Bertini Krista Nordback Portland State University 2014 ABSTRACT Bicycle use is increasing in many parts of the U.S. Local and regional governments have set ambitious bicycle mode share goals as part of their strategy to curb greenhouse gas emissions and relieve traffic congestion. In particular, Portland, Oregon has set a 25% mode share goal for 2030 (PBOT 2010). Currently bicycle mode share in Portland is 6.1% of all trips. Other cities and regional planning organizations are also setting ambitious bicycle mode share goals and increasing bicycle facilities and programs to encourage bicycling. -

Section 9 Summary of Results 9.1 Introduction 9.2
SECTION 9 SUMMARY OF RESULTS 9.1 INTRODUCTION Section 9.2 summarizes the results of NTIA’s preliminary investigations (Sections 2 – 5). These investigations helped refine the scope and approach of NTIA’s analyses and established certain technical assumptions. Section 9.3 summarizes the results of NTIA’s Phase 1 analyses of interference risks (Section 6), measurement procedures (Section 7) and techniques for prevention and mitigation of interference (Section 8). Section 9.4 summarizes matters requiring further study. 9.2 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS 9.2.1 Descriptions of BPL Systems NTIA identified three architectures for access BPL networks (Section 2): (1) BPL systems using different frequencies on medium- and low-voltage power lines for networking within a neighborhood and extensions to users’ premises, respectively; (2) BPL use of only medium voltage lines for networking within a neighborhood, with other technologies being used for network extensions to users’ premises; and (3) BPL use of the same frequencies on medium- and low-voltage power lines for networking in a neighborhood and extensions to users’ premises. Responses of BPL manufacturers and operators to the FCC’s BPL NOI generally indicate that BPL systems will operate at or near the Part 15 field strength limits in order to achieve maximum throughput and distance separation between BPL devices. NTIA addressed simple BPL deployment models in the Phase 1 interference risk analyses (Section 6). Specifically, a single BPL device and associated power lines were considered for cases of potential interference to ground-based radio receivers and several co-frequency BPL devices were assumed to be deployed throughout the area covered by an aircraft receiver antenna. -

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM (NASA) 91 A MICRO-COMPUTER BASED SYSTEM TO COMPUTE MAGNETIC VARIATION A microcomputer-based implementation of a magnetic variation model for the continental United States is presented. The implementation computes magnetic variation as a function of latitude and longitude for general aviation receivers such as Loran-C. by Rajan Kaul Avionics Engineering Center Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Ohio University Athens, Ohio 45701 March 1984 Prepared for National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia 23665 Grant No. NOR 36-009-017 (NASA-CR-1713376) A MICRO-COMPUTER BASED B84-20506 SYSTEM TO COMPUTE MAGNETIC VARIATION (Ohio Univ,) 26 p HC A03/IF A01 CSCL 17G Unclas G3/0'4 18909 I. INTRODUCTION A Mathematical model of magnetic variation in the continental United States (COT48) has been implemented in the Ohio University Loran-C receiv er. The model is based on a least squares fit of a polynomial function. The implementation on the micro-processor based Loran-C receiver is pos sible with the help of a math chip, Am9511 manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices, which performs 32 bit floating point mathematical operations. A Peripheral Interface Adapter (M6520) is used to communicate between the 6502 based micro-computer and the 9511 math chip. The implementation pro vides magnetic variation data to the pilot as a function of latitude and longitude. This report briefly describes the model and the real time implementation in the receiver. II. THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL The model was developed at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) by Fabiano et al. [11, by performing least squares analysis on more than 34,000 data measurements taken between 1900 and 1974. -

Broadband Over Power Lines a Foundation for the Utility of the Future
Broadband over Power Lines a Foundation for the Utility of the Future Jay M. Bradbury Duke Energy Regulatory Manager – Powerline Communications October 26, 2006 LSU Center for Energy Studies – Energy Summit 2006 Topics • BPL Explored a Primer • The Duke Experience • BPL as an Enabler of the Utility of the Future 1 BPL Explored A Primer 2 BPL Defined • Access Broadband Over Power Line (Access BPL). A carrier current system installed and operated on an electric utility service as an unintentional radiator that sends radio frequency energy on frequencies between 1.705 MHz and 80 MHz over medium voltage lines or low voltage lines to provide broadband communications and is located on the supply side of the utility service’s points of interconnection with customer premises. Access BPL does not include power line carrier systems as defined in Section 15.3(t) of this part or In-House BPL systems as defined in Section 15.3(gg) of this part. (FCC) – Electric utility companies can use Access BPL systems to monitor, and thereby more effectively manage, their electric power distribution operations. – Access BPL systems can also deliver high speed Internet and other broadband services to homes and businesses. • In-House Broadband Over Power line (In-House BPL). A carrier current system, operating as an unintentional radiator, that sends radio frequency energy to provide broadband communications on frequencies between 1.705 MHz and 80 MHz over low- voltage electric power lines that are not owned, operated or controlled by an electric service provider. The electric power lines may be aerial (overhead), underground, or inside walls, floors or ceilings of user premises. -

Project Title: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Counts and Demand Estimation Study URL: http://tti.tamu.edu/documents/TTI-2013-3.pdf Abstract This report contains six chapters that document the activities related to counting bicycles and pedestrians, modeling techniques for non-motorized demand, and developing a non-motorized counting plan for the HGAC region. The chapter titles and brief summary include: 1. PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLIST MONITORING -- EQUIPMENT AND METHODS – A literature review of the state of the art and state of the practice on counting technologies, describing the strengths weaknesses and challenges of counting bicycles and pedestrians. 2. COUNTING EQUIPMENT – GUIDANCE AND INSTALLATION – Two permanent counting stations were installed and guidance on placement, settings and best practices for portable pedestrian and bicycle (non-motorized) counters were provided. A bike classification scheme was developed to more accurately count bikes using pneumatic tube counters. Draft interlocal agreements were developed addressing deployment, operation, and maintenance responsibilities for both the permanent and short term use devices and may be used for interagency loan and use of the temporary count equipment. -
