Intelligent Traffic Management Systems
Intelligent Traffic Management Systems refer to any kind of contemporary smart solution or technological adaptation that provides innovative, technology-driven services related to the organizing, arranging and controlling of vehicular, cyclists and pedestrian traffic in a bid to enable safer, more orderly, and more effective use of road transport networks.
Big Data Analysis in Transportation
Thanks to transportation data analytics, commuters in modern cities now have better access to real-time traffic information such as trip distances and estimated commute times, blocked routes, accidents on routes, routes with traffic congestion and alternative routes, amongst other uses.
Intelligent Transport Systems
The value of this connectivity is based on obtaining and sharing of relevant information that empowers participants and users to make better informed transportation decisions that improve their quality of life as a whole.
Rainwater Harvesting and Reuse
With the advance in technology and with climate change shifting what we know as the norm, rainwater harvesting may just be that missing piece to sustainable, cheap/free water supply we crave.
Tsunami Preparedness and Mitigation
This guide describes how to develop tsunami inundation and evacuation maps and how to increase the community tsunami readiness and preparedness, including through drills and exercises.
Urban Runoff Quality Control
Urban runoff is the flow of stormwater, water from landscape irrigation and other human activities such as car washing which flow on the surface of impervious surfaces such as parking lots, roads and sidewalks created for the purpose by urbanization and development.
Architectural Design for Cultural Sensitivity
Architecture is one of the ways culture is manifested and expressed, and as such, architecture and culture are interrelated.
VEHICLE-TO-INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNICATION
V2I Communication is the wireless, bi-directional exchange of data and information between vehicles and road infrastructure components to transmit, store, and deliver accurate data for processing and analysis into real time traffic information disseminated to road users.
Water Sensitive Urban Design
Water sensitive urban design (WSUD) is an engineering and land planning approach which marries factors of the urban water cycle.
ENERGY-GENERATING BUILDING COMPONENTS
At the forefront of energy-generating building components is photovoltaics, a technology that converts sunlight into electricity. Photovoltaic systems consist of solar panels made up of photovoltaic cells, which capture the sun's energy and convert it into usable electrical power.
