    Intelligent Transportation in Acadia National Park

    INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION IN ACADIA NATIONAL PARK Determining the feasibility of smart systems to reduce traffic congestion An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Angela Calvi Colin Maki Mingqi Shuai Jackson Peters Daniel Wivagg Date: July 28, 2017 Approved: ______________________________________ Professor Frederick Bianchi, Advisor This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students. Submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. i Abstract The goal of this project was to assess the feasibility of implementing an intelligent transportation system (ITS) in Acadia National Park. To this end, the features of an ITS were researched and discussed. The components of Acadia’s previous ITS were recorded and their effects evaluated. New technologies to implement, replace, or upgrade the existing ITS were researched and the companies providing these technologies were contacted and questioned for specifications regarding their devices. From this research, three sensor systems were identified as possibilities. These sensors were magnetometers, induction loops, and cameras. Furthermore, three methods of information dissemination were identified as useful to travelers. Those methods were dynamic message signs, websites, and mobile applications. The logistics of implementing these systems were researched and documented. A cost analysis was created for each system. The TELOS model of feasibility was then used to compare the strengths of each sensor in five categories: Technical, Economic, Legal, Operational and Schedule. Based on the results of the TELOS and cost analyses, the sensors were ranked in terms of feasibility; magnetometers were found to be the most feasible, followed by induction loop sensors and then camera-based systems.

    Sculpture Symposium SESSION I Message from the Maine Arts Commission

    Sculpture Symposium SESSION I Message from the Maine Arts Commission Dear Friends, As we approach the second round of the Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium, I am struck by the wondrous manifestation of a seedling idea—how the expertise and enthusiasm of a few can energize a community beyond anything in recent memory. This project represents the fruits of the creative economy initiative in the most positive and startling way. Schoodic Peninsula, Maine Discussions for the Symposium began in 2005 around a table at the Schoodic section of Acadia National Contents Park. All the right aspects were aligned and the project was grass roots and supported by local residents. It Sculptors used indigenous granite; insisted on artistic excellence; and broadened the intelligence and significance of the project through international inclusion. The project included a core educational component and welcomed Dominika Griesgraber, Poland 4 tourism through on-site visits to view the artists at work. It placed the work permanently in surrounding communities as a marker of local support and appreciation for monumental public art. You will find no war Jo Kley, Germany 6 memorials among the group, no men on horseback. The acceptance by the participating communities of less literal and adventurous works of art is a tribute to the early and continual inclusion of resident involvement. Don Justin Meserve, Maine 8 It also emphasizes that this project is about beauty, not reverie for the past but a beacon toward a rejuvenated future. Ian Newbery, Sweden 10 The Symposium is a tour de force, an unparalleled success, and I congratulate the core group and all the Roy Patterson, Maine 12 surrounding communities for embracing the concept of public art.

  • American Aquafarms Is Proposing One of the World's Largest Industrial

    American Aquafarms Is Proposing One of the World's Largest Industrial

    Frenchman Bay United Friends of Frenchman Bay (friendsoffrenchmanbay.org) Friends of Schoodic Peninsula (facebook.com/salmonproposal) Friends of Eastern Bay (friendsofeasternbay.org) Protect Maine’s Fishing Heritage Foundation (protectmaine.com) American Aquafarms is proposing one of the world’s largest industrial salmon farming operations in Frenchman Bay. This massive project is a grave threat to area jobs, the environment and our quality of life. The company, backed by foreign money and led by a man convicted of defrauding investors in his home country of Norway, plans to raise 66 million pounds of salmon annually at two 60-acre lease sites in the bay (one off Bald Rock and the other off Long Porcupine Island) and a third land-based hatchery and processing facility in Prospect Harbor. Each site will have fifteen 150’ diameter pens using experimental technology that has never been used on this scale and will be supported by up to three large ships and many smaller boats making daily trips between Prospect Harbor and the pens. Here is why you should be concerned: 1. It will hurt the lobster fishery. The dozens of men and women who fish the bay and contribute to Hancock County’s $128M lobster catch are deeply concerned about the loss of more than 120 acres of prime fishing ground and the water pollution and disease that will harm lobsters and other species and seriously impact their livelihoods. In addition, ship traffic will destroy gear or further reduce fishing ground. 2. Industrial development has no place next to Acadia National Park. Millions of people from all around the world visit Acadia National Park and Downeast Maine each year.
