Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of the Traffic Control Devices Handbook (the Handbook or TCDH) is to augment the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (the Manual or MUTCD), as adopted nationally by the United States Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The Manual outlines the design and application of traffic control devices on roadways in the United States. However, criteria and data to make decisions on the use of a device and its application are not always fully covered in the Manual. This Handbook bridges the gap between the Manual provisions and those decisions to be made in the field on device usage and application"--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: "The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada (MUTCDC) is a flagship document for the Transportation Association of Canada, and is an essential tool for all professionals involved in traffic management and control. It provides optimum guidance and preferred methods in the design, dimensions and application of devices for the control of traffic and the provision of information to drivers and other road users. The MUTCDC provides information and diagrams on traffic signs, signals, pavement markings and temporary conditions, offering guidance on types, use, and placement for each. This guidance is applicable to the variety of road authorities and jurisidictions across the nation. These devices constitute a system for conveying messages to the road user which advise of traffic regulations in order to enable observance of the law, or warn of road characteristics, road hazards and temporary conditions. Meeting these objectives improves safety, serves the convenience of the road user, and promotes the efficient movement of persons and goods and the orderly flow of traffic."--Page [iii].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite traffic circles, four-way stop signs, lights regulated by timers or sensors, and other methods, the management of urban intersections remains problematic. Consider that transportation systems have all the features of so-called complex systems: the great number of state and control variables, the presence of uncertainty and indeterminism, th
Download or read book Management of electronic traffic equipment written by Roads Liaison Group and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication contains important guidance for local authorities that own and operate electronic traffic equipment on their network. This Code of Practice is the first document within the UK which establishes a series of good practice policies and procedures, obtained from experts, on how effectively to manage the maintenance of fixed location electronic traffic control equipment. The growth of technology in the highways sector has led to improvements in congestion control and a reduction in carbon emissions. Adoptions of the recommendations within this code will help local authorities achieve delivery of high quality services.

Book excerpt: Now with a new introduction for the Tor Essentials line, A Fire Upon the Deep is sure to bring a new generation of SF fans to Vinge's award-winning works. A Hugo Award-winning Novel! “Vinge is one of the best visionary writers of SF today.”-David Brin Thousands of years in the future, humanity is no longer alone in a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures, and technology, can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence. Fleeing this galactic threat, Ravna crash lands on a strange world with a ship-hold full of cryogenically frozen children, the only survivors from a destroyed space-lab. They are taken captive by the Tines, an alien race with a harsh medieval culture, and used as pawns in a ruthless power struggle.

Book excerpt: Transport systems are facing an impossible dilemma: satisfy an increasing demand for mobility of people and goods, while decreasing their fossil-energy requirements and preserving the environment. Additionally, transport has an opportunity to evolve in a changing world, with new services, technologies but also new requirements (fast delivery, reliability, improved accessibility). The subject of traffic is organized into two separate but complementary volumes: Volume 3 on Traffic Management and Volume 4 on Traffic Safety. Traffic Management, Volume 3 of the 'Research for Innovative Transports' Set, presents a collection of updated papers from the TRA 2014 Conference, highlighting the diversity of research in this field. Theoretical chapters and practical case studies address topics such as cooperative systems, the global approach in modeling, road and railway traffic management, information systems and impact assessment.
