone. This system is ideally suited to a three-wheeled layout and one of the reasons we chose this motorcycle as our first trike donor. The R1200C-Trike is the easiest trike to handle and is ideal for beginners or individuals wanting an easy to handle machine.
Other features include rear disc brakes with billet calipers and braided hoses and a sophisticated independent double wishbone rear suspension with in-board dampers and anti-roll-bar. Front braking is the standard 305mm BMW set-up.
Optional reverse: electric or mechanical.
We offer a choice of wheels: Rimstock one-piece blends nicely with the front or if your machine has 3-spoke wheels, we offer a 3-piece billet wheel that duplicates the BMW style. The same option is offered for the Montauk and CL 5-spoke versions.
A luggage rack provides a platform for a GIVI 55 litre case. An optional low luggage platform can be used for an additional bag such as a waterproof Ortlieb (up to 70 litres) or GIVI case. There is a further 26 litres of storage within the body-work in the drop down tail box.
The Trike-1 uses a stainless steel exhaust hidden inside the body, which features a slash-cut chrome tail pipe exiting the centre of the tail.
BMW ceased production of the R1200C in 2005. The Trike-I is therefore only available fully assembled onto a used low mileage donor bike sourced and supplied by us. Or, it can be factory assembled onto your own R1200 C/CL/Montauk.
99% of our UK supplied BMW trikes are factory built. The semi knocked down kit is designed for easy assembly worldwide, and for export is delivered in a wooden box, door to door. All parts included take just 25 hours to assemble. It’s a fully bolt on kit, requiring no special tools, and is easily reversible to two wheels if required. All body panels are 2-pack painted in your standard bike colour or custom painted. The chassis and fabricated parts are powder coated in silver polyester. The new CNC aluminium billet yoke and rear uprights are anodized and fully rose jointed for adjustment.
In the words of MCN: “Riding trikes is about being an individual. And that’s why we all ride … it’s a party on three wheels.” | transportation_engineering |

I’ve bought a few books about them, ridden quite a lot of them, taken photos of them, and over a two-month period I took video of the entire length of the Fukushima Kōtsū Iizaka Line.
The Iizaka Line is a relatively short 9.2 km train line that connects Fukushima station to the onsen resort town of Iizaka in the north. Due to the dense amount of stations and the large amount of crossings along the length of the line, the train doesn’t really go very fast for most of its run.
Actually, back when I used to go to a school in Iizaka I’d ride my bike instead of taking the train. Most of the length of the line runs parallel to Prefectural Route 3, so on the way home I’d sometimes wait for a train to depart from Iizaka to Fukushima then race it for the whole length of the line. Unless I happened to get really unfavorable red lights, I’d win the race more often than not.
The line became a little bit more known in the days following March’s earthquake for being one of the very first train lines in the area to resume service when it reopened two days after the quake. It’s not the most glamorous of trains, but it gets the job done. Here’s the entire line, from Fukushima Station to Iizaka Onsen Station. The actual train runs for 23 minutes, but I cut out time stopped at stations and got it down to 14 and a half minutes. | transportation_engineering |

Some cars do not have enough trunk space to fit a mobility scooter unless it is disassembled. But no matter what your situation, there is a way in which your scooter can be transported.
Breaking The Scooter Down
Many mobility scooters can be broken down easily into five parts so they can fit into most cars. Then, part of the scooter can be stored in the trunk and another part can be placed in the back seat.
Another challenge is carrying and assembling a mobility scooter. Individual parts can weigh as much as 50 pounds. It is also necessary to kneel and to lift the scooter at least two feet off the ground. If this is too heavy for the operator, it might be necessary for someone to accompany the operator to put together the mobility scooter for him or her. There are also some smaller scooters that weigh less, but these scooters are also limited in the weight of the passenger that can be carried.
Using A Scooter Lift
If you are driving a larger vehicle, such as a truck or SUV, a scooter lift can be kept in the trunk of the vehicle allowing the scooter to be raise and lowered without any modifications.
Towing The Scooter With A Trailer
If you must use a very large scooter, you may need to attach a trailer to the back of your vehicle. Make sure that your vehicle is rated to pull the type of trailer that is compatible with your scooter.
Safely Arriving At The Destination
When being transported, the scooter should never be occupied. If the user struggles to move from the mobility scooter to the driver or passenger seat, someone will need to travel with the user to assist him or her.
Maneuvering The Scooter Through Crowded Locations
Many mobility scooters are designed to fold so they can be easily wheeled around like luggage. This makes it easier for moving the scooter through areas where a mobility scooter is not practical, such as airports.
Consulting With Your Mobility Scooter Company
The company that sells your mobility scooter, such as Access Mobility Products, will likely send a consultant who can inform you on the best way you can transport your scooter based on your mode of transportation and your abilities. | transportation_engineering |

However, the fueling environment is complex: there are multiple vehicles that must refuel, multiple fueling sources, and vehicles are constantly in motion. Fortunately, real-time mapping and tracking of vehicles and fuel sources can help solve this complex problem. We marshaled and presented this information to operators and supervisors to solve this refueling problem efficiently.
Along with Caterpillar, we have developed a solution to help the vehicle operators of Caterpillar to optimize their refueling problems. We help them by providing a mobile application using which they can track their current fuel level and book a slot at the nearest gas station or request a fuel truck to refuel their vehicle. | transportation_engineering |

San Francisco has two types of vintage transportation in operation today. A ride on the city’s famous cable cars is high on the list of most visitors. People love to stand on the running boards as they travel up and over the hills while a gripman rings the familiar bells. But also interesting and fun to experience are the city’s fleet of vintage streetcars from around the world.
These “museums in motion” run on the F-line along the Embarcadero to Fisherman’s Wharf and down Market Street to the Castro District.
In 1892 the first streetcars in San Francisco began operating south on Steuart Street from Market Street. Service reached a peak in the 1920s with 50 lines in operation, but by 1982 the last of the lines went into the subway system and the streetcars were retired.
A resurgence of the streetcar began in 1983 when Mayor Dianne Feinstein and business leaders introduced the Historic Trolley Festival. The festival brought vintage streetcars from around the world to San Francisco. It was supposed to be a one-time event, but was so popular that it was repeated and eventually led to full-time operation of the F-Market streetcar line in 1995. In March 2000, the F-line expanded service along the Embaracdero to Fisherman’s Wharf. Up to 20 of the fleet are in operation every day.
The San Francisco Railway Museum is a small visitor center that complements the actual experience of riding on one of the streetcars. Inside you’ll find souvenirs, historic information, old railway system artifacts, and a replica of the motorman’s platform of a 1911 streetcar. It’s located at the Steuart Street F-line stop near the Embarcadero, across from the Ferry Building. Admission is free.

