What are some of the current efforts of Federal Highway Administration on Real Time Traveler Information? According to FHWA, \"Real time travel information is decision-quality information that travelers can access, understand and act on to choose the most efficient mode and route to their final destination.Timely and detailed information about traffic incidents, the weather, construction activities, transit and special events, all aid in improving travel time predictability, better choices and reduced congestion. Solution Real Time traveler information proigramme was included in section 1201 of the safe, Accountable, flexible , efficient transportation equity act . It is used to monitor in real time traffic and weather conditions and major highways across US First Notice was published in July 19,2011 Federal Register Notice is published in May4 , 2006 From that they had published that in respective 4 yrs They Federal Highway Administration has defined some few areas for attention and its usage along with implementation . These program was implemented for improving safety of the people and to avoid traffic accidents They wanted the travelers to have accurate information on traffic volume in that area , route , temprature , weather etc So they are currently working in implementing an app with updates about these parameters.

Ga discussion, 1. The concept in the study is positioning the nation’s largest auto insurer, State Farm, as the most safety-conscious insurer by providing funds for communities to further research their dangerous intersections and initiate improvement based on the research. The constructs in the study are: · Granting $20,000 to every city with a dangerous intersection on the overall list to defray the cost of a comprehensive traffic engineering study of the intersection. · Granting $100,000 to each city named to the national top 10 dangerous intersection list to defray some of the cost of making improvements. Sabirov states, “… a concept is a complex of views on something phenomena related to each other and forming an interconnected system; it is a certain way of understanding, interpreting any phenomena in some field” (2021, p. 7). 2. A hypothesis that might drive the research of one of the cities on the top 10 dangerous intersection list is the number of fatal incidents that have occurred at the intersection. “The formulation of a hypothesis provides a study with focus. It tells what specific aspects of a research problem to investigate, what data to be collected, and what not are to be collected, thereby providing focus are to be the study. As it provides a focus, the construction of a hypothesis enhances objectivity in a study” (Pawar, 2019, p. 3). 3. State Farm’s research uses a multiple-methodology design. Data is collected from State Farm’s databases and internal incident reports, and information is gathered from the industry market share. Čančer explains that a multi-methodology, “… uses more than one quantitative and/or qualitative method or methodology in tackling some real-world problem” (2017, p. 3). 4. If I were representing State Farm and was given the task of reviewing feedback from the transportation engineers, I would listen to what is being said without any prejudgments. Their concerns would be acknowledged and given a chance to be considered. “… feedback is defined as “perspectives, feelings, and opinions individuals have about their experiences with an organization, product, or service that are used to inform and improve the practice and decision-making of that organization” (Nolan, 2019, p. 2). The first concern of the transportation engineers is the demand for immediate solutions. It would be addressed by stating that the purpose of this study is to improve dangerous intersections. It is a process that cannot be rushed, and an immediate solution would be given when research is finished. The transportation engineers’ second concern of accidents with injuries and deaths to be given more attention is understandable and would be considered for research. “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter” (King James Bible, 2017, Proverbs 25:2). 5. Traffic volume counts would be part of the 2003 study. Some jurisdictions were upset that it wasn’t initially included in the study. An e ...

