...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...

...2015 – 11 – 19 Driver Attitudes and Behaviour Types and sources of road rage Road rage is when a driver starts driving aggressively because of a disagreement with another driver. It’s also considered road rage when a driver get angry, frustrated or loses their temper from a traffic incident. They’re many causes of road rage, the most common being angry. There is also other causes of road rage like: * Being stressed * Other drivers driving slowly * Other drivers overusing the car horn * Being tailgated * Heavy traffic * Gridlock * Feeling stressed * Construction delays or detours * Erratic or unsafe lane changes They is other types of road rage as well because not every type of driver lets out their anger the same way as another driver would. There is “verbal road rage” which is when a driver starts to either yell, cuss, make offensive/insulting gestures or obnoxiously honking. The second type of road rage is “Quiet Road Rage”. This is when the driver starts to complain, or either start rushing (speeding for example), competing (being faster than the other driver) or resisting (not allowing a driver to pass/enter a lane). Quiet road rage is the most common type of road rage among Canadians. The last type of road rage is “Epic Road Rage” which is where the driver starts to cut other drivers off, blocking other drives, chasing, or even resort to fighting and the use of weapons, with the intent of harming the other driver. This is the most...

...Essay-DRIVERS In my experience, there are three kinds of drivers in this world, The Erratic Driver, the Over Cautious Driver, and the Alert Driver. There is the Erratic Driver, this type of driver can seem to be fairly unpredictable on the road, with their tailgating and speeding, this person is the most hazardous to themselves and other travelers. Then there is the Over Cautious Driver, who is just as easy to spot as the Erratic Driver. They are normally going under the speed limit or close to it, this type of driver will slow up traffic, and in highly congested areas, they can be a hazard on the road from hesitating and not flowing well with the traffic. Finally, there is the Alert Driver, this type of driving style consists of paying attention to the surroundings, such as weather, potholes, and other traffic. The Erratic Driver: Has a tendency of pissing off other drivers, with their erratic and unpredictable actions. They can be 100 yards behind you one second, and the next second they're so close that you can't read their license plate. They seem to always be in a hurry, whether they actually are in a hurry or not doesn't matter, the erratic driver is not a safe driver. Here's a tip from a recovering lead foot, you can't control other drivers, so pull your foot off the pedal, you can only affect your share of the road. Driving the speed limits will save you fines, and insurance hikes, and it will help you go with the flow of traffic. The Over Cautious Driver: This type of...

...Q1. What is device driver? OR Use of driver software. Ans. A device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. Uses of device driver: a. A device driver simplifies programming by acting as a translator between a hardware device and the applications or operating systems that use it. Programmers can write the higher-level application code independently of whatever specific hardware device it will ultimately control, because code and device can interface in a standard way, regardless of the software superstructure or of underlying hardware b. The device-driver accepts these generic high-level commands and breaks them into a series of low-level device-specific commands as required by the device being driven. c. Drivers can provide a level of security as they can run in kernel-mode thereby protecting the operating system from applications running in user-mode. SECTION - B ( 5 MARKS ) ...

...Cost Drivers and Company Activities Organizations require different types of supporting activities (administration, purchasing, marketing, logistics, etc.) to co-ordinate their products services. The accounting for different types of supporting overhead costs, as well as for material and labour costs, is important. Design and classification of cost drivers for accounting organizational and operational activities are usually the first cost accounting tasks to be handled. Cost drivers A cost driver is the unit of an activity that drives the change of cost in production or servicing. It refers to any activity that causes a cost to be incurred. In traditional costing, the cost driver used to allocate overhead costs to cost objects relates to quantity of output. There are usually two main types of supporting cost. The first is a resource driver, which is the contribution of the quantity of resources used to cost an activity, such as one kilogram of flour for bread production and one operator hour for manufacturing work. Examples of an overhead cost and resource cost driver are electricity costs and the number of machine hours. The second is an activity driver, which is the cost incurred by the activities required to complete a specific task. With changes in business structures, technology and related cost structures, output quantity are not the only cost driver. Examples of overhead costs and activity cost drivers are inspection costs and the number of inspections or the hours...