For those who have been reading the several opinion scribbles I have posted regarding Russia business and my take on it, you probably noticed a shift towards Russia’s Far East. Geopolitics aside, the pragmatic business reasons for the steadily developing infrastructure of Russia’s eastern regions is no mystery or enigma. It is happening and the pace is quite dynamic even while remaining largely unreported. It remains under the popular business radars of our English-speaking world.
Aside from the Russian North Sea Route, or the several massive bridge building projects that are now underway, the tried and true Trans-Siberian Rail route has achieved a historic “first” just this week, (again with geopolitics aside).
Two Russian companies (FESCO and RZD Logistics) inaugurated in the Port of Yokohama Japan the first non-test shipment of goods containers from Japan. This is the start of what will evolve to be a regular intermodal transit service from Japanese ports to European countries via the Trans-Siberian Railway, or what some are calling the Trans-Siberian Land Bridge.
The future of regularly scheduled transit of goods from Japanese ports, trans-shipped overland through Russia to Europe begins. The first shipment is scheduled to be delivered in Europe within 25 days. Once run-in, the transit time will be approximately 20 days from Japan port to receiving points in Europe. Japanese businesses hold high hopes they will be able to regularly access this new commercial potential before the end of summer, hopefully before the 4th Eastern Economic Forum on September 11, 2019 in Vladivostok.
Why is this a big deal? To put some perspective on this business, it is over 2 times faster than sending the same goods by sea as has been traditionally done, it is also less costly and safer. The movement looks like this: Containers from Japan arrive at the port of Vladivostok, then are transferred to rail platforms which will take them through Russia to Brest. There to be loaded onto rail platforms for European destinations via Poland.
The future of steadily increasing growth of container transit traffic through the territory of Russia is significant, with Chinese goods maintaining a dominant share. Nonetheless, with the new Japan route now opening there will be an inevitable increase in transit cargo from both Japan and Korea through the territory of the Russian Federation. This is a niche that will be filled in time, especially if one considers that the total volume of containerized freight between Japan and Korea with Europe is about 5 million 20-foot containers (TEU) per year, it is not a stretch of imagination that 250,000 TEU or more per year will be using this new trade path in the nearest future. This is without a doubt a major, yet largely ignored growth area for international business, but not for long. | transportation_engineering |

On December 6, 2021, Firestone Liberia joined with Government of Liberia officials to commemorate the opening of the reconstructed Du River Bridge, a critical thoroughfare connecting major centers of commerce within the country.
The Du River Bridge collapsed in 2017 as a result of heavily loaded trucks transporting material for the Roberts International Airport runway project. Originally scheduled to open in 2020, the completion of the project was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic.
The reconstruction effort involved a partnership between the Government of Liberia and Firestone Liberia to provide the USD $1.3 million in funding for the bridge reconstruction and associated civil works. In turn, the government will provide tax relief to Firestone Liberia for a portion of the project expense. | transportation_engineering |

The stock Honda design uses two thin steel rectangles to anchor the front of the engine to the frame. The billet aluminum brace slips between these frame tubes and effectively ties the down tubes together at the front engine mount. This brace helps prevent the steering head/frame from twisting during hard cornering and braking. Since the brace is located relatively close to the steering head, it acts as a stressed member, completely linking with the solid engine mounts under and to the rear of the motor. This frame brace will add an extra bit of stiffening structure to help keep the wheels in line under spirited riding conditions! The tapered brace itself is an easy install and utilizes the stock steel mounting bolts. The Honda front motor mounts are retained, the tapered aluminum brace simply slides up between them and is bolted in place. | transportation_engineering |

Laing O’Rourke joint venture LM has completed the installation of a 65-metre bridge, spanning the width of the M42, in just two days and ahead of schedule as the motorway reopened to road users today (9 August) 22 hours earlier than planned. The bridge is the first permanent structure to be delivered for HS2.
In an engineering feat led by British engineering specialist Expanded, working on behalf of HS2 enabling works contractor, LMJV (Laing O’Rourke and J. Murphy & Sons Joint Venture), the 2,750 tonne bridge structure was carried along the motorway on a self-propelled modular transporter. The 448-wheel transporter took just one hour and 45 minutes to move the bridge span 150 metres into position, where it was affixed to a composite concrete deck to complete the overall bridge structure.
The successful installation marks the completion of the first of four bridges to be built close to the new Interchange Station. It will form part of the major remodelling of the regional road network to improve the circulation of traffic around the HS2 railway line and connect the existing road network to the new Interchange Station.
This new road bridge is the first permanent structure to be installed along the route of Britain’s new railway, so today represents an important milestone for the project and the West Midlands region.
“Constructing the bridge off site and using innovative engineering practices to install it over the motorway enabled us to carry out the work in just two days, keeping disruption to a minimum for road users.”
This is British construction design and engineering innovation at its finest. Major components of the bridge and its supports were built offsite under safe, high quality conditions, then transported to site for assembly. Advanced digital capabilities allowed us to design all elements of the structure in a virtual world, before building it for real. Great work by the team for delivering the placement ahead of schedule!”
The new road bridge over the M42 was built using a Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) strategy. Expanded Structures led the construction programme on site, with 1,610 tonnes of precast and insitu concrete delivered, including 115 modular abutment shells and 298 precast deck components.
These major structural elements of the bridge supports and deck were made at Laing O’Rourke’s Centre for Modern Construction (formerly EIP) in Nottinghamshire. Regional supplier Cleveland Bridge supplied 1,130 tonnes of steel plate girders.
The modular bridge strategy has been developed by Expanded over several years and was successfully implemented on several major projects, such as the A453 upgrade and the Staffordshire Alliance upgrade to the West Coast Main Line. Digital design and modular construction methodology have the potential to dramatically improve delivery on major infrastructure projects.
Offsite manufacturing and modular construction offer substantial benefits in terms of greater efficiency, higher quality, safety, and reduced time on site and disruption to local communities and road users. By delivering factory made components and assembling them on site, we have constructed abutment walls in 5 days, compared to between 8-12 weeks for traditional methods, achieved with a site team averaging just eight operatives.”
Later this year, a similar operation will take place to position a bridge over the A446, also as part of remodelling of road networks around the future Interchange Station. The LM team will also be installing two further bridges which will span the high-speed line itself.
Mr Thurston was joined on site to observe the bridge being moved into place by West Midlands Mayor, Andy Street; Solihull MBC leader, Councillor Ian Courts; MP for Meriden, Saqib Bhatti, Midlands Connect’s Director, Maria Machancoses and Nick Brown, Chair of the Urban Growth Company. The delegation joined forces to mark the engineering milestone, recognising it as an important first step in cementing the West Midlands’ status at the heart of the HS2 network.
Seeing major construction activity like this in Solihull is hugely encouraging as it shows HS2 is now truly underway. In just a few years, the HS2 station at Interchange and further investments in public transport will help make Solihull one of the best-connected places in the UK.
“Today’s work also comes at a critical time for the West Midlands, as we look to bounce back economically from the coronavirus crisis. Major infrastructure projects like HS2 have a critical role to play as they help stimulate demand and create and secure local jobs for local people.”
Over 9,000 people and 2,000 UK businesses have been part of the HS2 journey so far, and it is estimated that the project will support at least another 20,000 roles as it hits peak construction. | transportation_engineering |

The aim is to remove 80% in the average diesel particulate (matter) emissions and although a great concept, it brings about a whole new line of problems. We are taking calls constantly from anxious customers and garages across the country when their DPF light is illuminated on the dash, indicating that there is at least a partial blockage in the DPF system.
If the majority of journeys are city based, short or stop/start, or a combination of them all, then the filter will not be able to regenerate, the honeycomb will block with soot and a DPF warning light will illuminate on the dash board, in some cases the car may enter Limp Mode to protect both the DPF and the engine from damage.
But the story does not end there; the result of the regeneration is ash, over a period of time the ash resulting from correct regeneration accumulates inside the filter, a correctly operating filter will eventually block with ash, something usually between 70,000 and 100,000 miles.
Regular filter cleaning will help:
- Reduce engine emissions
- Reduce ash build up in the filter
- Extend the life of the Diesel Particulate Filter
- Keep vehicle running costs down
- Improve overall fuel economy
- Maintain an efficient engine | transportation_engineering |

