I myself have been busy with reflective pavements for more than twelve years, and I was a member of the working group that developed the Knowledge Module. I do not like baked air at all, so I worked with colleagues, suppliers and various clients of municipalities and provinces to investigate the possibilities of reflective pavements in public space. Because it is being used more and more by clients in innovation, I also see that the clock is heard, but it is often not known where the valve is hanging. The disadvantage of a knowledge module is that some people suddenly think they have enough knowledge. That is not true of course. What we have been working for years and researching, you do not even get in a digital publication. This is intended to give handlers to contractors and contractors and suppliers, but the correct application and good effects come from advice. No situation is the same. For advice, we are always available as members of the CROW working group.

Executive summary
This proposal plans to light up dark areas in the Northern Territory, by introducing advanced road lamp technology to rural and poorly lit roads in the Territory. The main purpose of the project is to decrease number of road accidents in the Territory and avoid potential hazards caused by poorly lit roads. The new road lamp will be fitted with modern day technology which will allow it to use clean energy and save power. This implementation will benefit the lives of residents in the Territory and the environment in the long run. Overview
Purpose & Objectives
As mentioned in the Executive Summary, the main purpose or objective of this project is to decrease the number of road accidents on Territory roads and avoid potential hazards caused by poorly lit roads. But before starting up the project, there is a problem that need to be resolved.
Problem – Approval from the Territory Government Department of Transport
To implement the project, approval or a Development Permit from the Department of Transport is required, as the project will conduct work on Territory roads. The Department assesses land development applications and is responsible for Road Agency Approvals for all developments impacting Territory road networks (Transport, 2019).
Scope
There are two main things to include in the scope, clean energy and power efficiency. As the product also aims to be environmentally friendly. In the Territory, all street lights are connected to power plants for their power and use light detectors for automatic activation. We plan on using individual street lights which use solar panels to provide and store electricity. Additionally, a motion detector will be added with the solar panels to ensure energy efficiency. Normal halogen lights will also be replaced by LED lights.
This would benefit in:
-Clean energy
-Energy efficiency
-Street light independency
-More visibility
What is expected of this project implementation?
The expected outcome would include:
-Less road accidents involving drivers and pedestrians in the Territory
-Less power consumption hence less pollution in the long run
-Higher level of security with better illumination
Further development:
-Gather information for other places the new road lamp can be implemented. Places such as small neighborhoods or other rural areas.
Observation timeframe:
-Observe number of road accidents as a decrease is expected
Measuring success

Modern LED Street Lighting System with Intensity Control Based on Vehicle Mov...AM Publications
Street lighting accounts for 53% of outdoor lighting use, and the market is continuously increasing. In the context of rising energy prices and growing environmental awareness, energy efficiency is becoming one of the most important criteria for street lighting systems design. Monitoring of street lights and controlling is of utmost importance in developing country like India to reduce the power consumption. The world is converging towards wireless as a communication channel and at the same time facing energy and environmental problems .The paper presents a remote streetlight monitoring and controlling system based on LED and wireless sensor network. The system can be set to run in automatic mode, which control streetlight. This control can make a reasonable adjustment according to the seasonal variation. Also this system can run in controlled mode. In this mode, we can take the initiative to control streetlights through PC monitor terminal. This street light system also includes a time cut-out function, and an automatic control pattern for even more electricity conserving, namely when vehicles pass by, the light will turn on automatically, later turn off. This design can save a great amount of electricity compared to streetlamps that keep a light during nights. The design implements traffic flow magnitude statistics without adding any hardware, facilitating transportation condition information collecting. Furthermore, this system has auto-alarm function which will set off if any light is damaged and will show the serial number of the damaged light, thus it is easy to be found and repaired the damaged light. The system can be widely applied in all places which need timely control such as streets, stations, mining, schools, and electricity sectors and so on. In addition, the system integrates a digital temperature and humidity sensor, not only monitoring the streetlight but also temperature and humidity