...Chen ERD To describe car reservation database, the first step we used is high level or conceptual data model. Conceptual data model uses entities, attributes and relationships. We have 4 strong entities and one weak entity. Below is a list of each entity and their attributes in a table. We selected a primary key for each strong entity. The primary key is underlined and noted with (PK) under the attributes list. We have one weak entity named DRIVER. It doesn’t have a primary key by itself. It depends on the customer. But we chose the driver ID as a partial key. The relationship among entities will be described using ERD later in the Chen ER diagram section of this project. ENTITY | ATTRIBUTES | CUSTOMER | * Name * address * Phone number * Email * Customer ID (PK) | DRIVER | * Name * Address * Phone Number * Driver ID (Partial K) | RESERVATION | * Reservation ID(PK) * Deposited amount * Pickup date * Return date | RENTAL_COMPANY | * Address * Name * Company Code (PK) | CAR_TYPE | * Type Code (PK) * make * model * maximum weight | CAR_DETAIL | * license number (PK) * engine serial number * year * available * mileage * number of seats | The second step is to present the ERM using the entities, their attributes and relationship among them.

...ICT 1.DEVICE DRIVER In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent software interface. Purpose A device driver simplifies programming by acting as translator between a hardware device and the applications or operating systems that use it. Programmers can write the higher-level application code independently of whatever specific hardware the end-user is using. Physical layers communicate with specific device instances. For example, a serial port needs to handle standard communication protocols such as XON/XOFF that are common for all serial port hardware. This would be managed by a serial port logical layer. However, the physical layer needs to communicate with a particular serial port chip. 16550 UART hardware differs from PL-011. The physical layer addresses these chip-specific variations. Conventionally, OS requests go to the logical layer first. In turn, the logical layer calls...

...Cockpit Control Forces or How Robust Do Driver Controls Really Need To Be? I look forward to racing competitions, not only for the obvious reasons (you get to see a lot of neat, different cars, and talk to a lot of incredibly bright engineering students), but also because it is the one time of year when all the Design Judges, Tech volunteers, Rules Committee members, and the other visionary individuals who make racing what it is, are gathered together. We use this opportunity to talk over ideas face to face and gain a better view of the ‘Big Picture’ so to speak. One of the topics that came up over dinner one evening, this past May, was sub-system robustness, or how strong does a steering/brake/accelerator/gearshift (you pick one) system really need to be? This is a topic which all RACING volunteers (Design Judges & Scrutineers in particular) are sensitive to because we, on occasion, have actually broken student built cars. Make no mistake about it, when this happens, we feel very badly that we have broken something which students have put long hard hours of design/build/test time into. However, we are also quick to point out that we would much rather see the suspect part break standing still, rather than out on the track where someone (be it a student driver, or worse yet, an innocent spectator) could be injured or worse. Unfortunately, some students get upset, and feel that they are being unfairly singled out, because: “We tested that ____...

...offers two types of security authentication: SQL Server authentication and Windows authentication. SQL Server authentication authenticates the user to the database using a database user name and password. Windows authentication is also referred to as "Windows Integrated Security" or a "trusted connection" because it relies on the user being authenticated, or “trusted,” by the operating system. Windows authentication is the authentication mode recommended by Microsoft. Windows authentication takes advantage of Windows user security and account mechanisms. By allowing Microsoft SQL Server to share the user name and password used for Windows, users with a valid Windows account can log into Microsoft SQL Server without supplying a user name and password. In addition to a single login within a Windows domain, Windows authentication provides a more secure mechanism for logging into Microsoft SQL Server. Standard Windows security mechanisms also provide the added advantages of auditing, password aging, minimum password length, and account lockout after multiple invalid login requests. The DataDirect Connect® for JDBC® SQL Server driver is the only JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server that provides two methods for supporting Windows authentication, a Pure Java (Type 4) implementation and a Windows-specific (Type 2) implementation. The Windows-specific implementation requires minimal configuration to enable Windows authentication; however, it can only be used when the driver is running...

...Team 5 Proposal Alison Frey, Dan Gray, Scott Monroy, Lisa Nemec Are Minnesotans better drivers than Wisconsinites? Statistics 201.07 Instructor Shafi A. Khaled Project Overview The competitive relationship between Minnesota and Wisconsin is a time tested tradition that we have all grown up knowing. From our sports teams to who has a better tourist draw, Minnesotans and Wisconsinites love to debate on who has the better state. One thing is consistent however; Minnesota and Wisconsin share a very similar pattern of weather. With that weather cycle, there inevitably will be accidents. These accidents can be caused by a number of factors, but weather is typically to blame in the majority of them. Other factors might include age, race, and gender. One thing is certain though, we believe that Minnesotans are the better drivers in inclement weather conditions and we intend to prove this through data collection and analysis. We believe that in the end, Minnesota will have the better drivers. Project Proposal Problem: Minnesotans and Wisconsinites continually complain about the weather and the drivers’ bad driving habits of the other state. We want to determine which of the two states have the most motor vehicle accidents during inclement weather conditions. We believe these accidents are due to outside conditions and that there will be a decrease in the amount of accidents during sunny conditions versus an increase in the number of accidents when there are adverse weather...
