Insurance companies‚ police agencies‚ state transportation departments‚ and national safety organizations would have us believe that speed limits are a critical component of traffic regulation. Without those numbers on the signs and radar-wielding highway patrols‚ the entire system would self-destruct. This belief is based on several dubious precepts‚ none of which have ever been proven or justified. The most basic of

We chose 54 m of study length because the traffic stream average speed in front of Polytechnics Sultan Azlan Shah is 60km/h. 2. We used cone as a marker so it will easy to capture the speed limit when the vehicles pass by the marker. 3. Three of our group members were assigned to measure and put the cone at the road. 3.3 Collection of data 1. All of our group

The impact of congestion in high speed network and why do we need to control it. Over the past decade‚ the speed of computer and telecommunications networks has improved substantially This rapid growth in speed is expected to continue over the next decade‚ because many new applications in important areas such as data and video will demand very high network bandwidths. Each device on a network has a limited amount of memory for storing the data that travels over the network. When the amount of data