Building smart green mobility in South Tyrol through an open data hubSpeck&Tech
ABSTRACT: For decades the traditional approach for solving mobility and transportation challenges has been based on the idea of creating new road or rail infrastructures. Thanks to the impressive enhancement of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, in the last years this approach is going into the direction of rather improving the efficiency of how available transportation infrastructure is used. New digital infrastructures allow all mobility actors (vehicles, pedestrians, sensors, traffic management centers) to cooperate together to achieve the ambitious goal of improving mobility, enhancing safety, reducing congestion and environmental impacts. But how can we achieve this and ensure that public and private actors efficiently work together? In South Tyrol we have tried to give an answer to these challenges through the implementation of an open data hub, which enables the real-time data / information exchange among all interested parties and fosters the multiplication of development of research & innovation projects between local companies, research centers and public organizations. After years of implementation, the Open Data Hub South Tyrol is now creating the premises for a new historical phase for mobility in the region, with concepts like Mobility-as-a-Service or environmental traffic management that are finally moving from research to deployment.
BIO: Roberto Cavaliere is an ITS Project Manager at NOI Techpark Südtirol / Alto Adige, a public-owned organization in the Italian alpine region of South Tyrol coordinating the NOI Tech Park and with the mission to drive and foster research & innovation in the region. Roberto is the reference person in NOI for all initiatives in the field of ITS and smart mobility and in the last 10 years has coordinated a relevant number of EU-funded projects in this field. His main interests cover cooperative systems, autonomous driving, ITS for the environment, mobility-as-a-service and sharing mobility, road weather information systems (RWIS).

