Download or read book RHODES ITMS Tempe Field Test Project written by Pitu B. Mirchandani and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RHODES is a traffic-adaptive signal control system that optimally controls the traffic that is observed in real time. The RHODES-ITMS Program is the application of the RHODES strategy for the two intersections of a freeway-arterial diamond interchange. This report addresses the latest phase of the RHODES-ITMS Program that resulted in a field test in the City of Tempe, Arizona. In summary, this phase involved: (i) the integration of the RHODES logic within the signal controller; (ii) the validation of the RHODES logic using "hardware-in-the-loop" simulation; (iii) the integration of the RHODES algorithms within Tempe's traffic management system; (iv) the deployment of RHODES for the field test; and (v) the data gathering and evaluation of traffic performance "with" and "without" the RHODES logic

Book excerpt: This report documents the work performed on the RHODES Project Phase II(a) which is a continuation of the RHODES Project Phase I. Phase I explored concepts for models and algorithms for real-time traffic- adaptive control systems for street networks. Phase II(a) focused on further development of some of these algorithms and on performing some preliminary laboratory experiments with these algorithms using simulation models. The control architecture of RHODES is based on a hierarchical decomposition of the overall traffic control problem with three levels in the control hierarchy: network load control network flow control, and intersection control.

Book excerpt: This report documents the work performed and the results obtained on the RHODES - Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS) Project. The project addressed the design and development of a real-time traffic adaptive control system for Freeway-Arterial Diamond Interchanges using the concepts underlying the RHODES traffic-adaptive signal control system. The traffic "controls" at a diamond interchange are the two sets of traffic signals located at the arterials, on both sides of the freeway, and the ramp meters at the on-ramps to the freeway. The RHODES-ITMS strategy considers, in real-time, the vehicle arrivals and the queues at the intersections and the on-ramps to optimally set these signals, also in real time, to decrease the overall delay of all the vehicles which use the arterials, the frontage roads parallel to the freeway (if they exist) and the ramps at the interchange
Download or read book Early Childhood Assessment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-12-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of young children's development and learning has recently taken on new importance. Private and government organizations are developing programs to enhance the school readiness of all young children, especially children from economically disadvantaged homes and communities and children with special needs. Well-planned and effective assessment can inform teaching and program improvement, and contribute to better outcomes for children. This book affirms that assessments can make crucial contributions to the improvement of children's well-being, but only if they are well designed, implemented effectively, developed in the context of systematic planning, and are interpreted and used appropriately. Otherwise, assessment of children and programs can have negative consequences for both. The value of assessments therefore requires fundamental attention to their purpose and the design of the larger systems in which they are used. Early Childhood Assessment addresses these issues by identifying the important outcomes for children from birth to age 5 and the quality and purposes of different techniques and instruments for developmental assessments.

This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1973 and 2016, the ways to manipulate DNA to endow new characteristics in an organism (that is, biotechnology) have advanced, enabling the development of products that were not previously possible. What will the likely future products of biotechnology be over the next 5â€"10 years? What scientific capabilities, tools, and/or expertise may be needed by the regulatory agencies to ensure they make efficient and sound evaluations of the likely future products of biotechnology? Preparing for Future Products of Biotechnology analyzes the future landscape of biotechnology products and seeks to inform forthcoming policy making. This report identifies potential new risks and frameworks for risk assessment and areas in which the risks or lack of risks relating to the products of biotechnology are well understood.
Download or read book Learning to Think Spatially written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-02-03 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to Think Spatially examines how spatial thinking might be incorporated into existing standards-based instruction across the school curriculum. Spatial thinking must be recognized as a fundamental part of Kâ€"12 education and as an integrator and a facilitator for problem solving across the curriculum. With advances in computing technologies and the increasing availability of geospatial data, spatial thinking will play a significant role in the information-based economy of the twenty-first century. Using appropriately designed support systems tailored to the Kâ€"12 context, spatial thinking can be taught formally to all students. A geographic information system (GIS) offers one example of a high-technology support system that can enable students and teachers to practice and apply spatial thinking in many areas of the curriculum.

Download or read book Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture written by Henry Jenkins and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many teens today who use the Internet are actively involved in participatory cultures—joining online communities (Facebook, message boards, game clans), producing creative work in new forms (digital sampling, modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction), working in teams to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (as in Wikipedia), and shaping the flow of media (as in blogging or podcasting). A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these activities, including opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, development of skills useful in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship. Some argue that young people pick up these key skills and competencies on their own by interacting with popular culture; but the problems of unequal access, lack of media transparency, and the breakdown of traditional forms of socialization and professional training suggest a role for policy and pedagogical intervention. This report aims to shift the conversation about the "digital divide" from questions about access to technology to questions about access to opportunities for involvement in participatory culture and how to provide all young people with the chance to develop the cultural competencies and social skills needed. Fostering these skills, the authors argue, requires a systemic approach to media education; schools, afterschool programs, and parents all have distinctive roles to play. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Reports on Digital Media and Learning