Minimum 350-500 Words each answer Academic Sources Discussion Question 1: Government economic studies reveal that young adults, not middle-aged or older adults, are having the most difficult time in today’s economy. Although the nation’s labor market shows a decline in the unemployment rate, the percentage of young adults, ages 18 to 24, currently employed (54 percent) is at the lowest level since the government data collection began in 1948. If you were working for a national survey organization doing a general public survey of young adults and older adults, what topics and questions would you design into your survey to elaborate on this finding? Discussion Question 2: One design problem in the development of measurement instruments concerns the sequence of questions. What suggestions would you give to a novice researcher designing his or her first questionnaire? Business Research Methods, 13e/Schindler 1 >cases State Farm, the nation’s largest auto insurer, distributed a list of the 10 most dangerous intersections in the United States based on crashes resulting in claims by its policyholders. What started as a study to reduce risk turned into an ongoing study that directs a major public relations effort: State Farm provides funds for communities to further research their dangerous intersections and initiate improvements based on the research. This case tells you how the State Farm Dangerous Intersections initiative got started and how it is done. www.statefarm.com >Abstract >The Scenario State Farm Insurance has a rich history of proactive safety involvement in auto and appliance design to reduce injury and property loss. In June 2001, State Farm Insurance, Inc., released the second report in its Dangerous Intersection reporting series. State Farm modeled its program after an initiative by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, Canada (ICBC), and the American Automobile Association of Michigan (AAA) to help position the nation’s largest auto insurer as the most safety- conscious insurer. ICBC had patterned its program on an earlier effort in Victoria, Australia. AAA, in turn, benchmarked its program on the ICBC program. AAA invited State Farm to help fund one of its intersection studies. State Farm saw this as an opportunity to expand its effort into a nationwide campaign in 1999. “The 2001 study is part of a larger effort focused on loss prevention and improving the safety of intersections around the U.S.A.,” shared State Farm research engineer John Nepomuceno. State Farm has allocated significant resources as well as funds to the initiative. Since its inception, every city with an intersection on the overall list of dangerous intersections is eligible to apply for a $20,000 grant to defray the cost of a comprehensive traffic engineering study of the intersection. Additionally, each city named to the national top 10 dangerous intersection list is eligible for a grant of $100,000 per intersection to defray s ...

What are the properties of a normal distribution? Why there are an infinite number of normal distributions? Do you want to assume that your sample data represent a population distribution? Solution Properties: Function f(x) is unimodal and symmetric around the point x = µ, which is at the same time the mode, the median and the mean of the distribution.[8] The inflection points of the curve occur one standard deviation away from the mean (i.e., at x = µ - s and x = µ + s).[8] Function f(x) is log-concave.[8] The standard normal density ?(x) is an eigenfunction of the Fourier transform. The function is supersmooth of order 2, implying that it is infinitely differentiable.[9] The first derivative of ?(x) is ?\'(x) = -x·?(x); the second derivative is ?\'\'(x) = (x2 - 1)?(x). More generally, the n-th derivative is given by ?(n)(x) = (-1)nHn(x)?(x), where Hn is the Hermite polynomial of order n.[10] When s2 = 0, the density function doesn\'t exist. However a generalized function that defines a measure on the real line, and it can be used to calculate, for example, expected value is where d(x) is the Dirac delta function which is equal to infinity at x = 0 and is zero elsewhere. The normal distribution is a continuous distribution defined by two parameters, the mean and the variance. since the variance can be any positive value and the mean can be any real value there are infinitely many different values for the mean and for the variance..

What are the revenue classifications of the U.S. based for-hire air carriers? Define and describe at least two of these classifications with examples. Solution of Airline Certification U.S. scheduled airlines are classified by the government on the basis of the amount of revenue generated from operations. These classifications are major, national and regional. All airlines hold two certificates from the federal government: a fitness certificate and an operating certificate. The Department of Transportation (DOT) issues fitness certificates - called certificates of public convenience and necessity - under it\'s statutory authority. Basically, the certificate establishes that the carrier has the financing and the management in place to provide scheduled service. The certificate typically authorizes both passenger and cargo service. Some airlines, however, obtain only cargo-service authority. Commuter airlines that use aircraft with a seating capacity of 60 or fewer seats or a maximum payload capacity of no more than 18,000 pounds can operate under the alternative authority of Part 298 of DOT\'s economic regulations. Operating certificates, on the other hand, are issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under Part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), which spell out numerous requirements for operating aircraft with 10 or more seats. The requirements cover such things as the training of flight crews and aircraft maintenance programs. All majors, nationals and regional\'s operate with a Part 121 certificate. Majors Major airlines generate operating revenues of more than $1 billion annually. Previously called trunk carriers, they generally provide nationwide, and in some cases, worldwide service. There are many major U.S. passenger airlines such as: Alaska, American, American Eagle, Continental, Delta, Northwest, Southwest, United and US Airways. In addition, some cargo airlines are classified as majors like: FedEx and United Parcel Service. Nationals National carriers are scheduled airlines with annual operating revenues between $100 million and $1 billion. Many of the airlines in this category serve particular regions of the country, although some provide long-haul and even international service. Among the nationals are some of the former local service lines that, prior to deregulation, were licensed by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) to operate between major cities and smaller communities surrounding them. Also in this category are some of the former supplemental carriers, previously licensed by the CAB to operate unscheduled charter service, which supplemented the capacity of the trunk carriers. Like the majors, nationals operate mostly medium- and large-sized jets. They are subject to DOT fitness requirements, as well as the FAA Part 121 operating requirements. Some of the nationals you may have heard of in the past include companies like Aloha, Atlas Air, Emery Worldwide, Evergreen, Hawaiian, Midwest Express and Polar .