Glare and reflective pavement Piet Zijlstra/PolyCiviel 160325Piet Zijlstra
Unfortunately, municipalities enticed by substantial cost savings continue to rush into LED conversions
without doing their homework. Often, this leads cities to accept various myths regarding LED street
lighting, including claims that LEDs reduce light pollution while increasing safety and decreasing crime.
In Europe therefore we started using reflective pavements such as reflective concrete and reflectve
asphalt. Reflective pavements provide better nighttime illumination. Reflective pavements can enhance
visibility at night, potentially reducing lighting requirements and saving money and energy.
Duidelijk een kenmerk van een Y-tje en voer voor psychologen wellicht. Onze branche is niet bekend en daarmee nog niet uitdagend genoeg om jeugd te prikkelen. Ooit weleens een marketeer in opleiding horen zeggen: ik wil de infrabranche vernieuwen? Daarnaast staat bouw synoniem aan hard werken. Meer quality time in de toekomst, ze krijgen het nu al met de paplepel ingegeven. Een jonge, zeer succesvolle ondernemer hoorde ik echter zeggen: je wordt groot door hard te werken. Als jouw concurrent tot vijf uur werkt en jij tot zeven heb je voorsprong. Wij gaan zien wat ‘later’ brengt.
Laatste Nieuws en programma Wegdekreflectieplein 20-23 januari InfraTechPiet Zijlstra
Laatste Nieuws: Definitief programma seminars bekend!
Van 20 t/m 23 januari is de tweejaarlijkse beurs InfraTech in Ahoy Rotterdam.
De InfraTech is de ontmoetingsplek voor bestuurders en beleidsadviseurs van gemeenten, provincies en Rijkswaterstaat.
Op het wegdekreflectieplein staan een aantal leden van de werkgroep en een aantal gelieerde bedrijven in het kader van wegdekreflectie.
Wij begroeten u graag op het wegdekreflectieplein om u van de laatste ontwikkelingen op de hoogte te stellen.
De werkgroep is voornemens komend jaar samen met het CROW, met voldoende draagkracht van alle partijen (ook gemeentelijke-, provinciale- en rijksoverheid) een publicatie op te stellen. Deze publicatie heeft als doel nadere uitwerking te geven aan de invulling van de te hanteren bepalingsmethoden en beoordelingscriteria voor de karakterisering van de reflectie-eigenschappen van een verharding.
Het ultieme doel is te komen tot het uitwerken van een vorm van normering die er voor moet zorgen dat reflectie een eigenschap is die functioneel en besteksmatig beschreven kan worden( ook bij moderne contractvormen).
Wij vertellen u als werkgroepleden graag over de uit te geven publicatie met het CROW en wisselen graag van gedachten met u over de toepassing van wegdekreflectie in het bijzonder.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Reflective pavement for Road Safety and Energy Saving a must?!
1. Reflective Pavement for road safety and energy saving a must
Since 18 January 2017, in the Netherlands, the knowledge module Wegdekreflectie - Optical
properties of road signs is in use. The Knowledge Module can be found online at the CROW* under
the modules asphalt pavements and concrete pavements.
By Piet Zijlstra
I myself have been busy with reflective pavements for more than twelve years, and I was a member
of the working group that developed the Knowledge Module. I do not like baked air at all, so I
worked with colleagues, suppliers and various clients of municipalities and provinces to investigate
the possibilities of reflective pavements in public space. Because it is being used more and more by
clients in innovation, I also see that the clock is heard, but it is often not known where the valve is
hanging. The disadvantage of a knowledge module is that some people suddenly think they have
enough knowledge. That is not true of course. What we have been working for years and
researching, you do not even get in a digital publication. This is intended to give handlers to
contractors and contractors and suppliers, but the correct application and good effects come from
advice. No situation is the same. For advice, we are always available as members of the CROW
working group.
Handful
An example of how it should not be came to me from a large municipality last month. It only asks for
reflective asphalt in the tender, and only describes the properties of the reflective rock in the total
asphalt mixture. With a lowest price quote (this happens unfortunately too much) a contractor with
literally a handful (30 grams) of the reflective stone layer in a ton (1000 kg) asphalt would already
meet the requirements. Result: a big disappointment! And worse: if public lighting is considered, this
gives a bad lighting on the road. In addition, such a client will not apply reflective pavement again: a
missed opportunity.
It's quite different if you use the right combination of reflective stone, production and processing.
This applies to asphalt, surface treatments and reflective paving stones. We have this knowledge in
our company. For more than twelve years. PolyCiviel specializes in the application of road surface
reflection in the broadest sense.
In the forefront in Europe
On January 26, the new Dutch public lighting directive NPR13201: 2017 was commissioned as a
successor to the well-known Dutch ROVL 2011. This included reflective pavements, for the first time.
The Netherlands is in the forefront of Europe. Important to this is the vertical illumination intensity,
in subject jargon the Ev. This includes face detection, but also for seeing road users like pedestrians
and cyclists as well as seeing obstacles. For lighting experts, it was already a question of whether you
can get the task with current LED lighting. The question is whether the Ev has to be 1.0 lux to have
sight and obstacle recognition at 4 m distance. That's not necessary. With reflective pavements, Ev
can improve up to 0.5 lux, so light pollution does not need to occur either.
2. Observation
For road users, it is important to perceive facial features with other road users. For social security, it
is important to determine the direction of view, emotional state, intention (body language) and
identity, preferably at 4m distance. Based on this, one can assess whether the other may pose a risk
and respond to it in a timely manner. For road safety, it helps to see the viewpoint in a possible
conflict situation. This is important information for cyclists, for example, whether they have been
seen by a motorist. This is also due to the increasing use of led lighting in the public space. Led often
gives a different image than conventional lighting. By providing good vertical illumination, vertical
obstacles and persons are visible in the viewing area. In the Netherlands, therefore, more attention
has been paid to the application of road decks with higher road reflections, to achieve the same
result with less light. In addition to the primary purpose of perceiving and viewing the environment,
we also consider increasing traffic and social security, comfort and living ability as the result.
Luminance
In the design of public lighting for roads with a traffic function, the luminance concept is counted.
The advantages of increased road surface reflection can therefore be included relatively easily in the
design. In areas of residence, reflective pavements, as mentioned earlier, also affects the quality
criteria for public lighting. This influence was not yet included in the light design or light calculations
of residential areas. Using the measurement value Rho, it is possible to calculate the influence of the
reflection on the vertical illumination intensity. Optically, Rho is a reflection rate, also known as
Albedo. Rho is conveniently compared to an easily measured Y value.

MiniScan EZ.
The Y value indicates the amount of light reflected by a percentage, in percent. In calculation
software (such as Dialux), the Rho value can be used to calculate the indirect vertical illuminance.
Carrying out the road surface reflection in residential areas has a significant impact on the qualitative
requirements.
3. As a (bad) example, a pilot with led lighting at a municipality in the north of
the Netherlands.