Allen, The British Industrial Revolution in Global Perspective (Cambridge University Press, 2009).
The steam engine was the most revolutionary invention of the Industrial Revolution. It powered a new generation of industrial machinery, and it gave rise to two transportation technologies, railways and steamships, that stitched the world together.
The Experimental Basis of Steam Power
A series of experiments in the middle of the seventeenth century had shown that the atmosphere had weight. This weight could be measured by the height of the mercury column in Torricelli’s barometer: the weight of the column exactly balanced the weight of the atmosphere.
In 1672 Otto von Guericke showed that the atmosphere’s weight could be made to perform work. He fitted a piston into a fixed cylinder that was closed at the bottom and open at the top. One end of a rope was attached to the top of the piston. After passing through a pair of pulleys fixed above the cylinder, the other end of the rope was attached to a weight. The experiment began with the piston at the top of the cylinder and the weight suspended in the air. Then von Guericke pumped the air out of the cylinder. As the air pressure below the piston fell, the weight of the atmosphere drove the piston downwards, drawing the rope through the pulleys and causing the weight to rise. A weight had been moved through a distance: work had been done.
In 1675 Denis Papin employed a different method for reducing the pressure below a piston. He filled the cylinder with steam rather than air, and then used cold water to condense the steam, reducing the pressure inside the cylinder and allowing atmospheric pressure to push the piston downwards. As in von Guericke’s experiment, the work was done by the atmosphere, not by the steam.
These experiments were the key to solving a serious problem confronting Britain’s coal miners. The mine shafts extended below the water table, so that water naturally seeped into the mines. Keeping the mines relatively dry was a task that never ended. In just one colliery in Warwickshire, 500 horses were employed to lift water out of the mine.1 Thomas Newcomen, an ironmonger whose firm designed and built machines for the mining industry, thought that he could find a better solution. He envisioned a machine that repeatedly performed von Guericke’s experiment, with the water in the mines being the weight lifted. Newcomen began experimenting with this concept in 1700 and installed his first commercial machine in 1712.
Newcomen’s “atmospheric engine” is shown above. The ghost of von Guericke’s apparatus is still visible. The rope has been replaced with a pivoting beam. The lefthand side of the beam is heavier than the righthand side, so that it has a tendency to drop. The weight has been replaced by a pump. The piston and the cylinder are still there, but with three added valves: a steam intake (V), a water injector (V’), and a waste water drain (V’’). There is a firebox and boiler (A) below the cylinder, and a water reservoir (C) above it. The engine is operated by opening and closing the valves.
- Begin with the injector and waste water valves closed and the steam intake valve open. Gravity pulls the lefthand side of the beam down, lifting the piston to the starting position of von Guericke’s experiment. As the piston rises, steam is drawn in from the boiler to fill the space below the piston.
- Close the steam intake valve, and briefly open the water injector valve. Gravity forces a spurt of cold water into the cylinder, condensing the steam. There is now minimal pressure inside the cylinder, so atmospheric pressure pushes the piston down, causing the lefthand side of the beam to rise. As it rises, the attached chain pump lifts a volume of water.
- Open the waste water drain valve, allowing the accumulated water to escape from the cylinder, and then close it.
- Open the steam intake valve once again, equalizing the pressure on the top and bottom of the piston. Now the only pressure acting on the engine is gravity, which pulls down the lefthand side of the beam, and we are back in the first step.
The settings of the valves were linked to the position of the beam, so they opened and closed automatically.
Newcomen’s early engines were hideously inefficient, burning 45 pounds of coal for every horsepower-hour of energy. At this rate of consumption they could be used only in coal mines, where they burned the coal that was too fragmented to be sold. Numerous small improvements introduced by the engines’ operators gradually reduced fuel consumption to 30 pounds per horsepower-hour. Then, between 1769 and 1772, the engineer John Smeaton systematically fine-tuned all of the components of the atmospheric engine, further reducing fuel consumption to 17.6 pounds per horsepower-hour.
The next major innovation was James Watt’s separate condenser (1776). The separate condenser adds a step to the atmospheric engine’s cycle. After the piston has been drawn to the top of the cylinder, a valve to a low-pressure chamber is opened. The steam is drawn into this chamber, and then the valve is closed. In the cylinder the reduced pressure below the piston allows atmospheric pressure to drive the piston downward, just as it did in Newcomen’s engine. Meanwhile, the steam that has been drawn into the chamber is condensed with cold water and drained away, leaving the chamber again at low pressure. The use of the separate condenser means that the cylinder is not alternately heated by steam and cooled by water, which would waste energy. Smeaton found that a Watt engine burned 8.8 pounds of coal per horsepower-hour, exactly half the consumption of his own “best practice” Newcomen engine. The operators of Watt’s engine subsequently made many small improvements that reduced its fuel consumption to 3.5 pounds per horsepower-hour by the middle of the 1830s.
The early atmospheric engines were used only in pumping operations because their irregular motions made them unsuitable for powering other types of equipment. The waterwheel, which delivered smooth and steady power, continued to be the preferred power source at mills of all kinds. However, from the 1770s, inventors began to search for improvements in the atmospheric engine that would allow it to replace the waterwheel. A flywheel was added to the engine in 1779, and in 1780 James Pickard used a combination of flywheel and crank to produce rotary motion, so that the engine could be connected to a factory’s power shaft. James Watt produced a quartet of innovations:
- A double-acting cylinder, in which steam was injected at both ends to produce two power strokes per cycle rather than one.
- “Parallel motion” rods, which replaced the chain that connected the piston to the beam, so that the beam could be both driven upwards and pulled down.
- “Sun and moon” gears, which turned the engine’s reciprocal motion into rotary motion without infringing on Pickard’s patents.
- A centrifugal governor, which stabilized the speed of the engine by reducing the flow of steam when it ran too fast and increasing the flow when it ran too slow.
With these innovations the Watt engine was factory ready. It was first installed in a cotton mill in 1785. By 1800, 308 Watt engines had been sold to drive machinery, and a further 24 to power blowing engines, which were used to move large quantities of air in smelting operations.
The first high-pressure steam engine was built by Richard Trevithick in about 1800. It was perhaps the first true steam engine, in the sense that steam alone drove the piston. The pressure of the steam was less than two atmospheres,2 but this engine was lighter and more fuel efficient than the atmospheric engine.
Fuel efficiency was further increased by using steam expansively. The early engines had continued to inject steam into the cylinder until the piston reached the end of the cylinder. The later engines stopped injecting steam when the piston was perhaps a quarter of the way along the cylinder, and then the expansion of the steam drove the piston the rest of the way. Less fuel was burned because less steam was used. However, expansive steam also reintroduced the problem of temperature cycling in the cylinder. The pressure of the steam fell as it expanded, causing the temperature of the steam to fall. Exposure to cooler steam reduced the temperature of the cylinder, so that some of the energy in the next blast of steam was expended in reheating the cylinder. This problem was reduced by the compound engine, which was introduced by Arthur Woolf in 1813. In this engine the steam initially drives the piston in a high-pressure cylinder; but before its expansion is complete, the steam is led into a somewhat lower pressure cylinder where it expands further to drive the second piston. Most of the temperature variation is between the two cylinders, leaving more even temperatures within each cylinder.
The high-pressure engine was light, fuel efficient and adaptable. It was instrumental to the revolution in transportation.
Rails came before locomotives. British mines had to move their product overland in order to get it to market. Sometimes it was carried to a town or industrial center, but often it was carried to the nearest canal or river, water transport being much cheaper than land transport. Some mines further reduced their land transport costs by constructing “wagonways,” rail systems along which horse-drawn wagon trains carried the freight. The advantage of rail over road was reduced friction. The rails were wood, then wood with a top plate of metal, then cast iron, then wrought iron.
Collieries that had once used steam engines to pump water out of the mines were now using them to raise the coal to the surface. Using these engines to move coal overland must have been a fairly obvious next step; at any rate, a number of people began to experiment with “travelling engines,” including Richard Trevithick. However, it is George Stephenson who is most closely identified with the beginnings of commercial railways. He was employed as an engine-wright at a colliery when he designed the engine Blücher (1814), which was able to pull 30 tons of freight at a speed of four miles per hour. In 1821 Stephenson was hired to survey, and then build, a railway between a group of collieries in County Durham and the nearest port, Stockton. He then designed and built engines for the railway, including its first engine, Locomotion No. 1. When the Darlington-Stockton Railway opened for business in September 1825, it became the first commercial railway.
Stephenson also surveyed and built the railway connecting Manchester, the center of Britain’s cotton textile industry, with Liverpool, its largest port. The railway held a contest in 1829 to choose the supplier of its locomotives; that contest was won by Stephenson’s Rocket, which pulled twenty tons at speeds up to twenty miles per hour. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway opened the following year.
Railways were cheaper than horse transport, and had the potential to vastly increase the volume of freight — and people — that could be moved around Britain. There was a boom in railroad construction. Britain had 2,400 kilometers of railway line in 1840, and 30,100 kilometers in 1900.
While many of the technologies of the Industrial Revolution were not immediately adopted outside of Britain, railways were almost immediately built on the Continent. Railways were almost a necessity for an industrializing country. As Germany grew to be Britain’s foremost commercial competitor, it built railways even faster than Britain. Germany had 500 kilometers of railway line in 1840, and 51,700 kilometers in 1900. The Americas and Asia also quickly adopted the railway.
The steamboat, like the locomotive, was a fairly obvious application of the steam engine. There were a number of attempts to build practical steamboats in France, England and the United States during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The best method of propulsion was not immediately clear. John Fitch tried mechanized oars, but paddle wheels were dominant through much of the nineteenth century. The propellor was invented in 1827 by an Austrian, Josef Ressel, who shelved the concept after an unlucky trial. It was independently developed in Britain a few years later; its first use on a seagoing vessel was in 1833.
The steamboat was eagerly adopted in the United States, where the land was large and the population small. In 1807 Robert Fulton inaugurated the first commercial steamboat service, running between New York City and Albany. Within twenty years there were three hundred steamboats operating in North America. Steamboats and railroads competed for business; but rising population densities improved the economics of the railways, which eventually pushed aside the steamboats.
Britain’s rapid industrialization during the nineteenth century dramatically increased the volume of its trade, both imports of raw materials and exports of finished goods. Steamships had the potential to carry these products rapidly and cheaply. Many engineers were engaged in their development, but Isambard Kingdom Brunel was pre-eminent among them. He recognized that increasing the dimensions of a ship increased its cargo capacity by a greater proportion than it increased the drag on the ship’s hull: a bigger ship was a more efficient ship. This idea led him to build the steamship Great Western, which had a wood hull and was driven by both paddle wheels and sails. It was the largest ship in existence when it was launched in 1838. It could cross the Atlantic in fifteen days and was commercially successful. Brunel’s next steamship, Great Britain, was even larger. It was also more modern, with an iron hull and a propellor. Brunel then built Great Eastern, which was three times larger than Great Western, and driven by a combination of paddle wheels, propellors and sails. Great Eastern was not a commercial success as a passenger liner; after a refit, it was used to lay the first successful transatlantic telegraph cable.
A steam turbine directs a continuous flow of high pressure steam across a rotor (or, in the modern iteration, a set of rotors) attached to an axle. The steam spins the rotor and its axle, so that unlike the steam engine, the turbine has native rotary motion.
The steam turbine was developed in 1884 by a British scientist, Charles Parsons, who was probably inspired by the water turbines that had been developed by French scientists earlier in the century. It operated at high speeds and produced high torque, making it the ideal power source for a dynamo. He sold rights to his invention to George Westinghouse, who scaled up the technology to meet the rapidly growing demand for electricity. This technology has yet to be superceded: today’s thermal power plants still use steam turbines to turn dynamos. Likewise, a nuclear power plant is little more than a fancy boiler serving a steam turbine connected to a dynamo.
Parsons believed that the steam turbine could replace the steam engine in ships, and set up a company to develop the marine turbine. In 1894 the company commissioned a trial ship, Turbinia, that proved to be exceptionally fast. The first turbine-powered merchant ship was launched only a few years later. After some experimentation with smaller vessels, the British navy launched the turbine-powered battleship HMS Dreadnought in 1906. This ship was so superior to every earlier battleship that it caused a naval arms race around the world. A decade later it was obsolete. | transportation_engineering |

