chosen for observation happens frequently- commonly performed by many individuals. The observation identified how often people did not come to a complete stop at different locations with various population frequencies (amount of other vehicles at intersection). It was observed that this behavior increased at the site with a higher frequency of other vehicles. This behavior (coming to a complete stop) is important in the safety of vehicle operators and pedestrians. By coming to a complete stop…
Have you ever wondered why there are so many car crashes at stop lights? Well with the info that I have collected and also info that I have found by doing a little research I can give you the answer. data that I have collected shows that four out of every ten teens are on their phones at a stop light, and five of every ten adult drivers are on their phones at a stop light (if you were wondering I collected all of my data on the same spot). Now you may ask why being on your phone at a stoplight…
Higginbotham correctly identifies two major fallacies of the traditional feminist historical lens that prevents it from being accessible to women of color. Her first issue is of the overwhelming omission of black female perspectives in mainstream historical analyses of gender which create an incomplete picture of gender oppression. Her indict of the new wave of feminist theories center around the problem of theorists “find[ing] little to say race.” Higginbotham’s extrapolations indicate that the…
1. INTRODUCTION Airspace constraints and controller workload are foremost among the factors limiting the airspace capacity. Controller workload is the physical and mental work that the controllers are supposed to undertake so that air traffic can be managed safely [1]. Airspace can be divided into subdivisions to provide more efficient air traffic services and to reduce the effect of the controller workload on Air Traffic Management capacity. This process is called the sectorization [2]. ATS…
of a person’s environment. In the Latin community family is very important and a top priority over anything else. These women showed to have a family of origin and a family of choice where they have to constantly protect at least one of their intersections. Being a lesbian, bisexual, or queer Latina woman can be hard because of your intersecting identities. As a minority in every identity of self you leave room to be…
work from her Georgetown apartment, heading out on I-404/Rt. 9 and finally onto Rt.1 through the ‘5-points’ intersection. Exactly the main roads heading east/west to all the vacation areas along this coastal region. Depending on the time and day, this path becomes heavily congested from the intersection of Rt-1 and Rt-9 at the 5-point intersection all the way west to I-404 and I-50 intersection and beyond. Since I-50 is the only path out of the peninsula at that stage and everyone traveling…
Safety Improvements David Weber wanted to install some new signal that were known to reduce accidents. There was only $50 000 at his disposal that afforded him to implement them at only one intersection. David was faced with a challenge of having to choose between two intersections, a rural and an urban intersection. This case can be argued from an act utilitarian perspective using cost-benefit analysis that the course of action that produces the greatest benefit relative to cost is the one that…
resonate deeply with me. On April 2, 2015 in the middle of the day my oldest sister, a student at Washington State University, was crossing in a marked crosswalk when she was hit, run over and dragged 26 feet by a full-sized SUV. This particular intersection is a marked crossing with flashing lights and clearly designated painting on the street. Before she crossed, she had pressed the buttons to illuminate the flashing signals and verified that no vehicles were approaching. Sadly, the safety…
Wallace interested me in that she spoke on the intersection of both identities. This interest has followed me throughout my academic career and shapes the way I approach a narrative. My coursework and time working at Race Forward, a racial justice organization, my school 's Women’s and Gender Center, and…
vehicle enter the intersection without slowing. It should be noted that the traffic control device on Walnut Street was a steady green light for nearly three (3) seconds. After the truck committed a violation, I observed a cell phone turn on inside the cab of the truck. I was able to get behind the vehicle and make a traffic stop on Chestnut Street. The driver, Jerome TAYLOR Jr., asked which light he allegedly went through and I explained to him that it was at the intersection…
