One thing we must realize is when we make rules to help in aspects of safety the must not slow the flow of traffic or transportation. Such rules should solve both problems, improve flow and improve safety. We must be careful not to make linear laws, which cause more deaths and injuries on our roads and highways.
For instance when improving the roads there are special markings, reflective paints and surface coatings, which work better in inclement weather such as fog, rain or wind storms. Also available to us are incredible new roadway materials, which reduce road noise, help the tires grip better, stop quicker, repel water and do not ice up as easy. Similar techniques have been learned to prevent ice from forming on bridges.

This would be the goal of student engineering teams who would be hailing from more than thirty of the elite universities in the whole country. These teams would be using SolidWorks software to get to such a goal. This event would be taking places this summer. SolidWorks is a registered trademark of SolidWorks Corporation. The corporation is actually a company that is holds goals like developing and marketing new software that could be used to design, analyze, and manage product data. In fact, this company is well known as the leading supplier of 3D CAD technology as well as other types of software that has been very helpful to teams set out on designing great products. |
There are many problems with freeways and toll ways in America. First the toll ways in America are clogging the flow of traffic. With the proper systems in place in major metro areas like the Los Angeles, Houston, Boston, Atlanta, Baltimore we can improve safety and traffic flows. Video cameras on the freeways are just one way to do this and a perfect example is the system in Seattle run by Battelle.
There are also ways protect the people, monitor the flow, prevent International terrorist attack using our roadways and infrastructures against us, while alleviating any impending rush hour grid lock. We must use the latest and greatest technologies to our advantage to improve highway safety and cut down on the 40,000 deaths per year. If we could cut that number in half in the next five years that would be truly a gift to America. Too many lives are cut short from deaths on our highways. In the last two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq we had some losses, but we also liberated two nations. On America’s highways we lost 2000% more lives and we have nothing to show for it, we do not need to fill up any more cemeteries with our loved ones. Think about it America.

Recently I was in Boise, ID on the West End of town there is a Lithia Dealership, which has put in a huge Quick Lube, Fast Lube in front of the dealership. There is obvious reasons to do this. One of course is that the car dealership can do the warranty work, another is increased profits and a third is customer loyalty. So does it work? Well we are seeing the Grocery Stores, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Costco, Kmart using this concept. So it should not surprise you that dealerships go out of their way to get people in. After all if you oil change takes 20 minutes you are apt to walk around the dealership and check out the new cars, tell friends and even wonder into the show room. Not bad and when your car is in need of repair a recent article in Auto Dealership News in June said that you are 45% more likely to bring in those major repairs if you do routine maintenance on site. And another article in OCT. 2003 in National Oil and Lube News showed that the increasing competition for quick oil change customers had increased three fold in the last three years. Anyone in the business should not be too shocked as the dealerships might even offer free oil changes to get you to buy a car in the first place or to offer as an incentive to keep you buying more cars from them in the future for other family members and the dealerships also realize as did Dallas Cadillac Auto Dealer Entrepreneur, Carl Sewel “Customer's For Life” |
