Enhance your journey through understanding: Keep yourself updated on traffic control techniques and tools, contributing to smoother roads and heightened safety. A noteworthy approach involves employing sophisticated traffic signal systems featuring adaptive traffic control. These systems dynamically alter signal timings in response to real-time traffic conditions, optimizing traffic flow and reducing delays. 🚗🚦 #eaglegreen #2024 #trafficcontrol #trafficmanagement #vancouver #EagleGreenSafety #roadsafety

Hello Everyone, I recently had a sobering experience while waiting at a red signal. As I patiently abided by the traffic signal, I witnessed a car carelessly disregard the red signal, accelerating through the intersection and narrowly avoiding a potentially catastrophic collision. This incident served as a stark reminder of the critical importance of adhering to traffic regulations. It's not just about avoiding legal consequences or fines; it's about prioritizing the safety and well-being of ourselves and our fellow road users. Every time we conscientiously obey traffic signals, we contribute to the creation of safer roadways for all. So, the next time you find yourself approaching a traffic signal, take a moment to reflect on the potential ramifications of ignoring it. Let's collectively commit to upholding traffic laws and fostering a culture of safety on our roads. Together, we can make a significant difference in reducing the frequency of accidents and ensuring safer journeys for everyone. #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

LSM TrainSense® (Int. pat. pend.) technology, available at https://lnkd.in/gNa9wVxs, effectively minimises human error and behavior-related issues. It reduces the need for driver intervention by eliminating dependence on satellite navigation or unreliable cellular networks and apps, particularly in remote areas. This system provides audible and visual alerts within the driver's cabin and utilises reliable GPS for precise accuracy, eliminating the need for pre-route planning. Additionally, LSM TrainSense® enhances safety by alerting road users to the presence of rail crossings, regardless of whether existing warning systems are operational or if a rail vehicle is physically on the track. It automatically compares stored railway level crossing GPS data with the vehicle's current location, provides multiple pre-warnings as the vehicle approaches a crossing at any time or distance, and can initiate vehicle deceleration, braking, or automatic emergency braking (AEB) if warnings are ignored.

Great system, should be used everywhere
A smart road system from Australia - ARMB automated dividing barriers. During accidents and disasters, they block roads, redirecting the flow of cars to a safe place.

Given the ever increased traffic in our urban areas. Roundabouts are still more practical as it allows continuous flow of traffic, easing congestion. But roundabouts require a wider footprint and thus has some constraints in our areas as space / real-estate is limited.
Real life analogy = Traffic lights 🚦 vs. Roundabout - Batch processing vs. Continuous flow Lead time reduction and safety improvements powered by continuous flow (idealy one-piece-flow)…. Traffic roundabout lessons for lean solutions and flow management! Easing congestion, dropping emissions and reducing oad ⚠️ danger/deaths⁉️ Roundabouts can help to reduce injury crashes by 75 % & to improve traffic flow according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) ✅ physical WIP limit ✅ gap = pull signal ✅ continuous flow vs. stopping when the light without traffic ✅ no traffic light to beat (accelerating through a yellow light) ✅ Less T-bone and head-on collisions (one-way travel) ✅ Low travel speeds ✅ long-term costs: eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals Thanks for the great analogy to Andrej Morocz #kaizen #safety #lean Ivan Carillo Paul Dunlop Steve Davis

Water Logging during monsoon is a danger to your vehicles electrical components as well as to your Battery Pack. Best to avoid travelling through such regions. Battery packs and connections are water resistant but not water proof. #AdvantexBattery #LithiumBatteries #ElectricVehicles

Senior Industrial / Production Engineer ◆ Aerospace and Defense ◆ Manufacturing reduction by weeks (5-10%) ◆ 1M$ material utilization improvement ◆ 0 downtime SMED ◆ Decreased non-value added time by hours per day
This represents an interesting analogy, but Iike all things- it depends on numerous issues, not the least of which is human error. Moving from the analogy to the actual subject, the right design for a factory is based on all of the details about that factory. Failing to take into account the unique attributes of each factory (and yes the guarantee of human error) only ensures failure.
