Transport phenomena

There are many issues and worries when the topic of autonomous or self-driving cars is brought up during this new day and age. The issues range along the scale of laws to its safety features. The many issues that arise within this new and trending technology are all important and should be addressed yet I believe that the largest complication surround these cars are the laws restricting the usage. Although there are a number of laws or acts currently trying and slowly being put into place…

The civic issue that I have chosen for this assignment is drinking and driving. The reason why I choose this issue, is because this issue affects me in many ways. First of all, even if I am not in a car with an impaired driver, there are chances another car may have an impaired driver. That car might crash into mine, and cause me serious injuries or even kill me. To reduce incidents like this, I believe drinking and driving has to come to an end. Also, in about six-months, I will start driving.…

The implementation of the bus network with exclusive lanes recommended in the plan was enhanced by transportation planners by introducing features from the international experience, especially Curitiba in Brazil. The organization of public transport services by introducing the BRT system has had a positive impact on road safety indicators due to improvements in the operational services as well as an infrastructure that segregates different transportation modes by giving priority to mass transit…

The Stalker in Ontonagon It was a cool summer day in Ontonagon Michigan. As I was sitting on the hood of the silver truck, watching my little cousins play in the grass, little trickles of rain ran down my chestnut brown hair. All of my little cousins were playing “Ghost In the Graveyard” in the soggy grass. After twenty minutes or so all the kids were lying in the soggy grass, exhausted. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a man. Slouched over by the stop sign. He stared at us with these…

The first book I read in english class this year was The World According to Garp, a book known for its forward thinking material. During a conversation in class, a question arose about Garp, Jenny, and many other main characters: are they good people. Main characters, while flawed, are good often portrayed as ethical human beings; however Garp and co cautiously walked a moral line. My conclusion was that no, they were not good people, but they weren’t bad people either. If I were to go up to…

Do you like driving? Do you feel safer when riding in a car with someone with more experience? Driverless cars are coming in the near future, and the point I’m trying to make here is that people sometimes make errors. Then people can get seriously injured or even die! Driverless cars should be implemented due to safety, efficiency, and economy. As mentioned above people get in wrecks all the time! Big or small these human errors could be prevented in driverless cars to prevent people for…

See what I think is that this driverless technology should not be allowed because some of these motor companies making this driverless tech are not experienced enough to be making driverless vehicles but on the other hand driverless vehicles are a good resource for uber & taxi companies but could put a lot of people out of a job “Many americans don't trust the reliability of self driving vehicles” Robert J. Samuelson Hackers behind the wheel People in the US sometimes will not trust…

best move for our business. Spartan is shipping both local and rural orders via highway transport. Given the number of customers who often ask us to ship to multiple locations and the sheer number of orders in a given month, that equates to a lot of trucks on the road at any time. The company is wasting money on less than truckload (LTL) shipments in addition to shipping all orders by way of highway transport. Paul Saxton mentioned that “right now we give too much flexibility to our sales…

People are not perfect. Sadly people die every day to unfortunate causes. One of those causes are not wearing g a seat belt while driving, but we could fix that with a car system that will not start unless you put on a seat belt. It will reduce tickets, reduce death, and you will have a better chance of seeing a family member again. It’s better for the people and for the future. People on the road who don’t were there seatbelts aren’t just endangered of dying, there endangered of getting tickets…

There is an old man who owns his own bagel shop in New York City. He makes the bagels kosher so he gets a lot of business from his own jewish community. He also sees bankers right before they head off to work, tourists looking looking for the authentic New York morning experience and other ordinary sorts of people who want a good bagel for whatever reason. He greets every one of them with a smile and a “hello”, sometimes in english and sometimes in yiddish. They know him as the friendly man who…
