With this distributed generation (DG) in distribution systems, its function generally tends to be changed. These effects leads to effects on distribution systems protection. One way to reduce the effects of distributed generation protection system of distribution systems is re-coordination of protective devices. To prevent the high cost, system configuration should be modified to reduce the DG ...

A survey of 17 transit-oriented developments (TOD) in five U.S. metropolitan areas showed that vehicle trips per dwelling unit were substantially below what the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation manual estimates. Over a typical weekday period, the surveyed TOD housing projects averaged 44 percent fewer vehicle trips than that estimated by the manual (3.754 versus 6.715). Ve...

Transportation engineers and urban planners often report uncertain estimates as precise numbers, and unwarranted trust in the accuracy of these precise numbers can lead to bad transportation and landuse policies. This paper presents data on parking and trip generation rates to illustrate the misuse of precise numbers to report statistically insignificant estimates. Beyond the problem of statist...