It is a fundamental specification for combustion engines. The dynamic compression ratio is a more advanced calculation which also takes into account gasses entering and exiting the cylinder during the compression phase.
Most engines used a fixed compression ratio, however a variable compression ratio engine is able to adjust the compression ratio while the engine is in operation. The first production engine with a variable compression ratio was introduced in 2019.
Effect and typical ratios
A high compression ratio is desirable because it allows an engine to extract more mechanical energy from a given mass of air–fuel mixture due to its higher thermal efficiency. This occurs because internal combustion engines are heat engines, and higher compression ratios permit the same combustion temperature to be reached with less fuel, while giving a longer expansion cycle, creating more mechanical power output and lowering the exhaust temperature.
In production gasoline (petrol) engines from the past 20 years, compression ratios are typically between 8∶1 and 12∶1. Several production engines have used higher compression ratios, including:
- Cars built from 1955–1972 which were designed for high-octane leaded gasoline, which allowed compression ratios up to 13∶1.
- Some Mazda SkyActiv engines released since 2012 have compression ratios up to 14.0∶1. The SkyActiv engine achieves this compression ratio with ordinary unleaded gasoline through improved scavenging of exhaust gases (which ensures cylinder temperature is as low as possible before the intake stroke), in addition to direct injection.
- The 2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale also has a compression ratio of 14.0∶1.
When forced induction (e.g. a turbocharger or supercharger) is used, the compression ratio is often lower than naturally aspirated engines. This is due to the turbocharger/supercharger already having compressed the air before it enters the cylinders. Engines using port fuel-injection typically run lower boost pressures and/or compression ratios than direct injected engines because port fuel injection causes the air/fuel mixture to be heated together, leading to detonation. Conversely, directly injected engines can run higher boost because heated air will not detonate without a fuel being present.
Higher compression ratios can make gasoline engines subject to engine knocking (also known as "detonation", "pre-ignition" or "pinging") if lower octane-rated fuel is used. This can reduce efficiency or damage the engine if knock sensors are not present to modify the ignition timing.
Diesel engines use higher compression ratios than Gasoline engines, because the lack of a spark plug means that the compression ratio must increase the temperature of the air in the cylinder sufficiently to ignite the diesel. Compression ratios are often between 14∶1 and 23∶1 for direct injection diesel engines, and between 18∶1 and 23∶1 for indirect injection diesel engines.
Since diesel engines operate on the principle of compression ignition, a fuel which resists autoignition will cause late ignition, which can lead to engine knock. Diesel engines have a higher peak combustion temperature than gasoline engines, but the greater expansion means they eject less heat in their cooler exhaust.
Racing engines often run on high octane gasoline and can therefore use higher compression ratios. For example, motorcycle racing engines can use compression ratios as high as 14.7∶1, and it is common to find motorcycles with compression ratios above 12.0∶1 designed for 86 or 87 octane fuel. F1 engines come closer to 17∶1, which is critical for maximizing volumetric/fuel efficiency at around 18,000 RPM. | transportation_engineering |

