Highway Crash Cushions are used as a buffer on turns or curves to minimize the damage of the colliding/out-of-control vehicles

Image
  Highway crash cushions can be used for all types of crashes, from minor fender benders to multi-car collisions and pileups. They can be found in a variety of materials, from synthetic leather to specially made polyurethane foam cushions. One of the most popular highway crash cushions on the market today is the roll cage brace. Highway crash cushions are usually the secondary objects placed on highways to minimize the damage caused by a vehicle or other vehicle component causing an accident. In the past, highway crash cushions were made using steel bars that were placed along the highway to protect people and drivers from head-on impact. Many states used guardrails with the same purpose in mind. In addition to the steel bars, many states used concrete intentions that extended across the width of the guardrail to protect people from absorbing impact and pinching the inside of the guardrail. Both of these kinds of barriers were effective, but they had some obvious limitations. ...

Micro-mobility Charging Infrastructure; a Source of Electricity Used to Charge Micro-Mobility Vehicles

Image
  The micro-mobility charging infrastructure refers to a charging station used to charge micro-mobiles, such as e-bikes, electric skateboards, electric scooters, and bicycles (shared, electric, pedal-assisted, etc.). These charging stations can be deployed in commercial sites or residential sites. Several micro-mobility vehicles (depending on the model) can be charged at the same time at the micro-mobility charging station. Therefore, with the increasing number of micro-mobility vehicles, the demand for micro-mobility charging infrastructure is also increasing. Asia Pacific (APAC) is one of the leading pioneer in the micromobility, with China being the first country to implement a dock-less bike-sharing platform in 2015. China, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Kunming, Wenzhou, and Shanghai, also set up public bike-sharing programs after the Hangzhou debut. In addition, there has been an increase in the number of micro-mobiles in APAC, as the region is home to some of the most urban...

An Automotive Snow Chain is used to prevent vehicle sliding by providing better grip on the surfaces with snow-formation during extreme weather conditions

Image
  Automotive snow chains are the components that complement the suspension system of an automobile to facilitate better traction in the snow. There are two types of chains - the hydraulic types and the electric-powered. Hydraulic types of chains are usually the most common and are attached to the wheels of automobiles by means of a series of hoses that run from the engine to the wheels. Electric-powered chains are attached to the wheels by means of a cable and are usually used on bikes and motorcycles. Automotive snow chains improve the tire's traction since they increase the clearance of the tires. The increase in clearance improves the stability of the vehicle as it absorbs more energy when traction is being controlled. These come in various materials like rubber, polyurethane and steel, each providing specific characteristics including high cost, driving ease, lubricity and durability. Rubber and polyurethane are the most commonly used, although steel treads can also be used ...

Automotive Mudguards are one of the most popular components mounted on a vehicle to prevent the passenger and tires from flying mud, dirt during rainy weather conditions

Image
  Automotive mudguards come in two forms namely the Ready-to-Fly and the Ready-to-Use. The Ready-to-Fly ones are the ones which are ready to install without the need of any special tools. Ready-to-Use are the ones which need to be fitted after re-installation. These are made of three-layer fiberglass containing polyurethane, rubber, or thermoplastic. Polyurethane is used as a lubricant between the fibers and thermoplastic is used as a binder in order to retain the original shape and size of the vehicle's tires. Most of the vehicles in the business are designed with mudguards. The vehicles run on streets which are wet and the mud and gravel present on them can cause severe damage to the vehicle.

Cable Cars & Ropeways; Safe, Secure, Comfortable, and Efficient Means of Transport

Image
  Cable cars & ropeways, also known as aerial tramway, cable car, sky tram, ropeway, or aerial tram, are used as a transport system for mass transit in which they are hauled by a continuously moving cable running at a constant speed. Cable cars & ropeways use one or two stationary ropes for support, while a third moving rope provides propulsion. This type of transport system can also help close gaps in the public transport network and connect peripheral communities to city centers. This technology uses electrically-propelled cables to move suspended cars (or cabins) between terminals at different elevation points. Cable cars & ropeways offer commuters a ‘ride with a view,’ but they also need high standards of safety, comfort, and security to remain popular over time. Once regarded as little more than a tourist attraction, cable cars & ropeways are now proving to be an environmentally friendly method of commuting. A ropeway is a form of naval lifting device used t...

A Boat Steering System consists of a gear, a carrier for a rudder, a hydraulic motor, etc. and operates on a servomechanism

Image
  There are several different types of boat steering systems available on the market today. A hydraulic system essentially works by using a hydraulic motor to propel the boat through the water. In most cases this is done with the use of a chain and pulley system. This type of system can be expensive due to the materials that are necessary to construct it. There are also four main categories of hydraulic steering systems used in boats. A mechanical system utilizes a straight chain driven by a pinion or rack. A hydraulic rack and pinion system utilizes a geared gear to drive the chain, and lastly, there is a rotary gear system that has a large cable guiding the chain. These types of boat steering systems generally do not require the use of oars, so they do not have to be anchored to the boat itself. A hydraulic boat steering system is commonly used on float planes, but is also commonly used on powerboats and cruise ships. The reason why a hydraulic steering system is the common ...
