WEIGHING SYSTEMS IN TRAFFIC

Health systems research initiative to tackle growing road traffic injuries in India

Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the sixth leading cause of deaths in India and about 400 deaths take place every day due to road traffic accidents. The present paper analyses the data of the India’s National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) to assess the burden of RTI. In addition, it reports the health systems research initiated by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). As per NCRB data, in...

wind farm impact on generation adequacy in power systems

در سال های اخیر به دلیل افزایش دمای متوسط کره زمین، بشر به دنبال روش های جایگزین برای تامین توان الکتریکی مورد نیاز خود بوده و همچنین در اکثر نقاط جهان سوزاندن سوخت های فسیلی در نیروگاه های حرارتی به عنوان مهم ترین روش تولید توان الکتریکی مطرح بوده است. به دلیل توجه به مسایل زیست محیطی، استفاده از منابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در سال های اخیر شدت یافته است. نیروگاه های بادی به عنوان یک منبع تولید توان...

Dynamic Weighing

In fabricating flowmeters, the meter's calibration is its final and accuracy determining step that comprises a great time consumption relative to its completion from its single component parts. Thus calibration (unless the respective time of calibration for a flow meter is not minimized) may represent a relevant contribution to fabrication costs. High-accuracy liquid flow calibration facilities...

Traffic Management Systems

This study uses regression analysis to evaluate long-run traffic management system performance. Three important traffic management systems in the Twin Cities metro area—Ramp Metering, Variable Message Signs, and Freeway Service Patrols (the Highway Helper Program) were evaluated using multiple regression models to predict link speed and incident rate. We find that ramp meters increase freeway l...