14 June 2006
People Respond to Highways Challenge
The challenge is out. You can tell the Premier which crumbling highways you think he should travel this summer. Last week, the Official Opposition Saskatchewan Party invited the public to send in photos and testimonials of their worst highway via the Caucus website. From these submissions, the Saskatchewan Party will plan a summer driving tour for the Premier challenging him to drive on some of the province’s worst roads.
The response to date has been overwhelming. In the first week of the campaign, our highways site has received more than 1,000 hits and has garnered more than 60 invitations for the Premier. People from every corner of the province are sending photos and stories of highways that make one shudder. If there is one common concern people share in this province, it’s crumbling highways.
Among the highways with the most submissions to date are:
- Highway 368 near St. Brieux Highway
- Highway 310 north of Foam Lake
- ighway 32 from Leader to Swift Current
Bob Johnson from Foam Lake says he is concerned about the safety of those who travel Highway 310 on a daily basis, as well as the tourists that come to the area that might not come back. He writes:
"I also personally believe that the lack of funding or even a reply from the Minister of Highways explaining the government’s plan to fix the road shows the lack of regard the NDP have for those of us who choose to live in rural Saskatchewan.”
Melissa Gervais from Alameda writes:
“I invite our fine Premier to travel to Southeast Saskatchewan. Highway 18, 13, 9, 361, & 318 are all worth traveling. I encourage Calvert to drive his personal vehicle on all of these roads. These roads are beyond repair and are a disgrace for tourism dollars coming in from neighbouring Manitoba and the US. We are being ignored in the SE and we are fuelling the Saskatchewan economy with our oil and gas revenues.”
The Minister of Highways talked recently about Saskatchewan’s poor highways. Instead of offering solutions to fix the problem, he made excuses. He said, “We need to understand that what we have for a road system isn't sustainable.” For the current Highways Minister to simply make excuses demonstrates the lack of long-term planning and vision in the NDP government. Part of the reason the roads are as bad as they are today is because of 15 years of neglect from the NDP government – this isn’t a problem that has surfaced overnight or even in the last year.
What Saskatchewan needs is a government with a different vision where our roads are seen as assets and not liabilities. The Official Opposition Saskatchewan Party believes people of the province deserve safe roads and that roads are an important part of the provincial economy. We have a plan that includes dedicating, at a minimum, all provincial fuel taxes to transportation infrastructure, something that doesn’t happen under the NDP government. We believe the province must invest back into the roads of communities that contribute millions of dollars to the economy through industry and tourism. Unfortunately the NDP doesn’t see it that way.

Purchase expected to save College $34,000 annually in bus rental costs
The Blinn College Board of Trustees approved the purchase of a shuttle bus to transport student groups and athletic teams during its regular board meeting held tonight on the College’s Brenham campus.
The shuttle bus, which is expected to cost between $86,000 and $117,000 depending upon the model selected, could save Blinn $510,000 in charter bus rental costs over the course of its expected 15-year or 250,000-mile lifespan. Those savings have already included the cost of paying a driver stipend as well as maintenance, fuel and insurance costs.
The board also authorized the administration to seek bids for three Suburbans to replace the 15-passenger vans currently used for transporting student groups.
The board accepted the donation of a Sojin grand piano from Edward and Elizabeth Gaither to be used in the J. Hal and Allyne Machat Music Facility.
Blinn’s next board meeting will be held Nov. 20 on the Brenham campus. | transportation_engineering |

From increasing operational efficiency through fuel savings and reduced track maintenance, to saving money in rails and ties – friction management plays a major role.
To achieve these benefits, a proven robust application system is required. L.B. Foster’s PROTECTOR Series trackside systems are the industry standard. The PROTECTOR is designed to apply either gauge face grease or revolutionary Friction Modifiers, including KELTRACK and TOR Oils. This innovative system is easy to install and consistently delivers precise, controllable, and reliable application. Backed by the most knowledgeable service team in the industry, we have a solution that can be customized to fit your unique needs.
The heart of the system is the patented double gear pump, which ensures balanced outputs and reduces clogging. This robust gear pump has been reliably applying a wide range of friction control materials for over 5000 systems installed in the field today.
The brain of the system is the Digital Control Box, now available with Remote Performance Monitoring™ technology, which has the capacity to fine-tune the distribution of friction modifiers and lubricants through pump run time and activation intervals. RPM™ is a powerful tool that provides customers the capability to monitor and report uptime, maintenance concerns, and refilling requirements in order to proactively manage the equipment installed on track more efficiently.
Finally, the new generation of applicator bars incorporate L.B. Foster’s patent-pending foam technology. Both our Grease Guide and TOR Foam applicator bars deliver the friction materials exactly where they are required far more efficiently than any other applicator bar in the industry. All bars provide outstanding, even flow because they share our field-proven, balanced port design, along with patented streamlined channels with Teflon® coating, and a wear-resistant distribution blade with V-grooves.
|Application||Gauge Face / Top-of-Rail|
|Power||DC Solar / AC Power|
|Tank Capacity||200-800 lbs. (Grease) / 25-100 gal. (Friction Modifier)|
|Mounting Options||Wall Mount / Embedded / Between Tracks / Surface Mount|

|Smart Wheel Sensor||Standard Bi-Directional / One-Way|
|Consumption Rate||0.75 lbs /1000 Axles (Grease) / 0.5 L/1000 Axles (Friction Modifier)|
Hydraulic systems offer more simplicity when compared to Mechanical system yet are more affordable than the higher precision Electric Systems. Hydraulic systems minimize the number of moving parts, however with limited degree of application control, and are better suited to shock loading and higher speeds than mechanical systems.
The 761 Hydraulube applies lubricants to the gauge face of the rail and features a gear type pump similar to the Protector ® IV Friction Management System. However the gear pump used on the 761 Hydralube® is powered by a hydraulic motor that is part of a closed loop hydraulic system. The lubricant is available in 400 lb (200kg) and 800 lb (400 kg) capacities. The 761 Hydralube® is most effective in territory where speeds are between 25 and 50 mph (40 to 80 km/h).

