The way ahead for London’s bus priority at traffic signals
No full textLondon has a long history of successful schemes for bus priority at traffic signals. Recently, Transport for London (TfL) has procured a modern automatic vehicle location (AVL) system for bus fleet management, passenger information and bus priority. The new system is known as iBUS and is based on global positioning system (GPS) and supporting technologies for bus location. The system eliminates the need for on-street hardware for detecting buses and provides more flexibility and opportunity for using bus detectors. However, bus location based on this system is less accurate than location based on fixed infrastructure (e.g. beacons) and could result in reduced benefits from bus priority. This paper first summarises how bus priority at traffic signals works within iBUS, and then explores the effects of GPS locational errors on bus priority benefits. This is followed by a discussion of opportunities available in the context of iBUS to build an even more efficient and beneficial bus priority system by taking advantage of its cost-effective multiple detection capabilities. The paper is based on various studies carried out by the Transportation Research Group (TRG) at the University of Southampton for TfL
Letter from B.P. Bolton to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from B.P. Bolton, Harcourt Street, New Farm, Brisbane (Australia), to Hagan, following on his father's letter. Stating his regret that Hagan should have ill feelings about him: detailing the circumstances surrounding each instance. In the case of four students dodging classes and frequenting a trattoria he followed the hint of a priest; asking him to have the matter confirmed by the prefect. In the case of the 'Blue Sisters', explaining he had asked them merely 'to leave the college alone' after they attacked the college. Then adding brief news about colleagues and former Romans in Australia. Some impressions from the journey via Cologne and Ireland. The 51 Irish girls arrived in Brisbane safely; however, recounting regrettable encounters with a group of musical actors on board ship: 'drunkenness was the order of the day', and once they entered the cabin of one of the postulants

Using global positioning system for bus priority in London: traffic signals close to bus stops
No full textLondon's bus network is one of the largest and most comprehensive urban transport systems in the world. The contribution of buses is recognised by implementing a series of initiatives including bus priority at traffic signals. London has a long history of the implementation of bus priority at traffic signals. It has kept pace with the development of new technologies by updating its bus priority system. Now, London is moving towards a bus management system based on global positioning system (GPS), which will also be used to provide bus priority at traffic signals. The authors describe theoretical work carried out by TRG on behalf of Transport for London Bus Priority Team to tackle the challenge posed by locational error associated with GPS where a traffic signal is close to a bus stop

The Archaeology Of Gua Tupak From 1,190 B.P. To 170 B.P. In Bau, Sarawak
No full textIn November and December 2007, an archaeological survey was conducted
by the author and a research team from the Centre for Global Archaeological
Research, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang with the cooperation of the Sarawak
Museum Department, Kuching in the limestone caves of the Bau area, southwest
Sarawak in order to search for a site for the author’s Master of Arts (MA) study. The
result of the survey determined Gua Tupak to be a highly potential site and
consequently, excavations were carried out at the site in February and March 2008.
The excavations at Gua Tupak yielded valuable archaeological data that could aid in
providing information on the prehistory of the site and the Bau area. The
archaeological data include various types of artefacts such as shell remains, animal
bones, ceramic sherds and stone artefacts. In addition, charcoal and shell samples
were collected for radiocarbon dating, soil samples were collected for palynological
analysis and soil profiles of the excavated trenches were recorded. Results of the
analyses of artefacts and interpretations of the archaeological data recovered from
Gua Tupak suggest that the site was used as a temporary habitation site or shelter
with two main phases of occupation; the Early Phase with a radiocarbon date of
around 1,190 ± 40 B.P., and the Late Phase with radiocarbon dates ranging from 270
± 50 B.P. to 170 ± 40 B.P
