Download or read book Traffic Records Program Assessment Advisory written by United States. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated edition of Traffic Records Program Assessment Advisory gives States information on the contents, capabilities, and data quality of an effective traffic records system by describing an ideal system that supports high-quality decisions and leads to cost-effective improvements in highway and traffic safety. In addition, the updated Advisory outlines a comprehensive approach for assessing the systems and processes that govern the collection, management, and analysis of traffic records data. The Advisory now provides a uniform set of questions derived from the ideal system as described above. The questions are used by a group of qualified independent assessors to determine how close a State's capabilities come to the described ideal. There are three gradations: (a) meets the description of the ideal traffic records system, (b) partially meets the ideal description, and (c) does not meet the ideal description. The Advisory also provides State respondents with standards of evidence that identify the specific information necessary to answer each assessment question. This assessment instrument highlights a State traffic records system's strengths as well as opportunities for improvement.

Download or read book Dependable and Historic Computing written by Cliff Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Brian Randell on the occasion of his 75th birthday, contains a total of 37 refereed contributions. Two biographical papers are followed by the six invited papers that were presented at the conference 'Dependable and Historic Computing: The Randell Tales', held during April 7-8, 2011 at Newcastle University, UK. The remaining contributions are authored by former scientific colleagues of Brian Randell. The papers focus on the core of Brian Randell’s work: the development of computing science and the study of its history. Moreover, his wider interests are reflected and so the collection comprises papers on software engineering, storage fragmentation, computer architecture, programming languages and dependability. There is even a paper that echoes Randell’s love of maps. After an early career with English Electric and then with IBM in New York and California, Brian Randell joined Newcastle University. His main research has been on dependable computing in all its forms, especially reliability, safety and security aspects, and he has led several major European collaborative projects.