What are the requirements that must be met before the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance by ranks test can be applied? Solution there are foolwing limitations and assumptions for this method Limitations: Only oneindependent variable Assumptions: Samples are randomly selected. Samples are representative of the populations. Samples are independent of one another. The original variable that was measured was a continuousrandom variable (this assumption is often violated – no idea if that’s OK or not, but Sheskin does not seem to think it is a big deal). The distributions of the populations are identical in shape. i hope it would help you.

What are the psychometric properties of The MBTI for bulimia and /or eating disorders? Solution The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument is a questionnaire designed to make Jung’s ideas about psychological type useful in everyday life. It identifies a person’s four basic type preferences that combine into one of 16 different personality types. These results help you understand normal differences in the way people think, communicate, and interact—differences that can be the source of much misunderstanding. The MBTI instrument has been used for more than 50 years to establish greater understanding between individuals, and has been translated into more than 15 different languages for use around the world. Research conducted on the MBTI tool has shown that the results it provides are reliable and valid. The MBTI tool’s reliability statistics are excellent, and its validity has been firmly established in hundreds of separate studies. Reliability refers to whether the results are consistent: Do people tend to reply to the items in the same way when they take the test later, and do they tend to get the same type? Can you count on the results? Validity refers to the instrument’s ability to measure psychological type and apply Jung’s theory. Technical information on the research and psychometric properties underlying the instrument are published in the MBTI® Manual and in other scientific publications..

Solution Keynesian believes that consumers and their demand for goods and services are key economic drivers, while a supply-sider believes that producers and their willingness to create goods and services set the pace of economic growth. Supply-side claims that demand is largely irrelevant. It says that over-production and under- production are not sustainable phenomena. Supply-siders argue that when companies temporarily \"over-produce,\" excess inventory will be created, prices will subsequently fall and consumers will increase their purchases to offset the excess supply..

what are the disadvantages of joint ventures what are the disadvantages of joint ventures what are the disadvantages of joint ventures Solution A joint venture (JV) is a business arrangement by which, two or more entities make an arrangement by which they share assets, expertise & technology to execute a particular business venture. The parties to a JV share the liabilities and profits together. A JV can be a short-term arrangement, made to cater to a specific project only. However, there may be some disadvantages to a JV, as follows. 1) A cross-country JV has the main issue of cultural difference. It is often difficult for partner entities from different countries with different cultures, to operate efficiently enough as to create positive synergy. 2) The goals and objectives of the JV partners may not agree, which may create a friction & conflict of interest going ahead. 3) Efficient sharing of responsibilities is a pivotal aspect in a JV, in absence of which, the arrangement may collapse. 4) A JV works best in presence of perfect communication flow with no barriers, which is rarely achieved in real life. 5) Sharing of resource may be uneven, or perceived to be sub-optimal, by one or more of the partners. 6) A final disadvantage of a JV is the dispute resolution process. Due to shared responsibilities, authorities and functioning, a conflict is more difficult to get resolved, since its resolution depends on multiple levels and locations of the JV organization hierarchy..

