  • Policy Position on Traffic Education & Driver Training: a Lifelong Journey
    POLICY POSITION ON TRAFFIC EDUCATION & DRIVER TRAINING: A LIFELONG JOURNEY SAFETY Executive Summary A safe road transport system requires tailored education and training interventions at every step of one’s life. Since human error is recognised as a major contributory factor to road casualties, Loaso Josep ©RACC Photography Mobility Clubs and the FIA have put in place programmes to ensure lifelong learning for road users. Every traffic participant should be encouraged to undertake a process of continuous personal development. FIA recommends: • The financing and conducting of awareness campaigns for parents on proper use of Child Restraint Systems • That traffic education in schools be made mandatory across the EU 28 • A revision of the driving licence systems to mandate a multi-phase retraining system whereby novice drivers have to undertake further training to validate their licence • A revision of the European Directive 2003/59/EC on periodic training of professional drivers extending the minimum list of topics to improve the effectiveness of the trainings. For instance, training on higher order skills such as self-assessment and the impact of attitudes on road risk should be addressed • A revision of the European Directive 2003/59/EC on periodic training of professional drivers to include practical training (in-vehicle, or at the very least in simulators) as a requirement • The promotion and provision of voluntary refresher and assessment driving courses tailored to senior citizens; and the provision of mobility alternatives and information to enable seniors to remain mobile while guaranteeing their safety The FIA welcomes the European Commission’s plan to continuously develop its strategy for road user education and training, as stated in the interim evaluation of the European road safety policy orientations 2011-20201.

  • Evaluation of Iso 11785 Low-Frequency Radio Identification Devices and the Characterization of Electromagnetic Interference in Practical Cattle Management Scenarios
    EVALUATION OF ISO 11785 LOW-FREQUENCY RADIO IDENTIFICATION DEVICES AND THE CHARACTERIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE IN PRACTICAL CATTLE MANAGEMENT SCENARIOS by SARAH ELLEN RYAN B.S., Washington State University, 2006 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Animal Science and Industry College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2008 Approved by: Major Professor D. A. Blasi Abstract Low-frequency (LF) radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders (n = 1,993) representing both full-duplex and half duplex air interface technologies were evaluated. Transponders representing five manufacturers and seven types were evaluated for read distance (RD), resonance frequency (RF) and voltage response (VR). LF RFID transceivers (n = 24) were also evaluated for performance and variance as tested by read distance. Transponders were sorted into four categories based on RD performance on three transceivers, “Top 25%,” “Middle 50%,” “Bottom 25%,” and “No Read.” These categories were used for evaluation of transponders and transceivers in experiments one and two, respectively. In experiment one, the mean RF of the “Top 25%” transponders were closer to 134.2 kHz (P < 0.05) within a transponder type (TT). TT and mean RD performance category interacted to affect the VR of transponders (P < 0.05); transponders with lower VR tended to have longer RD within a TT. In experiment two, sixty transponders from the “Middle 50%” were used to evaluate transceivers. Transceivers represented five manufacturers and five transceivers per manufacturer; one transceiver was eliminated from testing due to mechanical problems. There was a significant interaction (P < 0.0001) for TT and transceiver manufacturer.

  • ISO Update Marec 2011
    International Standards in process An International Standard is the result of an agreement between the member bodies of ISO. A first important step towards an International Standard takes the form of a committee draft (CD) - this is circulated for study within an ISO technical committee. When consensus has been reached within the technical committee, the document is sent to the Central Secretariat for processing as a draft International Standard (DIS). The DIS requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. A confirmation vote is subsequently carried out on a final draft International Standard (FDIS), the approval criteria remaining the same.
