MAJOR CHALLENGES OF

ROADWAYSTraffic Volume Studies

Pavement Design

Design of Bridges and Culverts

Terrain Surveying

Passenger SafetySignaling and Traffic Control

TRAFFIC VOLUME STUDIES

Done using a camera or manually.

Data is then analyzed using Statistical

analysis Tools like IBMsSPSS.

Data so obtainedis then used for

design of roadsbyusing Technicalsoftware likeMX Road.


5/36

TRAFFIC CONTROL AND SIGNALING

Now, most of the traffic control is done usingcomputerized traffic signals, which helps in

achieving automatic density based trafficsignaling.

Violation of Traffic rules are easily recorded oncomputerized cameras.

INTELLIGENT VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES

Computers are being actively used inmanufacturing and R&D activities for automobiles.

Automobiles come equipped with smart ignitionsystem, locking system and On-Board diagnostics.

Driver Less Cars are beingdeveloped

Automated Parking usingAudi-Connect.

4G LTE cars coming soon.

COMPUTERS IN AIRLINESDifferent systems interact to ensure that

planes stay on schedule and fly safely

Computers are involved in everything:

Passengers Travel Arrangement

Functioning of an Airport

Computers have reduced the

workload of humans.

Cost and convenience

Provides the standard assurances of the traditional paperticket, such as seating choice, travel time options and

other flexibilities.

AIRPORT SERVICESSecurity Screening Machines such as X-Rays

CCTV cameras

Ground Proximity Warning SystemFlight Envelope Protection

Safety-

Computers are more reliable and less prone tocausing problems.

Operate more accurately and are constantlymonitored.


34/36

AIR TRAFFICCommunication between air traffic controller

and pilots is synthesised with radar.

Information about weather forecast isobtained using computers.

Computers allow air traffic controller to

visualize and track location of planes in air.

Instructing pilots for correct course of action.


35/36

PLANE MECHANICSComputerised fly-by-wire technology transmits

autopilot signal to a computer.

Helps plane to respond to atmospheric variablesand make other adjustments.

Wing flaps can be controlled by a computer

Computers are central to efficient communication

Recording of an Airplanes flight data, which is vitalto air traffic controllers and assist in emergencysituations.
