Book Street Traffic Control  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Street Traffic Control Classic Reprint written by Miller McClintock and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Street Traffic Control The alarming increase in street accidents and in street congestion during the past few years has rendered the correction of traffic conditions one of the most important municipal problems of the present day. This book has been written in the hope that it will be of assistance to those who are trying to solve this problem. I have attempted to analyze the causes of existing street traffic difficulties, to summarize the experiences of the greater American cities, and to present the conclusions of the foremost practical experts. While preparing this work for publication I have had the advantage of the counsel of Professors William Bennett Munro, and Arthur N. Holcombe of Harvard University. I am also indebted to the public officials and others who assisted me in making a survey of street traffic conditions in the principal American cities.

Book Dead Reckoning

    Book Details:
  • Author : Diane Vaughan
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2021-09-30
  • ISBN : 022679654X
  • Pages : 694 pages

Download or read book Dead Reckoning written by Diane Vaughan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vaughan unveils the complicated and high-pressure world of air traffic controllers as they navigate technology and political and public climates, and shows how they keep the skies so safe. When two airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, Americans watched in uncomprehending shock as first responders struggled to react to the situation on the ground. Congruently, another remarkable and heroic feat was taking place in the air: more than six hundred and fifty air traffic control facilities across the country coordinated their efforts to ground four thousand flights in just two hours—an achievement all the more impressive considering the unprecedented nature of the task. In Dead Reckoning, Diane Vaughan explores the complex work of air traffic controllers, work that is built upon a close relationship between human organizational systems and technology and is remarkably safe given the high level of risk. Vaughan observed the distinct skill sets of air traffic controllers and the ways their workplaces changed to adapt to technological developments and public and political pressures. She chronicles the ways these forces affected their jobs, from their relationships with one another and the layouts of their workspace to their understanding of their job and its place in society. The result is a nuanced and engaging look at an essential role that demands great coordination, collaboration, and focus—a role that technology will likely never be able to replace. Even as the book conveys warnings about complex systems and the liabilities of technological and organizational innovation, it shows the kinds of problem-solving solutions that evolved over time and the importance of people.

Book Introduction to Modern Traffic Flow Theory and Control

Download or read book Introduction to Modern Traffic Flow Theory and Control written by Boris S. Kerner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of empirical traf?c congestion occurring on unsignalized mul- lane highways and freeways is a key for effective traf?c management, control, or- nization, and other applications of transportation engineering. However, the traf?c ?ow theories and models that dominate up to now in transportation research journals and teaching programs of most universities cannot explain either traf?c breakdown or most features of the resulting congested patterns. These theories are also the - sis of most dynamic traf?c assignment models and freeway traf?c control methods, which therefore are not consistent with features of real traf?c. For this reason, the author introduced an alternative traf?c ?ow theory called three-phase traf?c theory, which can predict and explain the empirical spatiot- poral features of traf?c breakdown and the resulting traf?c congestion. A previous book “The Physics of Traf?c” (Springer, Berlin, 2004) presented a discussion of the empirical spatiotemporal features of congested traf?c patterns and of three-phase traf?c theory as well as their engineering applications. Rather than a comprehensive analysis of empirical and theoretical results in the ?eld, the present book includes no more empirical and theoretical results than are necessary for the understanding of vehicular traf?c on unsignalized multi-lane roads. The main objectives of the book are to present an “elementary” traf?c ?ow theory and control methods as well as to show links between three-phase traf?c t- ory and earlier traf?c ?ow theories. The need for such a book follows from many commentsofcolleaguesmadeafterpublicationofthebook“ThePhysicsofTraf?c”.

Book War Highway Traffic Control in Pennsylvania

Download or read book War Highway Traffic Control in Pennsylvania written by Pennsylvania State Council of Defense and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Highway Traffic Control in Pennsylvania: Provisions of Official Rule No. 2 and Supplementary Information for Guidance of Councils of Defense and Citizens Defense Corps The effectiveness of any_plan for civilian defense depends upon the knowledge and cooperative spirit of the people at large. In the event of air attack the last thing to be desired is to have the populace running around aimlessly, bringing about the clogging of streets and highways by people moving thereon without a definite objective. This must be avoided because hysteria or panic resulting therefrom has the effect of completely breaking down morale, which is the ultimate objective of the enemy in plan ning attack by air on the civilian population; The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at its recent special session passed Act No. Lh, known as the Air Raid Precautions Act, which was approved by Governor James on the 13th.day of April, l9h2. This Act empowers the State Council of Defense to adopt and promulgate rules, regulations, and orders for the protection of the people of Pennsylvania during air raids and blackouts. Under the provision of this Act, the State Council of Defense has promulgated Rule No. 2 for the purpose of regulating traffic during air raids and blackouts.
