...of stress that air traffic controllers face on the job? Why or why not? No, I don’t think I would be able to handle the stress of being an air traffic controller. After reading the case study, I understood just how much pressure and responsibility that is put on their shoulders. According to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), on an average day, controllers handle 87,000 flights. That’s a couple million people’s lives in my hands on any given day and if I make any kind of small mistake, 400 people could lose their lives just like that. On the last case study I was asked if I would want to manage an IKEA store because I didn’t think I could handle watching over all of the employees, so I definitely wouldn’t be able to or want to handle millions of people’s lives. 2) In your opinion, which causes of work stress, or organizational stressors, are likely to be among the most common experienced by air traffic controllers? Explain your reasoning. I would say that Task Demands are the most common stressors experienced by air traffic controllers. I say this because they have such a highly demanding job which depends upon high levels of responsibility, quick decisions, and critical decisions. On the job, air traffic controllers have to make decisions quickly while realizing that the wrong one may endanger, or even end, the lives of hundreds and thousands of people. 3) Controller Pete Rodgers says that any gathering of air traffic controllers is ‘almost...

...Topic: “The effects of road traffic congestion on residential decision- making of inhabitants of the city of Accra- A case study of communities along three congested routes” Transportation is essentially a response to the mobility needs of people, and this must be done in a timely fashion in order for people to realize its full benefits. Consequently, transportation plays a crucial role in the socio-economic and politico-cultural development of people and their communities. However, there are some related problems (such as congestion, mobility gaps, urban sprawl, and emissions amongst others) that come with it. In Ghana, transportation is almost synonymous with road transport as it is the major means by which peoples’ mobility needs are answered on daily basis. Road traffic congestion in the city of Accra has almost become an’ acceptable norm’ since residents have to live with this phenomenon every passing day of their lives. The factors responsible for this trend are as follows: growth in the population of Accra over the last 15 years (and this has been estimated to double in the next 20 years) associated with a continuing trend of reduction in population density; expansion in built-up area; growth in per capital income (which has also been estimated to have increased five folds over the last 15 years) with a concomitant increase in car ownership. Currently over 70% of major roads in Accra and Kumasi-the two biggest cities in the country- are said to be congested and should the...

...INVESTIGATION: On 06-30-2016, I was notified at approximately 0021 hours, of a traffic crash fatality on Bearss Avenue east of Livingston Avenue. I responded to the crash scene and arrived at approximately 00103 hours. Upon my arrival at the scene, I met with, Corporal Morrill, Detective Parsons, who forensically mapped the scene and took digital photographs of the crash scene and Deputy Moraniec. Deputy Moraniec completed the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Report (6560901). I conducted an interview of Anthony Walter Chavez, the driver of the Lincoln Navigator. During the interview, Chavez refused to submit to a blood draw. During the time we spoke, I noticed no indication of impairment with Chavez. I also conducted an interview with the passenger from the Lincoln...

...now back to reality. Seriously. A lot of drivers barely pay attention to their own habits (wander in other lanes? text? make sudden stops? you know who you are). One of the best skills you could acquire is to drive defensively. Some insurance will even give you a discount for taking a course in it. What does it mean to drive defensively? Think of it like this. When you get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Don't. Trust. Anyone. It's that simple. Don't assume the other driver will obey all traffic laws. Humans make mistakes. People get too comfortable and distracted while driving. They tend to forget they are in control...

...unlearn much of what he has learned in his own State and to learn a lot that is strange to him. This produces irritation – or worse - in the motor owner and motor driver, and tends to unnecessary costs of traffic administration (which the motorist usually has to pay for). It also adds to traffic dangers through ignorance or unfamiliarity with local conditions or practices on the part of drivers. Therefore, anything that can be done to lay down a national basis for motor traffic control must be of much practical value. Commonsense suggests that there should be uniformity instead of variety, and that the growing volume of interstate traffic requires a national instead of a local viewpoint in things common to traffic in all of the States. Were all motor vehicles kept within their own State boundaries, little disadvantage would arise from the present welter of confusing motor legislation, but when a system becomes national, a system (or lack of system) of arbitrarily fixed laws that differ substantially in matters in which there should be common agreement appears absurd, if not intolerable. I do not consider that it would be very difficult, once the groundwork had been prepared, to induce the various State Governments to agree to a national conference of traffic authorities and representatives of the recognised motoring organisations in the...