We have done luminance measurements (Rl, Qd and Ev) and looked at the image of light, because
that is the case: In an effort to further alleviate the lighting in this public space, this road has become
a no-go area. A combination of mesopic illumination and poor light design leads to a night vision
where even walking the dog in the dark becomes adventurous. The energy-saving potential in this
case is based on reduced burning hours with smart control, and new lighting dimensioning.
Results light measurement and conclusions
The following values are measured at 19:30 h P.M. :
- Eh, : about 3 lux. Equality: approx. 0.2 (grid measurement) = P5
- L, : approx. 0.2 cd · m-2
Starting from the ROVL-2011 where the OVL in this Avenue was designed, the required lighting
quality should be M5 during the highest traffic intensities until about 21.30 h in the evening.
(Relatively high traffic).
This corresponds to Eh approx 7 lux. There can be dimmed hereafter to minimum P5 (Eh, 3 lux night
level). From about 6.00 h in the morning about 100% illumination level for the dark days.
4. Conclusions
1. Asphalt is objective as measured relatively dark (Y-CIE 3 to 4%) causing the lane Low ambient
brightness (adaptation)
2. There is little lane exposure of the headlight headlamp (low Rl value about 3 to 5 Mcd · m-2 · 1x-1)
3. The current 100% level at 19.30 h. P.M. should be about the night level with relatively few Traffic
4. Why is there no horizontal road marking as visual guidance? Now you can become uncertain by
getting glare from oncoming traffic and low light level.
5. With reflective pavement the situation can be much better as Ev can improve with up to 0.5 lux.
What is also noticeable is that light calculations are basically based on the visibility of a 23-year-old
while living in an aging society. Last month there was an item dedicated by the NOS* to the aging
driver. More -over-65s- people are driving in a car. This is evidenced by figures from the Central
Bureau of Statistics (CBS*). In 2005 there were still 408 cars per thousand over-65s. By 2015 there
were 521 cars, and those cars are being driven more. In 2005, nearly 8.5 billion km were taken by the
elderly, in 2015 this increased to 14.2 billion km. That is an increase of about 68%. At the same time,
the elderly are more often involved in road accidents. The proportion of elderly people in traffic
deaths has increased, and this increase is not just due to the aging population. Figures from the CBS
of 2015 show that there were 119 80-plus people after a traffic accident. In 2010, this was still 94 80-
plus. Figures about 2016 have recently become available, and those figures are still worse than
expected. The increase was highest in the age range 18 to 25 years and people over 75 years old.
Smartphone usage is a cause of traffic accidents, but the road construction is of course very
important.
Dutch Minister Schultz called on people to appeal to older drivers on their driving behavior: "If your
father or mother or someone else in your area is in danger of driving, then it is very good to say
that." Again, this group of road users with a much higher light-need make more use of the road.
The light image in the previous image is considerably improved by applying a reflective road surface.
Below is the example in the Groningen municipality of Haren, where 40% Granusil has been used as a
reflective stone in the road surface. A pleasant improvement for "seeing and be seen".

In addition to road safety, municipalities, water boards, provinces and Rijkswaterstaat can also save
on energy because less power is needed. I'll be the last one who says the light can be switched off.
Where necessary, apply light and if possible, outside the urbanized area of the city, without light and
with reflective pavements do your thing. In addition, the reflection can cause a lower temperature of
asphalt during high summers (8-15 degrees cooler), resulting in less trace formation in certain
asphalt mixtures. This will reduce maintenance costs. For example, in the province of Groningen, the
municipality of Assen and the municipality of Groningen have used a combination of sound-reducing
and reflective asphalt with excellent results.

Road Safety
In my view, the relationship with road safety literally also has much more value. Traffic accidents cost
the society (our big wallet) about 14 billion euros a year in the Netherlands! Traffic accidents have
many causes. One of them is smartphone usage. But say that you could now limit 10% of road
accidents (think of the elderly and the visually impaired) by reflective pavement and better visibility,
which would save us all 1.4 billion euros. Spend this on "more view with less power costs."