Bicycle riding on the streets of Paris used to frighten me. Cycling is not new in Paris. The COVID lockdown and subsequent economic slowdown have created an opportunity for Mayor Anne Hidalgo to expeditiously add 400 miles of bike lanes to an already extensive network that she began in 2015.
A number of thoroughfares in Paris are now closed to automobile traffic, allowing only cyclists and pedestrians to gain access. Despite being called ‘transitional’, many believe these ‘COVID’ lanes are here to stay.
The Greening of Paris began in earnest with Mayor Hidalgo
Socialist Anne Hidalgo, supported by the Green Party, defeated her more conservative opponents to become the Mayor of Paris. Her platform was a promise to reduce carbon emissions by dramatically increasing the availability of bicycle lanes, and by reducing automobile and bus lanes. This was just before the Global Summit and the Paris Climate Accord of 2015.
Hidalgo’s platform melded perfectly with the 2015 Ecological Transition Law which mandated alternate energy sources.
- subsequent problems with the city’s bike-sharing program (Vélib),
- anger from the automobile lobby group and
- widespread frustration with a citywide construction plan (for the creation of these lanes),
- Hidalgo’s vision of a Paris free from harmful carbon emissions appeared to be popular as she set about delivering on her promise.
Fast forward toward the end of 2019, just before the world learned of something called COVID. Paris was immobilized by transit strikes due to protests against President Macron’s pension reform plan.
Suddenly, the availability of Hidalgo’s networks of bicycle lanes created an explosion in cycling!
In January of 2020, Hidalgo announced her Ville de Quart D’Heure plan. Residents could get to banks, doctors, grocery stores, and other necessary locations within 15 minutes of leaving home and without driving a car.
This urban reorganization would come at the expense of 72% of Paris’ on-street parking. Not everyone was happy with Hidalgo’s plan — the feud with automobile drivers was heating up.
A ‘greener, greater Paris’
Only days before the World Health Organization announcement of a COVID Worldwide Pandemic (on March 11 this year), a distinguished group of Industry and Political leaders assembled for their 2020 Global Cities Makers Forum in Paris.
The theme this year:
Urban Branding. Promoting a greener, greater Paris would mean promoting an innovative geo-thermal greater Paris brand.
Among the numerous urban planning projects being discussed was improving the co-existence between pedestrians and cyclists.
It’s worth noting here that another ongoing project, Europe’s largest urban project to date:
– ‘The Grand Paris Express’, was also on the agenda.
– COVID was not.
Paris reduced to bicycle pedal power
As early as 2010, Paris had approved plans for its metro expansion. ‘The Grand Paris Express’ is a comprehensive plan to connect all of Paris with the most sophisticated rail technology available. It has many moving parts including 68 new metro stations and 200 km of ‘extra-automated’ metro lines. Construction, which began in 2016, was to continue all the way to 2030. A big motivation for its partial completion was the upcoming 2024 Olympic and Para-Olympic games which would be hosted in Paris.
As Catherine Lescure, Directrice Régionale, Ile-de-France EDF said:
We must consider the …Games as an opportunity to showcase our improvements and to communicate them to the general public.
Meanwhile, the metro’s use had been declining rapidly in Paris (and around the world), with public transport down by 80% in some cities. As COVID, spread to become a worldwide pandemic, reluctance towards metro use grew. On April 8, the ‘Société du Grand Paris‘ – the body charged with delivering The Grand Paris Express, pulled the plug on all these projects for an indefinite period of time.’
So, the project sits completely idle.
The four new lines (15 (basically circling Paris), 16, 17 and 18), two extensions (11 and 14) and 68 new stations across the region are halted
Hidalgo anticipates… and acts
Simultaneously, automobile usage began to rise within Paris, as it was considered a more socially distant, safe method of travel for those who still commuted to work.
Would this trend continue even after workers left their homes for the office (assuming the pandemic subsides)? Mayor Hidalgo believed it very well might. Seizing the opportunity, Hidalgo ramped up efforts under the cloak of night.
She not only created 400 miles of new bike lanes, she used paint to create the appearance of permanence.
- In June of this year, two newsworthy events occurred almost simultaneously in Paris:
- First, a Paris automobile lobbying group filed with France’s highest administrative court against the city’s ‘anti-car approach’ which, they said “prevented people from using their preferred mode of transportation – namely, driving…”
- The second event that month was the re-election of Anne Hidalgo for a second term as the Mayor of Paris
Is the Bicycle in Paris the ‘New Normal’?
At least for the moment, the answer is yes.
While the metro in Paris will most certainly always be a component of commuter choice, it can be daunting for some. Furthermore, COVID has necessitated restrictions making it slower than before. One day, world travelers will return to the beautiful City of Light. Will we, the visitors, accept the challenge of circulating in the City by bicycle?
How about walking in Paris?
Walking the streets of Paris never gets old
Mayor Hidalgo has included provisions to accommodate pedestrians and indeed, to enhance the experience.
However, Paris is a thriving metropolis and one can never see it all.
Depending upon your time constraints, a fun bicycle ride on Hidalgo’s new bike lanes might be pleasant instead of frightening, like it used to be. In fact, some major thoroughfares such as Rue de Rivoli, adjacent to the Louvre have already been closed to automobile traffic altogether.
How can we prepare for our next Paris trip?
We could brush up on our bicycle skills at our local park before we travel,
Study route maps to learn new routes in Paris, and
when in Paris start by taking short trips on new bike lanes to gain confidence.
Paris bicycle revolution: what is your opinion?
Over the Summer months of 2020, Restaurants and Cafés were encouraged to open. They expanded their outdoor space in order to cope with the COVID restrictions. Many restaurants credit this move with saving their livelihood.
However, one Parisian driver had this to say:
If we drive out all cars, and it hits businesses… I fear we will see the desertification of the city centre… it will become nothing more than a theme park for tourists.

This project involved mapping of 5 rural roads in the Bergville area, Drakensberg, South Africa.
The purpose of the survey was to give the client an idea of the conditions and terrain on site and the services available so that they could design possible upgrades to the existing roads and footpaths. The roads totalled more than 25km, each section approximately 5km. The client required the project to be completed in 2 weeks.

The target of this thesis was to find an efficient way of working or a method that could be used for sorting out the operating profiles of diesel engines in a dredger vessel. The work focused on exploring the load profiles of the selected dredger vessel engines in their various usage scenarios. The engine parameter values were measured as a function of time. The obtained engine parameter values were collected by using a data logger. The AIS Marine Traffic vessel tracking data was evaluated in order to see whether it could be used for the same purpose. The reference material was collected by using the employer’s own internal databases, the literature of statistics and probability theory, as well as the literature of the marine industrial technology. In addition, the thesis deals with engine failures and engine wear by means of the reliability engineering methods that are based on the statistics and probability criteria. With these different reliability analysis tools, the wear and failure rates of the engine components can be predicted. Thereby, suitable maintenance intervals can be chosen or prolonged after necessary design improvements. Similar studies have not been made before.
This thesis was carried out as a part of the DIMECC S-STEP program, funded by the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation (Tekes) and by some companies. The result of the work showed that data logging is a useful tool for better understanding of how the engines are operated. This will enable better future prediction of engine failures and component wear.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are scheduled to launch the unpiloted H-II Transport Vehicle-9 (HTV-9) on a Japanese H-IIB rocket at 1:30 p.m. (2:30 a.m. Thursday, May 21, Japan time) from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan. The nickname for the craft is Kounotori (Konotori), or “white stork“.
The spacecraft will arrive at the station Monday, May 25. Live coverage of rendezvous and grapple will begin at 6:45 a.m. Capture of HTV-9 is scheduled to occur around 8:15 a.m. HTV-9 will approach the station from below and slowly make its way toward the orbital outpost. Expedition 63 Commander Chris Cassidy of NASA, with assistance from Russian Flight Engineer Ivan Vagner of Roscosmos, will operate the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm from the station’s cupola and grapple the 12-ton spacecraft.
Coverage of HTV-9’s final installation will resume at 9:30 a.m., when flight controllers in mission control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will take over robotic arm operations and berth HTV-9 to the Earth-facing port of the station’s Harmony module, where it will remain for two months. Harmony is the “utility hub” of the ISS.
The cargo craft will carry more than four tons of supplies, water, spare parts and experiment hardware for the station crew, including six new lithium-ion batteries needed to complete an overall update of the station’s electrical system. The batteries and corresponding adapter plates will replace aging nickel-hydrogen batteries for two power channels on the station’s far starboard truss segment (S6) through a series of spacewalks by the station’s crew members planned for later this year. This is the final set of new batteries to be launched to the station as part of an overall upgrade of its power system that began in January 2017.
This also will be the final flight of this class of resupply spacecraft, the Kounotori. The cargo craft launched on its maiden mission to the orbiting laboratory in September 2009. JAXA is developing a new class of HTV vehicles that will provide a reusable pressurized cargo section and the ability to carry more cargo due to its lighter weight.
NOTE – on May 28 NASA will air the docking of the SpaceX Crew Dragon, with NASA Astronauts. | transportation_engineering |

According to the paper, the high-speed train will be commercially operating by mid-2018.
The high-speed train will reduce the travel time between Casablanca and Tangier to 2 hours and 10 minutes from 4 hours and 45 minutes.
While the trains were bought from France, 90% of the civil engineering work was carried out by Moroccan companies
It is worth reminding that Morocco currently ranks first in Africa in terms of railway infrastructure.
The project has an estimated cost of MAD 20 billion ($2 billion).
The high-speed train is expected to carry up to seven million passengers in the first year.