...Wimberley for the last couple of weeks. Everybody’s been either happy about it or they’ve been up in arms over it. We finally got confirmation about it this last week. HEB has bought some land right in the middle of Wimberley. I’m in the camp of being up in arms over it. I’m usually a proponent of change, but in this case, I’m not. Wimberley had an Ace Hardware that was right in the middle of town. It caught on fire and burnt down about 6 months ago. They are rebuilding but the building now is a lot bigger than the previous one. That being said, I don’t feel there needs to be another big building right behind it, right in the middle of town. It will completely change the landscape of the town. People come to Wimberley for the tourist experience. Not for the big town experience. They can stay home for that. There are two roads on either side of the land where they want to build. They are two lane roads. The town put in really nice sidewalks a few years ago. Where are they going to expand the roads to accommodate the amount of traffic that will be coming? They have Market Days on the first Saturday of the month. That day is a good indication of the amount of traffic we will get on a daily basis. The camp that is happy about HEB coming thinks that it will be competition for Brookshire Bros. and then BB will have to lower their prices. I’ve even heard some people say that hopefully it will put Brookshire Brothers out of business. These people can’t see the big picture. Let me ask...

...On April 18, a man was attempting to make a left turn on his ATV when the motorcyclist behind him attempted to pass him, causing crash in Anderson County. The motorcyclist was flown to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. This accident is a reminder that it is important to take the proper precautions when passing another vehicle. When passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, make sure you can safely pass before encountering oncoming traffic. This includes giving yourself time to get back in your correct lane before oncoming traffic arrives. When in doubt, wait to pass the vehicle. Only pass another vehicle when it is legal to do so. This includes not crossing solid yellow lines...

...What Type of Driver Are You? Driving is a task we must take part in on a daily basis, but after several years of driving in frustrating and hectic rush hour traffic one can begin to hate even the thought of going to the grocery store. The roads are filled with very different types of drivers; Competent, Overly Cautious, Distracted, and Reckless are just a few of them. How we determine which category we best fall under can be a challenge, because in our minds we think we are good drivers, but in most cases we’re too oblivious to these classifications. First, there are the rare competent drivers who drive safely by not speeding and obey the common driving laws. Competent drivers are always coming to a full stop, looking both ways, using turn signals, and yielding when necessary. This type of driver is the most agreeable of the bunch, putting others at no risk. More of them on the road and the world would be a better place. We tend to think of bad drivers as the ones who charge down the road, wrecking everything in their path, but is it just as bad to be too cautious? Second to the competent, are the overly cautious drivers. They seem to be the ones to cause traffic jams and frustrate other drivers, because they are so indecisive and unpredictable. You know the kind - won't speed up to merge and stops at the end of on-ramps, sits helplessly at a four-way stop because they don't know what to do, slams on the brakes for no apparent reason, and, of course, refusing to exceed the...

...Intro: I am going to be explaining about what happened in the role play? We had a role play, where there was a case about Jackie Jones who was accused of dangerously driving contrary to Section 2 of the Road Traffic Act. The classroom was arranged into a Crown Court. There was one judge, one witness, one clerk, couple of students were members of the jury and some were members of the other juries, there were one usher, there were two lawyers, one lawyer was a defendant lawyer while the other lawyer was the prosecution lawyer, there were press and public watching finally there was a defendant who was the criminal. In this role I was actively a criminal and this is what I fulfilled. When the classroom was organised into a Crown Court, I took my seat and sat at the back of the court room as was instructed by the usher. I kept completely silent for the time being, until it was my turn to go to the witness box and give my statement. The minute the usher stood up and removed me from my seat and took me over to the witness box, this is the exact statement I gave. Statement I gave while I was inside the witness box: “I took delivery of my new Mazda sports car, from the garage Brookside Mazda and I was driving alongside Hillside Road. I live at 32 Able Close and I got stuck in the usual traffic jam. I am very familiar with the road as I drive it every day If I get stuck in traffic when I get close to my turning I have a habit of pulling out to the other side of the road...

...THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF KENYA NAME: MOSES GITOBU KINYUA REG NO.: 111/00104 COURSE: Bachelor of Engineering Geospatial Engineering DEPARTMENT: SURVEYING SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY UNIT: HIGHWAY & TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING ASSIGNMENT: How to reduce the number of road accidents in Kenya. LECTURER: Mr. Ogutu Submission date April 14, 2014. Introduction A road accident, also known as a traffic accident, motor vehicle collision, motor vehicle accident, car accident, automobile accident, road traffic collision, car crash, or car smash occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree or utility pole for instance electricity poles or fence poles. Traffic collisions may result in injury, death, vehicle damage and property damage. They have led to loss of thousands of life and others being paralyzed for the rest of their lives while others are left with permanent scars which remind them of the occurrence. It is regarded as one of the main cause of death after diseases. Here I am going to concentrate on how to reduce road accidents in Kenya through the various engineering disciplines in the country. These disciplines include geospatial engineering, civil and building engineering, mechanical engineering (automotive engineering) and electrical engineering. A. Improvement of road design to reduce accidents on black spots This area has the geospatial and civil engineers who mainly deal...

