Bay Area Rapid Transit(BART) system provides residents in Bay Area with convenient and rapid transportation service among nine counties [1]. After the concept of BART was born in late 1940, the BART board of directors was created in 1957 which had 12 members and controlled the whole BART project. They entitled a consortium of 3 engineering companies Parsons, Brinkerhoff-Tudor-Bechtel (PBTB) to direct the construction of BART which began about 1963 [4]. BART system tried to apply many innovative technologies
on Miami with sea level rise. Thus the Miami River area is prone to flooding because of its low elevation and itself act as a conduit for water to flow into some
The city corporation plans subways, pedestrian overpasses and flyovers to address traffic problems. A Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) was approved for the city under the JNNURM.[11] This will make use of dedicated lanes for buses, allowing for an efficient, high-speed mode of transport for the public, reducing traffic congestion and improving safety. The project
Reflective :1 Environmental degradation Any type of activities which alters the systems of the environment and he disturbances caused to air,water,soil and the eco systems is known as environmental degradation. Its under the top ten threats in the united nations panel. Because of environmental degradation illness and premature deaths occur in large numbers. A report says that human health is deteriorating in the past decades. If improvements
Introduction The competitive drivers of the 21st century are time and service (responsiveness and flexibility). The notions of stabilizing flow and reducing variations are no longer competitive practices. More to point, three forces separately and in combination are driving today’s companies deeper and deeper into a territory that most of the executive and managers find frighteningly unfamiliar. These forces are the 3 C’s, customer, competition and change. Customers: - Seller no longer has upper
What is logistics? "Logistics means having the right thing, at the right place, at the right time." [pic] Logistics - (business definition) Logistics is defined as a business planning framework for the management of material, service, information and capital flows. It includes the increasingly complex information, communication and control systems required in today 's business environment. -- (Logistix Partners Oy, Helsinki, FI, 1996) Logistics - (military definition) The science of planning
The financing schemes for the proposed alternatives must also be examined, and the project will be programmed with respect to the timing for its completion and for available cash flows. After the scope of the project is clearly defined, detailed engineering design will provide the blueprint for construction, and the definitive cost estimate will serve as the baseline for cost control. In the procurement and construction stage, the
textbook, materials management includes all activities in the flow of materials from the supplier to the consumer. Such activities include physical supply, operations planning and control, and physical distribution. Other terms sometimes used in this area are business logistics and supply chain management. Often, the emphasis in business logistics is on transportation and distribution systems with little concern for what occurs in the factory. Whereas some chapters in this text are devoted to transportation
in performance, or aesthetics, and does not necessarily entail higher cost. While one can spend considerably more for green materials, careful shoppers will find cost-competitive environmentally-preferable options. For example, a joint US EPA/Army study of more than 2200 paints showed environmentally preferable options cost an average of $1.76 less per gallon 2 gallon. Considerations This booklet offers simple suggestions to help select greener options for a wide array of common materials, and
