Intermodal transport

Have you ever seen an accident on your way to school and wondered how did that happen or why did that happen? You have seen drivers drive crazy and end up crashing with other drivers, or wondering is it because they do not follow rules or laws? Whether or not there are rules, drivers think this is freedom so that they can do whatever they want. When you drive inexperienced, distracted, under the influence and or rushed, it can be life or death for you and other drivers. First, whenever drivers…

Tom’s the Fiddler Crab Catcher One late afternoon as I look out from a large window where I work, I saw this raggedy white van pulling into the parking lot, as It park towards the north side of the lot I noticed the AC unit protruding from the back door. I changed my attention as a customer came in, I greet him and as usual with his nasty attitude Newport’s one hundred, a blue game and the rest on pump 5. He swayed the bundle up twenty- dollar bill on the counter, rotated around and walk away…

Winter tires placed on all four corners provide the traction and control you need when driving is treacherous. Tire chains go one step further, enabling your vehicle to grip packed-down snow and continue on your way. But when it comes to deep drifting snow, even a four-wheel drive vehicle is bound to get stuck. Until now, thanks to a revolutionary track system that punches through the most challenging drifts. Track N Go: Drifts Begone! The system we’re watching is Track N Go, developed by AD…

It will be such a great thing to have in our society, here are some of the reasons why; people that suffer with problems like grandparents that can’t really move, the car monitor will help them…

Vehicles roar past me down the street and make strands of hair wrap around my face. There are so many colors that surround me in the autumn atmosphere. Pine and evergreen is the smell that enters my nose as I breath. It looks like the typical autumn season. Looking past the trees and cars I can just vaguely make out indigo triangles in the distance. Better known as the mountains of Colorado. We’ve just came back to visit my family in Colorado and I’m taking a stroll down Sand Trap Way in…

Labor costs were the transit operators’ biggest single cost. Up until the advent of the Birney Safety car in 1915, nearly every mass transit vehicle regardless of traction type had a crew of two men; a motorman and a conductor. The motorman operated the car, the conductor was responsible for passenger safety, collecting fares and all other aspects of customer service. Eliminating one man cut labor costs in half on the cars. The Birney Safety car introduced automatic interlocks that prevent the…

On March 2, 2018 at approximately 1929 hours, I observed a silver Mercury utility vehicle bearing Florida tag JITE29 traveling south on Port Richey Village LP approaching the intersection of Richey DR in Port Richey, FL. The vehicle passed a posted right turn only sign, but made a left turn onto Richey DR in violation of the posted traffic control device. I conducted a lawful traffic stop on the Mercury and made contact with the driver. The driver was identified by his Florida identification…

Over the summer I was going through a great deal of obstacles. As the end was nearing, I decided I really needed to figure some things out. Therefore I decided to take a drive one day after work. Both of my parents were working so I was free to go wherever for the time. As soon as I got in the car after work I could feel the humidity and smell the stale air. I started the car and plugged my phone in so I could listen to music. I started playing something by Silverstein or Attila because…

Centre St. near the Lyric the COMPLAINANT walked to my patrol car and advised me there is a physical fight in progress in front of the Mexican Bar.

Centre St. and activated the emergency lights on my patrol…

Autonomous Cars: The Next Frontier The idea of an autonomous car has fascinated the world ever since the invention of the automobile in the late 1800s. Unfortunately, the technology needed for such a car was just not there. Recently, many car companies have released driver-assisting technologies to make the roads safer, such as cruise control, a system that keeps the speed of a car constant, and lane departure warning systems, systems that warn the driver that he or she is drifting out of a lane…
