On The Road

Travelling day to day became integrated part of everyone. To travel we use different types of vehicles. A machine is not for a life time and with day to day usage and time-tested in various conditions, it is meant to witness some kind of breakdowns. Many breakdowns can be resolved on the spot by self-repairing. A lot of people are facing difficulties getting help when their Vehicle breaks down on the road. These problems are the motivations for the development of this project to help those who are in need when their Vehicle breaks down along the roads. The objective is to develop an django application that will help the user to avail help by using the application and get access to the nearby mechanic and thereby contact them.

The Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour is a major event on the road cycling calendar. The majority of cyclists travel significant distances and participation produces a substantial carbon footprint. This paper examines participants’ willingness to pay to offset their carbon footprint. The purpose of this paper is to make a contribution to the literature by linking willingness to pay to attitudes towards or beliefs (green views) about the initiatives in place, to ensure a greener cycle tour. Factor analysis is used to identify different types of cyclists, based on their green views: those with green money, those who prefer green products and the “re-cyclers”. The results of the regression analysis reveal that socio-demographic variables and the right attitude towards the environment are significant predictors of stated willingness to pay for climate change mitigation.

Box Culvert

The culvert is small structures that are required for the under roads and its uses for the crossing of water like streams under the roads. The culvert structure balances the water flow on both sides of the roads, also is protecting and balance of the embankment to reduce the water flow level. There are different types of culverts shapes, and they are circle, arch, Slap & box; therefore, these can be constructed by using different materials like; stones, bricks, reinforced cement concrete. Since the culvert crossing under the earthen embankment, so the culvert is subjecting a traffic load similarly as the roads carry; therefore, they required to be designed for such loads the acting on the surface of the culvert. This project is dealing with the RCC box culvert with and without cushions. The cushion depends on the road profile at the culvert location.

Abstract In a preceding article, we expressed the hypothesis that probably no discontinuity exists between abrasion testing on the road and that on laboratory machines. The latter showed the peculiarity of being characterized by its very high severity. Let us recall briefly that the severity is expressed by the absolute wear of a reference mixture during the test considered. We were able to verify the existence of a relationship independent of the type of testing carried out, but a function of the severity of the tests, between the wear of an experimental mixture and a reference mixture. This relation manifests itself in different types of mixtures in the form of regressing lines. These are shown in Figure 1 where we have used logarithmic coordinates. The correlation coefficients calculated for different regressions are in the neighborhood of 0.93 to 0.95 and consequently very highly significant. The interpretation and use of the curves shown on the graph necessitates, however, a few remarks of importance: Firstly, it must be noted that each of the lines corresponds to a particular standard of comparison. Each of them is independent of the others. for example, for that labelled “Rubber-Resin A”, the comparison rests on the wear of this type of combination rubber-resin as a function of the wear of the mixture (natural rubber containing 28 volumes of HAF black) having served as a reference for the tests, while for the line labelled “Rubber + SAF black”, the reference mixture is a natural rubber containing 28 volumes of MPC black. It will not be necessary then, in any case to compare the curve for “Rubber-SAF Black” to that for “Rubber-Resin A”.

The current scenario of energy demands in India have waded new research areas for hunting the alternative energy resources to compensate the polluting non renewable resources. It brings larger importance to the idea of harvesting the frictional energy between the Roads and the vehicular tyres. This is exerted as a stress on the road surface accompanied by Heat dissipation. This wasted form for energy can be made productive by using Piezoelectric Generator and Thermoelectric Generator. Piezoelectric Generator generates electricity in response to stress acting on its mechanical axis while Thermoelectric Generator generates power when an ambient temperature difference is provided. These are embedded below the road surface with suitable insulations and proper structure to improve its performance. This system would have very low capital cost when compared to the total cost of power generation, transmission and distribution in conventional power generation methods with the life time of this system in concern . The pollution free electricity thus generated from the road by using these generators can be stored in a battery and later used for the domestic electrification. This method will be best suited for the electrification of all time loads like Traffic signals, street lights, lighting especially in highways.

