The Current Road Safety Measures

BEFORE CONDUCTING THE EXPERIMENT - You should already have submitted to your teacher an EXCELLENT Investigation Design that included:

( A short summary of the experimental investigation and its conclusions. It includes a statement of the aim, short description of the method, main results and a conclusion and implications or recommendations.)

Between the months of December 2016 and January 2017 driving incidents have slightly increased. Eighty percent of the incidents were minor fender benders. There are many other reasons that could potentially contribute to this slight increase of incidents. However, incident free driving requires 100% effort from the drivers and anything less increases the probability of an incident. The safety team put together new initiatives for vehicles safety. The main purpose is to promote zero accidents and positively impact behavior change.

Materials: A complete list of equipment must be provided including measuring devices.Diagram / Photo:

Since the first gasoline powered vehicle was invented, automobile technology has advanced at a rapid pace to bring us faster, safer vehicles (Managing Speed). Roads have improved from dirt and gravel to asphalt and concrete, and the number of vehicles on the road has increased exponentially. The motor vehicle has become the backbone of today’s society. Speed limits in the United States are at the highest they have ever been, yet vehicles today are powerful enough to easily exceed those posted speed limits. There are two very different groups of people advocating for what a reasonable speed limit is: a group lobbying for extreme safety and a group lobbying for faster travel times. Driving is an inherently risky undertaking no matter what the speed limit is, thus a compromise is tried to be met by increasing safety while allowing for practical travel times. There have been various methodologies theorized in setting speed limits, but which one is the best for today’s technologies and environments?

The materials used in this lab were water,a petri dish, matches, a 150mL beaker, one candle. a graduated cylinder and a ruler.

Conclusion After reviewing the results from this experiment I can say that my hypothesis was supported. The car travelling the fastest was white car number 4 because it took 2.87 seconds to cover the 50 metres. Once we calculated the average speed of this car we found that it was 62.64km/h, which was above the speed limit in the area. Furthermore, the blue car finished the 50 metres in 4.12 seconds, making it the slowest car that we recorded data on.

Equipment needed for this laboratory are: a sharpened pencil, broad-tipped marker, a warped meter stick,

Lab - Determining the Thickness of Aluminum Foil By: Ishaan Sharma Problem: How can you determine the thickness of a piece of aluminum foil, in centimetres? Variables: Independent Variable – Size. We were able to change the size of the foil and it could not change by any other variable.

Cars have revolutionised the mode of transport for humans and since their first invention in 1885, they have had an incredible revamp to them. Some of these factors include speed, design, and durability, but even so these ever-changing evolutionary changes came with a price, safety. With the modern era of car development the necessity of car safety has been one of the most demanding dynamics in car design as of the 20th century. To understand and improve the safety of cars, a vast knowledge of multiple physics concepts are required.

1) Given the theme of the final project (Safety on Our Roadways), it is only natural that the interview should be with someone who is able to provide useful information on the threats that exist on roadways, instruments and solutions to mitigate these risks, and how each individual should be involved in ensuring that safety on roadways is maximized and that risks are minimal.

The two examples of Senate testimony are quite different, from the congenial non-urgent approach of Fred Rogers perhaps a more pressing issue from the late 1960s might have made a better comparable to the urgency of Al Gore's 2009 testimony on climate change. The tone of the interview is a major difference, and I would want to deal with road safety more with the tone used in the Fred Rogers approach. The reason is simple I can read statistics for myself. What I would want to get from my interview is a sense from those involved in road safety police officers, transportation authority officials and civil engineers as to what approaches work best. I want a philosophical guidepost for tackling the problem of road safety. I do not need to be spurred to action, but rather I want to hear from people who are already doing it right.

Everyday many people become involved in road accidents. Some get killed, some just become injured where they have no use of a body part anymore. What really is the problem with the cause of these road accidents? Do people think that teenagers shouldn’t drive till their older than sixteen? Do people think that as an elderly person they shouldn’t drive if they have certain health conditions? All of these questions can be answered but they haven’t because this is an everyday problem they we deal with and might just have the answer of people just need to be safer on the road. What really is the problem with road safety and can there actually be a solution to it rather than careless driving and age excuses? Are the preventive campaigns and advertisement actually working on the prevention of people being unsafe?

Road traffic incidents are becoming a regular issue nowadays. In spite of many remedial actions taken by a government to solve these issues, there are ever increasing. The road accidents becoming another big c health concern at the public level. The accidents have risen up to around 50 million injuries and 1.2 million of deaths around the world. Talking about Dubai specifically it is a lucrative country for businesses and offers a luxury lifestyle for all, these attractions have made it a very high traffic area. All the steps taken to control the issue are the constraint and are offered limited success. The researches made on the matter under discussion are usually undisclosed and thus remain unsolved. Hence, Dubai encounters a very high level of traffic issues and accidents. Research on road safety has been conducted for several years, yet many issues still remain undisclosed and unsolved. There are many stakeholders that are concerned with this issue as their lives are directly or indirectly affected by such issues, that cause troubles in daily life and may also lead to death in a case of accidents.