What are the methods of conducting trade ? Solution A business may conduct international trade using following channels and methods: (1) Direct Trade The company directly exposts its goods and services to other countries, and imports products & services from other countries. (2) Licensing. A company (X) grants another company (Y) in another country, to produce and sell X\'s products, a license to Y against a fee/royalty that Y should pay to X. Such licensing agreement may cover not only goods and services, but other intangibles like technology, copyright or patents. (3) Management Contracts These are contracts between two companies in different countries through which one company provides technical expertise or management expertise to another company. (4) Turnkey Projects One company (X) lends its resources and expertise to another company from other country (Y), in helping Y start and build new projects, from the basic planning & design stage, to the final execution stage. In exchange for this, Y pays a fee to X. (5) Joint Ventures (JV) This involves joint collaboration between 2 companies in different countries. It includes mutual sharing of all resources, including technical, financial and managerial expertise sharing. This form of trade includes sharing of both risks and rewards. (6) Wholly Owned Subsidiary This is the final form of trade where, a company sets up a fully-owned unit in another country. The parent company owns the subsidiary and controls it. This ensures maximum profit to the parent company, however, country-specific laws and political scenarios pose certain risks in such multy-country operations..

What are the main changes in this current global market? How do you define a global manager? What are the main responsibilities of a global manager? Solution Answer1 Economics differentiates four major market structures: perfect competition, monopoly,oligopoly and monopolistic competition. If we evaluate the changeswhich occurred in the last part of the twentieth century, we can clearly see a drasticmetamorphosis in the globalised markets: two of the above mentioned market structuresare losing ground while one of them is definitely coming into the forefront. First let ushave a look at the losers! - Perfect competition is in the process of fading out. The decrease of its importance can be traced back to two reasons: firstly sectors traditionally characterized by perfectcompetition are losing their share in the economy; secondly companies operating inthese industries to gain competitive advantage are trying to differentiate their offerings,even if they seemed to be rather homogenous in the past, from those of their competitors. If the majority of them succeed the competition is gradually transforminginto a form of imperfect competition. It is worthwhile to mention that it was Levitt whofirst drew attention to the importance of differentiation. - The share and importance of monopolies is also decreasing. In democratic societiesthere is a great pressure on government regulation to abolish monopolies, to deregulate,and liberalise these industries. The banking system, most of the mass transportation, and basic utilities have already been deregulated, and monopolies still functioning are setunder strong societal control Parallel with the decreasing importance of perfect competition and monopolies, the twoother forms of market structures are gaining ground, especially and most importantly:oligopoly. The study would like to prove that the world is moving towards the dominance of a market structure which could be called.

What are the main causes of and contributing factors to international financial crises? How can they be resolved? How can they be prevented? Answer this question in the context of the Asian Crisis of 1997. Solution Causes of Asian financial crisis-. Firstly, huge amounts of foreign capital became readily available at relatively low interest rates, as investors in search of fresh opportunities shifted huge amounts of capital into Asia. As under all boom cycles, stock and real estate prices in Asia increased initially, thus attracting further funds. But, domestic allocation of borrowed foreign capital was inefficient due to weak banking systems, inefficient corporate governance, and inadequate transparency of financial sector. Insufficient absorptive capacity also added to the inefficient allocation of foreign capital. Secondly, the economies\' exchange rate regime was fixed hence giving borrowers an illusionary sense of security, encouraging them to go for dollar- denominated borrowings. The huge capital inflows plus weakening exports were reflected in increasing current account deficits. Also, a substantial part of the capital inflows was in the form of short-term borrowing, making these economies prey to external shocks. Once the trigger started in Thailand , other markets overreacted and the crisis spread. Remedies.