Road Marking

The factors that influence on functional durability of the road marking, in particular, the type, quality, condition and surface structure of the road surface are considered in the article. The durability of the road marking will be significantly reduced on asphalt pavement with low quality bitumen or with a high content of bitumen in the mixture. As a result of bitumen fogging, the road marking loses its performance, especially affecting luminance and retroreflectivity. The degree of pavement wear also affects the durability. Old, fragile pavement is unable to retain the road marking for a long time, so its service life will be extremely low. The wear of road marking on the cement pavement is higher than on the asphalt pavement. This is due to the peculiarities of the interaction of pavements of different chemical nature with the road marking materials. The article presents the results of studies of the effect of pavement with different roughness and different types on the properties of retroreflectivity. It is established that on the road sections with pavement having a rough surface treatment, retroreflectivity is reduced by 2-3 times in comparison with the asphalt pavement with a smooth surface. Also, the results of the studies showed that the wear of the road marking lines on the surface with high roughness after 3 months of operation is almost 2 times higher than the degree of road marking wear on the smooth surface. On cement pavement the decrease of retroreflectivity occurs more intensively during the first months of operation. The areas with cement pavement wear faster than on those with smooth asphalt pavement, but not as intensively as the areas with surface treatment. To ensure the durability of road marking on asphalt pavement with treated surface treatment and of cement pavement in comparison with the road marking on asphalt pavement with natural roughness, it is necessary to give preference to the road marking materials with higher viscosity (cold and hot plastics) or increase application of paint amount by 50-60 %, as well as increase the specific use of glass beads and of bigger fractions. Keywords: road marking, wear, surface treatment, retroreflectivity, paint, roughness.

The need to address the problem of thermal comfort inside a car cabin is becoming more significant for the automobile industry especially as recent developments in vehicle styling entail an increase in the glazed surfaces of the car, in particular for sky-roof models. The extended glazed surfaces produce an increase in radiative thermal loads on the area involved and so greater attention is being given to the enhancement and upgrading of the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system capacity, and efforts are being made to find solutions to the problem of thermal comfort inside the cabin. This paper is a first experimental study which focuses on assessing the performance of four different types of special laminated sky-roof (with a low-emissivity internal surface). A performance comparison between special and traditional sky-roofs has been carried out in a field test (on the road) in summer conditions. The main results show that the special sky-roofs allow the temperature inside the car cabin to be reduced.

In the years before World War I there were few people who thought that cinema was or might become an art form. From about 1910, however, signs emerged that cinema was on the road to acquiring some sort of legitimacy. These signs initially pointed in different directions, but eventually a cluster of forms developed, which were to become the cinema as we know it today. ‘Cinema as art form’ considers how cinema has developed through the evolution of editing and narrative techniques and sound synchronization, and then discusses different types of film genre, the neo-realism movement, and the diverse varieties of modern cinema.

The percentage of vehicles on the road increasing day by day, which tends to increase the consumption of fuel and emission of this product hazardous to environment. The usage of fossil fuels should be reduced and also it should be available to future generation also. The emission of fuel products is hazardous to the environment and also to the human being. Considering this into account reduction of usage of fossil fuel is main concept i.e. Electric Bicycle. So the available bicycle would run on alternative source which reduces the human effort. For the bicycle to run a e-kit fixture is designed and manufactured in such a way that it is suitable for different types of bicycles. So that the fixing and removal of kit takes place in few minutes and it can be fitted other cycles. After assembling the e-kit to the bicycles it should run without human effort whenever needed.

AbstractThere have appeared, over the past thirty years or so, numerous stylistic investigations on transitivity, which tend to focus on the contrast between different types of transitivity process. This article, however, directs attention to how a literary writer creates a thematically-motivated contrast within the same (sub-)type of transitivity process. The case chosen for illustration is Langston Hughes's “On the Road” (1952). It is argued that such an internal contrast may, by way of semantic reorganization, change the nature of certain transitivity processes on a deeper level, and further, that the functioning of such context-determined deeper-level meaning, which interacts with the conventional surface meaning, depends on double decoding. Based on the analysis, the present study offers a comparison between stylistic analysis and literary criticism to help to show the usefulness of the former in advancing literary interpretation.
