The model uses data obtained from a national survey of users and nonusers of CB radio which assessed people's communication needs, perceptions of radio services, radio equipment purchasing behavior, radio use behavior, and lifestyle. The inputs to this model are the public's perception of how well a service can accomodate various communication needs, in comparison with CB radio, and equipment cost. The perception estimates are based on the services projected performance and social characteristics.","PeriodicalId":264799,"journal":{"name":"28th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117339045","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}

Dual-functioning circuitry that performs brushless commutation and polyphase rectification is also contained entirely within the wheel. Thus, with a substantial reduction in both the number of external control system components and mechanical drive-system couplings, this electric motor can power a 4-wheel-drive electric vehicle in normal driving modes and serve as a power-recovery generator during braking. Variable-speed operation of the motor in forward, neutral, and reverse thrust modes, as well as polyphase rectification of the induced voltage during generator operation, is principally directed by a microprogrammed controller. Utilization of state-of-the-art electronic devices in the controller circuitry has contributed to the compactness of the design, ease of fabrication, and reduction in the cost, complexity and number of components associated with motor and generator control system interfaces.","PeriodicalId":264799,"journal":{"name":"28th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130311171","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}

The antenna used with the 800-900 MHz radiois a sleeve dipole, which is approximately the same size as a resonant whip of a 450 MHz portable transmitter. The mechanisms of power deposition in flat slabs of biological tissue at the two different frequencies show some similarity, although there is higher power density deposition (mW/cm3) at 800-900 MHz for equal power flow into the tissue (mW/cm2). The reason for this phenomenon resides in the fact that at the higher frequencies, the E.M. energy tends to be absorbed in the superficial layers of the tissue. The power deposition measurements at 800-900 MHz in a phantom with human features have shown the presence of a slight focusing of RF energy by the shape of the frontal surfaces of the human head. This focusing was not detected at 450 MHz and causes deeper energy deposition in the simulated brain tissue at 800-900 MHz than at 450 MHz.","PeriodicalId":264799,"journal":{"name":"28th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130313496","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}

Many trucks and buses can experience very large changes in load distribution between empty and full load. An adaptive type brake system is required to achieve near peak retarding force at each wheel regardless of load distribution. This requirement was satisfied by the installation of electronic wheel lock control systems on all axles of air-braked vehicles; these systems are also referred to as antiskid systems. They employ a wheel speed sensor on each wheel, an electronic logic module to make the decision that a wheel is tending to lock up, and control valves to regulate the air pressure to the individual axles. It is a well-known fact that lateral vehicle control is difficult to maintain when rear wheels lock up and steering is ineffective when front wheels lock up. The truck and bus industry recognizes the outstanding potential safety benefits associated with wheel lock control; however they have had considerable trouble implementing the system in a reliable manner.","PeriodicalId":264799,"journal":{"name":"28th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123403589","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}

Its goals are threefold: 1. To lessen traffic congestion in the downtown area 2. To provide more efficient bus service to city and suburban neighborhoods 3. To create a new pedestrian environment in the downtown area -- a place for people. The project will transform 16th Street between Broadway and Larimer into a tree-lined pedestrian precinct. Electric battery-powered shuttle vehicles will carry passengers to and from transportation transfer facilities located at each end. Express computer buses will enter the transfer facilities at a below-street concourse where riders will transfer to transitway vehicles waiting at ground level. Shuttles will leave the terminals every 70 seconds stopping at each block along 16th Street. By intercepting express buses at the edges of the retail-office core, there will be fewer buses on downtown streets and therefore substantially less traffic congestion. Also commuter buses will be able to get in and out of downtown much faster, enabling them to make additional productive trips during rush hour. The vehicle system is being designed to meet some unique requirements of the Denver Transitway/Mall. The preliminary vehicle system design consists of performance requirements, an operations profile, fleet sizing, maintenance program, and maintenance facility requirements, in addition to vehicle specifications. Specified features of the battery-powered vehicle include a lateral guidance system, a low floor, wide doors, a large expanse of glass, a capability of operating in tandem, and a rear-mounted dc traction motor.","PeriodicalId":264799,"journal":{"name":"28th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126478282","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}