During an “approach and landing” test, the spacecraft was dropped from a helicopter to fly back to a landing strip at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The company behind the space plane confirmed the successful test in a tweet on Saturday night, saying, “The Dream Chaser had a beautiful flight and landing!”
The company released no immediate, additional details about the test. (It promised more information Monday). But Saturday’s flight clearly marks a significant milestone for Dream Chaser and its manufacturer, Sierra Nevada Corporation. During the last free-flight test in 2013, the spacecraft had a problem with the deployment of its left landing gear, causing the plane to skid off the runway and leading to minor damage. | transportation_engineering |

It’s more like a roadway bridge. I found these postcards in my collection to use as a match to this week’s Sepia Saturday prompt. (see below)
This postcard shows the B&M (Boston & Maine) railroad tunnel under High Street in Newburyport, Massachusetts. The view is looking south toward Boston and toward the round house which was just past the tunnel.
The postcard below is of the same tunnel just looking north toward Maine and toward the passenger station in Newburyport. Notice the two dapper gentlemen posing in front of their shack. Presumably they were switch tenders awaiting orders for the switch in the foreground.
At some point the tunnel deemed a bottleneck, was widened to service two sets of tracks: one for northbound trains and one for southbound trains.
In 1965 the tracks north of Newburyport were abandoned and left to grow over. Just recently the rail line was converted to a rail trail providing recreation to the masses. The tunnel now provides shade and shelter to those hot days of biking. | transportation_engineering |

Navidium’s unique solutions also utilize big data.
Ships are no longer made of wood, but the development of the marine industry has by no means ended at iron ships. The digitalization on water has progressed, for example, by Finnish Navidium. The company’s unique technology helps ships reduce fuel consumption and, consequently, adverse emissions.
With the products developed by Navidium, ships can choose the optimal route based on real-time weather data and forecasts. Real-time information about frost, ice, wind and sea stream flows into the Navidium system from tens of thousands of observation points around the world. Regardless of the route, the fuel consumption is reduced thanks to Navidium’s optimization solution.
In addition to observing external conditions, the IoT implementation of the solution monitors the operation of the ship’s engine and power transmission with the power of hundreds of sensors and flow meters. Because the iron structures of the ships effectively block the passage of wireless signals, the data of the sensors passes securely into the computer onboard, along the cables. This information will continue to run on the Navidium server, either via a mobile or a satellite connection, depending on the ship’s location.
The benefits of the system are obvious. For example, vessels operating in the Baltic Sea will typically achieve about ten percent fuel savings, thanks to Navidium’s optimization technology. Therefore, it is no wonder that there is a demand for Navidium’s solutions. In addition to Finland, the company has operations in the Netherlands, Russia and the Indian R & D Center. Also, in China two new sales offices are about to be opened. A similar product entity is not found anywhere else in the world.
“Our product, which advises the captain to drive economically in real-time internal and external conditions, is unique on the market,” says Janne Tolonen, Navidium’s IoT Development Director. The company’s new ice-navigation solution is also looking for a peer to peer in the world.
The algorithms developed by Navidium make calculations that the human brain could not manage. They give instructions on the base of the data they analyze. External conditions and IoT data are added to the company’s system every second. There is lots – and more and more comes in all the time. “Navidium lives on data,” Tolonen describes. | transportation_engineering |

Using the latest Autologic dealer level equipment, Waterfall can tune your vehicle for increased economy and performance.
When your vehicle is delivered from the manufacturer, it comes with a standard ‘manufacturer tune’, to ensure the highest level of engine reliability across the worldwide market, whilst taking into account factors such as the quality of fuel which is likely to be available, different servicing schedules, different operating environments (such as terrain and altitude), and local legislation with regard to power output and emissions.
Autologic Performance Tunes are optimised for European driving conditions, allowing extra vehicle performance to be ‘unlocked’, whilst still complying with UK emissions laws.
In almost all cases the performance tune does not involve any physical modification, it simply involves a change of software, and so in the unlikely event of the tune needing to be removed, the process can be reversed without any side effects.

Rudder Lock Rebuild Kits
Thanks Joseph Bennett @JoyriderTV on YouTube for reviewing the rudder kit.
Joe's review video can be helpful when assembling our rudder kit.
**Note: As Joe says in his description below the video on YouTube, he mounted the pin holders incorrectly. The larger hole in the pin holders should be on the side of the rudder arm and not the bottom. If mounted incorrectly, the rudder pin will protrude down further than it should and you could damage the edge of your rudder when trying to lock it down. He puts a pin holder on at the 7:30 mark.**
Side note: When drilling through the carbon fiber rudder lock down arm holders, we recommend starting with smaller drill bits and working up to the appropriate size bit. This will reduce the chance of cracking the part.

Abstract: The backdrop for this research paper/presentation is the major road and rail tunnelling construction that is currently occurring throughout Greece as well as the tunnelling that has been completed in the Epirus and Western Macedonia regions of Northern Greece, as part of the Egnatia Odos Highway construction. Highly deformed and altered sediments and low grade metamorphic rock masses dominate the near surface environment creating a variety of technical challenges for tunnelling. Accurate equivalent rock mass performance predictions for tunnels in these materials (including yield and residual strength as well as flow and dilation considerations) is complicated by geomorphologic peculiarities (mixed face conditions, variable orientation or rock masses and structure) such as flysch materials. In addition, portal stability problems, and geometrical issues such as the effects of simultaneous twin tunnel excavation on radial displacements of each tunnel bore are also key considerations at the design and construction stage of the tunnelling process. This work involves the use of 2D and 3D research models of tunnel sequencing for numerical simulation of composite material behaviour and sequential tunnel deformation response with a goal to investigating the strength and deformation of the heterogeneous rockmasses found in Greece; this is complimented with real data obtained from the field in Greece. As well, the use of a state-of-the-art fiber-optic probe that has been developed for tunnels in Greece will also be highlighted. Site-specific considerations and results pertaining to geological conditions, material property determination, tunnel monitoring data and the model calibration strategy will also be incorporated. | transportation_engineering |

At the time, all of Sweden's immediate neighbors drove on the right and most Swedes drove left-hand drive vehicles... Can you imagine the difficulties of driving on the left-hand side of the road with a left-hand drive car?
Nonetheless, the change came with much opposition. In 1955, 83% of drivers voted to keep driving on the left-hand side of the road, despite the many instances of head-on collisions when passing on two-lane highways.
It's amazing to think how much had to be altered to implement this change...
On H-Day, all non-essential traffic was banned from the roads in the early morning (in some instances, the ban lasted all day) to allow crews to reconfigure intersections. Bus stops had to be constructed on the other side of the street, and over 1,000 new buses were purchased with doors on the right-hand side. Some 8,000 older buses were retrofitted to provide doors on both sides.

