In Bulgaria, Kapsch TrafficCom secured the contract for constructing, technically equip- ping and technically supporting the nationwide tolling system for trucks over 3.5 metric tons as well as for launching the electronic toll sticker for cars. A joint venture between Kapsch TrafficCom and the Zambian company Lamise Trading Limited received a nationwide concession from the Zambian government to improve road safety and traffic management. tolltickets certified as an EETS provider. The European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) supplements the national electronic tolling systems of the member states and simplifies cross-border mobility for road users due to the fact that a vehicle operating internationally no longer needs to be equipped with a separate on-board unit (OBU) for every country. Kapsch PublicTransportCom. Mobile ticketing. In 2017/18, Kapsch PublicTransportCom fully concentrated on implementing its numer- ous customer projects in Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, the USA, and Africa. The mobile ticketing solution for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is worth highlighting. It enables passengers to order, purchase, and validate their tickets via a mobile app or on a mobile website. This provides users with access to 38 railway stations, 565 bus services and 210 transit buses in the Greater Atlanta metropolitan area. The MARTA project is carried out in cooperation with the sister companies Kapsch TrafficCom and Kapsch CarrierCom. Kapsch CarrierCom. Railway technologies. The successful transition to a future mobile communications standard represents a major challenge for railway operators in the coming years. In June 2017, Kapsch CarrierCom became a member of the Association of the European Rail Industry (UNIFE), which aims to ensure uniform standards for railway networks throughout Europe and safeguard the interoperability of railway systems in order to facilitate the creation of a standardized European railway system. Kapsch has implemented GSM-R networks for leading railway operators around the world such as SNCF (France) and Deutsche Bahn (Germany), and continues to be successful. For example, contracts have been concluded with the national railway operators in the Czech Republic, Ireland, and India. Telecommunication solutions. Kapsch CarrierCom implemented a nationwide “Software Enabled Network Densification™” solution for Hrvatski Telekom in Croatia and therefore forged ahead with its success story with this technology. As video traffic continues to increase globally, operators can only keep up with the aid of innovative and cost-effective solutions. The solution offered by Kapsch enables existing capacity to be expanded and optimizes future investments in mobile communication base stations. Kapsch BusinessCom. Joint-Venture for IoT digitalization solutions and services. In collaboration with the ORF subsidiary ORS comm and Microtronics, Kapsch BusinessCom formed the joint venture SENS, which is focused on IoT digitalization solutions and services on the basis of the LoRaWAN™ radio standard. SENS stands for Sensor Network Services and offers services, applications, and solutions for IoT (Internet of Things) digitalization projects and IoT organizations in Austria. Protection against Internet crime. Since 2017, Kapsch BusinessCom has had its own cyber defense center (CDC) for the detection, analysis, and containment of cyber attacks. Besides prevention, the CDC also focusses on the identification and isolation of cyber attacks. In case of an emergency, customers are consequently guaranteed not only short response times but also the establishment of a close-meshed security network. 2 | Kapsch Group Annual Report 2017/18 Kapsch Group.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Gambaran Umum Objek Penelitian Pay-Tv
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Gambaran Umum Objek Penelitian Pay-tv atau televisi berbayar adalah jenis televisi yang memberikan saluran penyiaran khusus kepada pemirsa yang bersedia membayar (berlangganan) secara berkala, televisi berbayar biasanya disediakan dengan menggunakan sistem digital ataupun analog (sumber: www.publikasi.bps.go.id, diakses 1 Mei 2015). Sehingga pay-tv berbeda dengan televisi free-to-air dimana penyiarannya dilakukan secara gratis. Televisi berbayar di dunia pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh Zeinth Radio Corporation pada tahun 1949. Layanannya diberi nama Phonevision sebab cara kerjanya adalah memesan tayangan tertentu melalui telepon yang sifatnya tidak free-to-air. (Arga, 2008). Pada tahun 1953 Internasional Telemeter Corporation yang dimiliki oleh Paramount Pictures meluncurkan sebuah kombinasi antara antena dengan kabel yang menghasilkan variasi lainnya dari televisi berbayar. Pelanggan tidak dikenakan biaya untuk menyaksikan program biasa, biaya hanya dikenakan bagi program khusus dengan cara memasukan sejumlah uang logam ke dalam perangkat yang telah ditambahkan pada televisi mereka masing-masing. Kemudian Telemovies diluncurkan di Bartlesvile, Oklahoma pada tahun 1957. Layanan yang diluncurkan oleh Video Independent Theaters ini menawarkan sebuah first-run movie channel, yaitu channel khusus yang menayangkan semua film–film bioskop pertama kali setelah turun dari layar lebar. Telemovie pun merupakan televisi berbayar pertama yang membebankan biaya flat perbulan kepada pelanggannya tanpa melihat seberapa banyak penggunaannya

Geologisch befindet sich das Bacher Gebirge am südwestlichen Rand des steirischen Beckens und nahe einer tektonisch sehr aktiven Zone der Europäischen Alpen: das Periadri- atische Lineament. Etwa 10 km nordwestlich des Bacher Gebirges verlässt die Drau das Miozän-Pliozäne Klagenfurter Becken und verändert ihre Fliessrichtung von Ost nach Süd, der Lavanttal/Labot-Störung folgend. Am Nordwesteck der Antiform des Bacher Gebirges wird die Drau wieder in eine Ost-Richtung abgelenkt, anstatt dem tektonischen und geomorphologischen Lineament der Lavanttal-Störung weiter nach SE zu folgen. Ab diesem Knick fliesst die Drau parallel zur Längsachse durch den Dom nach Osten. Ge- omorphologische und sedimentologische Hinweise zeigen, dass das Flusstales der Drau im zentralen Bereich des Gebirges um 1 km nach Norden an seine heutige Position verlagert worden ist.

  • Koralm Tunnel
    KORALM TUNNEL – DEVELOPMENT OF TUNNEL SYSTEM DESIGN AND SAFETY CONCEPT Christof Neumann, Florian Diernhofer, ILF Consulting Engineers, Austria Gerhard Harer, Josef Koinig, OEBB Infrastruktur Bau AG 1 ABSTRACT The 32.8-km-long Koralm tunnel requires additional measures to guarantee a sufficient safety level. The methodology applied to define safety measures for this very long tunnel is on the one hand based on a set of guidelines and on the other hand based on the specific boundary conditions of this tunnel. These tunnel-specific conditions are considered by establishing customized safety targets. As a result of an investigation into the construction and operating phase, the tunnel system was determined to consist of two single-tube tunnels, an emergency station, no crossover and cross- passages every 500 m. The emergency station in the centre of the tunnel, which incorporates various considerations, was designed to accommodate staggered platforms and a refuge room with a length of 800 m. With a view to the incident management strategy to be adopted, characteristic operating scenarios were analysed to realistically reflect the sequence of events in case of an emergency. 2 THE KORALM TUNNEL PROJECT The Koralm tunnel is one of the key elements of the Koralm high-capacity railway line, which connects the cities of Graz and Klagenfurt in the south of Austria. The Koralm railway line is part of the Baltic-Adriatic Axis, which represents the easternmost crossing of the Alps and links several Eastern European countries Koralm line with Koralm tunnel and Vienna with southern Austria and northern Italy. The Koralm line is a 130- km-long high-capacity railway line engineered for a design speed of 200 km/h.