...Cycling – Creating the New Norm Martina Kahn Western Governors University WGU Student ID # 000390369 Cycling – Creating the New Norm Sitting down, whether in a vehicle, office or home, has become the principal offender in a worldwide obesity and diabetes pandemic that is damaging healthcare systems to the breaking point and increasing health risks to millions of overweight people. Administrations everywhere consider solutions that are economically feasible, easy to implement and improves patient health all at the same time. Together, they may have discovered their answer in a simple piece of engineering able to resolve all of these issues; the bicycle. However, research suggests that American society is not cyclist friendly due to drivers and/or cyclists not always being properly trained. Also, there is a need for bike lanes and laws that require road sharing. For the last five decades, only motorized vehicles have been considered in street designs throughout our country. Driver focused polices, education, and behaviors are an important part of the cycling safety encounter. Revolution in road and cycling infrastructure design is also needed as our population keeps growing. Care needs to be taken and investments made to ensure that everyone has a safe place to travel. In many ways, there has never been a better time to be a bicyclist. If you thought there were more bicyclists on the roads lately, you’d be right. Biking is thriving. The number of cyclists are growing...

...Reverse round a corner step by step technique The reverse round a corner or left corner reverse as it is sometimes known is one of 4 manoeuvres you will need to learn before taking the driving test. The reverse round a corner manoeuvre is also one of the more common manoeuvres asked by the test examiner for you to perform. This tutorial will demonstrate an ideal technique that the examiner will be looking for in order to pass this part of the driving test. The test examiner will be looking for 3 key skills demonstrated by yourself in order to successfully complete the reverse round a corner manoeuvre. These skills are: • • • Accuracy - The test examiner will be assessing your ability to reverse round the corner, not touching the curb or straying too far onto the other side of the road. Control - The examiner will be judging your ability to keep the car at a slow and stable speed by use of clutch control. Observation. Effective and all round observation must be taken whilst performing the reverse round a corner manoeuvre.

It was heavy traffic and other driver’s frustration appeared; when they were swerving their cars left and right trying to make their way out of traffic. I had my radio on and the news was about a car accident on San Mateo Bridge, which already started my day off wrong from that moment. As I was counting down the miles toward my destination, driving my car on the carpool lane going 65 miles per hour which was the legal speed limit for the freeway. Cruising on the far left lane, driving a 2005 black Jeep Cherokee that had four large tires which made me higher and oversee the whole view of the freeway. The incident started when I took a quick glance over my right shoulder and saw a blue, shiny-rimmed Toyota Runner, suv spinning out of control. The car instantly took my attention; the car was at the very far right lane so at the moment I did not doubt that the driver was going to make his way towards me immediately. Because it was raining hard and the road was wet which made him to slide all the way to the far left lane. At first he hit the concrete freeway dividers suddenly, I instantly slammed my breaks until I saw smoke coming out from the tires and then blew up. He spun 180 degrees and stopped facing the incoming traffic. I look at my right side and many cars were coming and my left side was the divider of the freeway. I was trying to avoid crashing...

...Actions of all roadway users including pedestrians, animals, bicyclists, and other drivers impact your level of risk as a driver. To help manage risk, it is essential that you remain alert to conditions or objects that can increase levels of risk. Here is a checklist to help you manage risk: Conduct a thorough visual search. Search 30 seconds ahead of your path of travel for objects or conditions that could become a threat. Have a plan. Identify an alternate path of travel 15 seconds ahead, and the level of traction available in case of an emergency. Never tailgate. Always travel with an adequate cushion of space ahead of your vehicle. Position your vehicle with space to the sides and the front with an escape route, should you need it. Obey all traffic controls. Exercise the right-of-way rules. Drive defensively. Try to predict the possible actions of other highway users. Do not drive where you cannot see. If your vision is blocked, reduce your speed and reposition your vehicle so you can see well ahead, and around your vehicle; do not forget to look behind. See and be seen. Communicate your presence to other road users by always driving with your daytime running lights or low-beam headlights. Remember, if you cannot see them, they probably cannot see you. Look where you want your vehicle to go. Avoid distractions. Avoid sudden steering and braking movements. Be a considerate driver. Keep your vehicle in...