This was for use on the Forth and Clyde Canal but the canal directors feared damage to the canal banks and the boats use was discontinued. Fulton established a steamboat service on the Hudson River NY USA in 1808 but the major UK commercial success was by Henry Bell on the Clyde who in 1812 commissioned "Comet" a boat by John Wood of Port Glasgow engined by John Robertson and boilered by David Napier.
In 1814 the "Tay" was built By James Smart and machinery was by J&C Carmichael and described by the local paper as resembling "The Comet" closely. This suggests a Watt type side lever engine with the beam low in the engine to lower the centre of gravity. John Robertson installed the engine.
The side lever engine was to be present in Dundee steamboat design till the 1870's though other types would be tried from time to time including grasshopper, oscillating cylinder, steeple, diagonal and horizontal among others.
Ferries for the Tay were built in 1821 by James Brown of Perth with engines by Carmichael and in 1829 a steamship was built for DP&L with engines by Dundee Foundry. In 1832 Peter Borrie was building engines of the side connecting rod type at Tay Foundry in Trades Lane and continued till 1843.
The screw propeller was introduced in the successful SS "Great Britain" in 1843 but it would be 1854 before Gourlay and Mudie, successors to the Dundee Foundry Co, built the first Dundee screw steamer SS "Correo". The Gourlay Bros. SS "Dalhousie" in 1858 heralded compound engines and the surface condenser hi Dundee.
The "Scotch" boiler introduced in 1862 allowed higher pressure operation and thus even greater economy of engines. Alexander Kirk of Barry Angus developed the triple expansion engine at Elder's yard in Glasgow and in 1881 his successful triple was installed in the SS "Aberdeen" at G. Thomson's yard at Aberdeen. This combined with the Scotch boiler would form a long lasting power plant type for the next 70 years throughout the world.
Steel became generally available by 1881 allowing higher pressures in boilers.
In 1885 Dundee's first triple was installed in the SS "Loch Etive" at Gourlays and in the same year Gourlay's SS "Dundee" was the first Dundee ship with electric lighting. By this time engines were also being built by shipbuilder W B Thompson at Tay foundry, Pearce Bros at Lilybank foundry, and Whyte and Cooper at Brittania engine works Dock St.
1890 was the peak time of British Shipbuilding and thereafter over-capacity and slumps would take their toll as other countries mastered the technology. Quadruple expansion engines were built by both Gourlays and Lilybank but applications were few. Elsewhere by 1904 the steam turbine and the water tube boiler was being adopted thus allowing larger power/volume ratio in fast liners. These would be applied to Dundee ships by 1920 but were mainly used in larger ships than those Dundee normally built. Gourlays closed in 1908 after difficult trading conditions. Diesel motor engines were introduced in 1912 in the ocean going MV 'Selandia" by Burmeister and Wain of Denmark. This was a successful ship and cooler operation and good control of engines was reported. In 1914 Caledon Dundee built the first British motor tanker the MV 'Sebastian" with engines by AB Diesel Stockholm. This was followed by the MV "Selene" in the same year.
After the 1914-18 war Caledon moved its boilermaking work to a new boilershop, with a 130 ton crane, at the old Caledon yard at Carolina Port and a new yard at Stannergate became the main shipbuilding site.
Shipbuilding experienced severe slump conditions in the early 1930's and in 1932 Lilybank foundry produced its last main engine for the SS "Kyleclare" the only Caledon ship built that year. The foundry was effectively closed by 1935. Shipbuilding built up rapidly after 1934 such that record orders were in hand in 1937. Wartime conditions dictated that WD transports and warships had priority and were built mainly to economy budgets. Secret work as a research factory of the Ministry of Aircraft Production included the manufacture and installation of radar station towers and equipment.
Post 2nd world war work included high pressure PAMETRADA turbines on Holt ships SS "Nelius" and "Nestor". In 1956 the last steamship to be built on the Tay SS "Almerian" was completed by Caledon. It had a Clark NE Marine triple expansion engine with Baur-Wach exhaust turbine together with Caledon built Scotch boilers at 300psi pressure. Motor engined ships were fitted with opposed piston diesels by e.g. Kincaid-Burmeister and Wain, Rowan Doxford or single acting Denny Sulzer types. Later ships would use multiple medium speed smaller motor units. Mention must be made of Victoria Drummond, lady marine engineer. She served an apprenticeship at Lilybank foundry and in 1922 sailed her first voyage with Alfred Holt & Co. She served all her working life in many different ships till she retired in 1962 aged 72. She had a notable war service and saved her ship in 1940 when she manned the engine room single handedly and kept up full speed while bombs were dodged during a sustained raid. She received the MBE and Lloyds war medal. Her life is recorded in the book "The remarkable life of Victoria Drummond Marine Engineer" which was written by her niece Cherry based upon Victoria's diaries. The Caledon built its last ship hi 1981 but Marine engineering continued with Kestrel Marine building offshore oil structures and then" associated engineering services. | transportation_engineering |

This indoor navigation system was implemented in 3-weeks time. The lack of satellite signs makes it difficult to use navigation systems such as google and apple maps and beacons come in handy here.
The beacon system also enables an augmented reality wayfinding tool – so passengers can be shown directions in the camera view of their mobile device – locate check-in, departure gates and baggage belts
This can be used by airlines to send specific information and also provide opportunities for retailers to promote offers based on proximity. Gatwick airport is the first airport to deploy augmented reality technology and it is expected that the other airports should soon follow suit. | transportation_engineering |

One step that would help in all these areas would be the introduction of a 20mph speed limit in the town centre and residential streets. There has been growing support for this idea nationwide over the last few years and the measure has already been implemented by over 30 local authorities in the U.K with at least another 12 committed to its implementation.
There are many benefits for a community in implementing the 20mph limit, the most obvious being safer streets for all road users. Lowering residential speed limits to 20mph has been found to decrease child pedestrian accidents by up to 70% and in Portsmouth the introduction of the 20mph limit has reduced casualties by 22%.
The increased safety on the roads also acts as an encouragement for more people to cycle and walk and helps to create a friendlier and healthier environment for all members of the community.
Other benefits include reductions in noise and air pollution and research shows that the lower limit has a negligible effect on journey times.
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is now looking into the possibility of implementing the 20mph limit in Penarth. A proposal to consult on this idea was on the agenda at the recent Community Cabinet meeting held in Penarth. There was strong public support for the idea at the meeting where all 15 members of the audience who addressed the subject were in favour. The recommendation was approved and the Vale will now be consulting further on the proposal.
GPG would encourage all who think that this is a good idea for our communities to contact their local Councillors to make them aware of public support for the proposal.
More information on the nationwide campaign and the benefits of residential 20mph limits can be found at www.20splentyforus.org.uk
Contact details for Councillors can be found on the Vale website and at writetothem.com
The next GPG public meeting will be taking place on Thursday 21st February, 6.30pm at the Windsor Arms, Windsor Road.The meeting’s theme is ‘Safe Streets / Clean Air’ and will be focusing on the possible benefits of reduced residential speed limits for Penarth and also problems with air pollution in the town. The guest speaker at the meeting will be Rod King, the founder and campaign director of the national 20’s Plenty for Us campaign. Entrance to the meeting is free and open to all. view poster | transportation_engineering |

About BestRest Products.
BestRest offers adventure gear that's rugged and reliable - gear you can trust. Owner David Petersen designs and fabricates most of the products shown on the website.
He rides the BMW F8GS and R12GS and he's not afraid to get them dirty.
BestRest's most popular products include the CyclePump Tire Inflator, the EZAir Tire Gauge, and the TireIron BeadBrakR. You'll need them when you have a flat tire,
when you're adjusting pressure for maximum traction, and when it's time to change tires. BestRest also has a line of hard parts, soft luggage, and gear for the adventure rider.
The CyclePump is the Official tire inflator at RawHyde Adventures. Just ask the Staff - they all carry one because they know it'll perform when the going gets tough.
When you need air in your tires, you can count on the CyclePump.
The CyclePump is the Gold Standard of motorcycle tire inflators. It has a proven record of performance and reliability,
which is why it was chosen as the Official Tire Inflator at RawHyde Adventures. All the Staff Members carry one whenever
they ride. The CyclePump gives you the ability to fill a tire in the field after making an emergency repair, or you can
use it to air-up tires after a low pressure ride in the dirt. The hardened aluminum case and other components easily
stand up to the rigors of off road riding.
The Gauge can be used all by itself, or as an in-line gauge connected to the CyclePump. You can easily monitor pressures
as the tire fills. The bleed button on top lets you drop pressures for a ride in the dirt. When you hit pavement again
use the EZAir and the CyclePump to restore full highway pressure.
The TireIron BeadBrakR kit gives you everything you need to change or repair your own tires, anywhere, anytime. Three
tire irons assemble into a bead breaker, which easily separates the tire from the rim. Those irons are then used to
remove the tire for repair or replacement. With a BeadBrakR you'll be able to change both tires in just a few minutes
and you'll avoid costly visits to the tire shop. The kit includes tire irons, assembly components, rim protectors,
tire mounting lube, and a valve stem tool.
If you want to learn how to make repairs in the field, this DVD is for you. It covers most types of repairs on both
tubed and tubeless tires, and it also shows you how to change your own tires using nothing more than a few tire irons.
BestRest sells more than just tire related products. We also sell soft luggage, Metal Mule panniers, a wide range of hard
parts for the BMW F800GS and R1200GS, and other motorcycle adventure gear. | transportation_engineering |
