{"title":"An Introduction to Smart Hydrones (Platforms): Design, Performance, and Applications","authors":"Mario Arturo Ruiz Estrada","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3502745","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3502745","url":null,"abstract":"This electric monograph is divided into five chapters: The first presents a general description of each chapter in detail. The second chapter evaluates the crucial role of unmanned aerial vehicles –UAV’s- (or Drone) in the case of natural disasters response and relief humanitarian aid. The main objective of this chapter is to evaluate how unmanned aerial vehicles –UAV’s- (or Drone) in the present and near future can play a crucial role to help survivors in the case of a tsunami, earthquake, flooding, and any natural disaster. Basically, we need to assume that in any natural disaster always exist the high possibility of damage in the infrastructure, transportation systems, telecommunications systems access, and basic services immediately. We propose in three areas the uses of unmanned aerial vehicles –UAV’s- (or Drone) in the case of natural disasters response and relief humanitarian aid: (i) the aerial monitoring post-natural disaster damage evaluation; (ii) the natural disaster logistic and cargo delivery; (iii) the post-natural disaster aerial evaluation. The third chapter presents three new smart hydrones for surveillance, rescue, security, cleaning, searching, and logistic operations anywhere and any time. We have three new models of smart hydrones such as the MAR21 smart hydrone, MAR25 smart hydrone, and MAR27 smart hydrone. Initially, the MAR21 smart hydrone has a large structure to facilitate surveillance, rescue, security, cleaning, and logistic operations anywhere and anytime. At the same time, the MAR21 smart hydrone can handle also to do it a deep cleaning service of any area was affected by pollution or natural disasters damages subsequently. Additionally, the MAR21 smart hydrone, MAR25 smart hydrone, and MAR27 smart hydrone offers to private sector, government, and humanitarian agencies an alternative maritime transportation system. The MAR21 smart hydrone, MAR25 smart hydrone, and MAR27 smart hydrone construction is based on basic materials such as PVC pipes with PVC glue, high reception radio control systems, a modern GPS system, high reception antenna and radar systems, HD cameras (live), powerful lipo batteries, high resistance ESC systems, and powerful electric motors to support large operations in case of surveillance, rescue, security, cleaning, searching, and logistic operations. The design of the structure of the MAR21 smart hydrone, MAR25 smart hydrone, and MAR27 smart hydrone have different and special characteristics that can be adapted to any weather condition, temperature levels, and levels of wa-ter respectively. In fact, the cost of production of MAR21 smart platform, MAR25 smart hydrone, and MAR27 smart hydrone is relatively cheap and easy to be produced in developing countries and least developed countries according to this research. Subsequently, the chapter fourth introduces a new concept of unmanned aerial vehicles –UAV’s- are called Smart Flying Platforms (SFP). The main objective of this chapter is to evaluate ","PeriodicalId":259714,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Educator: Courses","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131514967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being a full-fledged airline, it has very high operational costs in comparison to many other airlines operating in India. Apart from this, at present there are no pilots or any crew members who could help to fly its planes back in the air because the firm has failed even to pay the salaries to its staff for long. On the other hand, the lenders have already declined to provide any relief by lending with the emergency fund of Rs 1,200 crores even after giving assurance for the same. Also there are thick rumours in the air that employees are planning to go to the court to recover their dues. These circumstances altogether make it even more difficult for Jet Airways to hit back in the air.","PeriodicalId":259714,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Educator: Courses","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127929056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He also has to consider the various dangers and complexities inherent in making a show like this, and what responsibility he has to his employees and other stakeholders. In thinking through the decisions in the case, students will have to wrestle with how values shape their quantitative analysis and views of their moral responsibilities to employees, and how their own experiences and biases shape how they view moral issues. \u0000Excerpt \u0000UVA-E-0419 \u0000Rev. Sept. 1, 2020 \u0000Which Kaptein to Choose? The HavOysund Fleet Question \u0000The way you continue to be a successful business is you don't wait for the car to go off the cliff. You have to manage yourself. And make sure you do it in the right way so you are not making decisions in crisis. \u0000Olaf Tryggvason looked at the quotation, his own, that sat on his desk. It was, for him, more than a passing inspirational comment. Tryggvason sat in his office in HavOysund, a small fishing village of just 1,000 inhabitants on the northern Norwegian island of HavOya. From his window, he could see tourists disembarking from a cruise ship, and he knew very soon they would make their way through his hometown, swelling the streets and clogging the stores. If you were able to share some aquavit with him, Tryggvason would confess that he found the tourists an irritating yet necessary evil. Tourism and entertainment had become critical to the economies of a number of port towns in Norway. Historically, HavOysund had been an important fishing village at least since the late Middle Ages, and there was even evidence of early fishing settlements dating back to the Neolithic era. Years ago, the city had leveraged this heritage into a revenue-generating asset. The citizens had converted an old religious rectory into the MasOy Museum. The museum featured a collection of historic fishing and whaling equipment. Tryggvason begrudgingly acknowledged that for some in the village, becoming an entertainment hub had “cheapened” their culture. He looked at the quote again. It gave him resolve for the decisions ahead. \u0000Specifically, Tryggvason, who operated a fleet of fishing vessels, had accepted a reality television deal that he'd been offered by a producer from Oslo, Arvid StrOmstad. He needed to make recommendations about which ships and their skippers, or kapteiner, should have a shot at becoming the “stars” of the show; however, this responsibility would come with increased risks and rewards. As he diversified his lines of business, Tryggvason wondered how his quote should shape his obligations to his employees. \u0000. . .","PeriodicalId":259714,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Educator: Courses","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125460941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
