Les technologies avancées et innovantes sont de plus en plus utilisées dans les infrastructures de transport, en
particulier dans les transports urbains. Bombardier Transport a récemment développé un nouveau système
d'alimentation par induction des véhicules électriques. La solution proposée intègre dans une dalle en béton
préfabriquée installée dans la chaussée, les câbles d'alimentation électrique permettant de créer un champ
d'induction électromagnétique. Un aspect clé du projet est le concept et la résistance au trafic lourd du module
proposé. A cet effet, il a été décidé de réaliser un essai en vraie grandeur avec le simulateur de trafic routier
lourd, le manège de fatigue de l'IFSTTAR à Nantes. Cinq dalles prototypes ont été testées, différenciées par leur
largeur et par l'épaisseur de la couverture en béton au-dessus des câbles. L’expérience consiste à soumettre ces
dalles à un million de passages du jumelage de 65 kN et à suivre le comportement mécanique de la chaussée des
dalles en mesurant les déformations et les déplacements en des points choisis. Cet article présente le concept de
la chaussée expérimentale en dalles préfabriquées, la solution de mise en place et le suivi du comportement de
ces dalles dans l’essai manège en cours.

La signature, le 3 septembre 2013, par les ministres respectivement chargés du développement durable, de l’égalité des territoires et de la recherche, et par le ministre délégué aux transports, du contrat d’objectifs et de performance (COP) avec l’Institut français des sciences et technologies des transports, de l’aménagement et des réseaux (Ifsttar), a été, pour cet établissement public à caractère scientifique et technologique, créé depuis le 1er janvier 2011 et placé sous leur tutelle, une étape importante.
Ce premier COP avait en effet fixé, pour la période 2013-2016, les objectifs prioritaires et les orientations stratégiques à poursuivre, dans tous ses champs de compétences : mobilité durable sûre et responsable, mais aussi génie civil et cycle de vie des matériaux de construction, lutte contre le changement climatique et les risques naturels, ou encore aménagement des villes et des territoires, sont autant d’enjeux majeurs à étudier et de défis à relever, pour permettre à l’Ifsttar de consolider et d’élargir sa réputation scientifique.
Ce COP fera l’objet de premiers éléments de bilan en 2016, pour préparer le 2eme contrat d’objectifs et de performance entre l’État et l’Ifsttar qui devrait couvrir la période 2017-2021.
Au sommaire :
- La route de demain, des infrastructures durables, connectées et plus sûres
- Maîtriser les risques, renforcer les infrastructures
- Faire de la ville des espaces à « énergies positives »

Innovation technology questions
1 Explain how computer-aided design and flexible manufacturing technologies help create small niches in the market place. Provide an example to illustrate your answer
Answer: Computer-aided design and flexible manufacturing help create small niches in the marketplace by allowing firms to develop and produce a greater number of versions of their products. This means that companies can now tailor their offerings to small niches in the marketplace. For example, in 2012, Toyota offered 16 different passenger vehicle lines under the Toyota brand (e.g., Camry, Prius, Highlander, and Tundra). Within each of the vehicle lines, Toyota also offered several different models (e.g., Camry L, Camry LE, Camry SE) with different features and at different price points. Students’ answers will vary.

2At a retreat by the Cleveland City Council, community leaders held a discussion on attracting and developing new businesses and increasing employment rates in the city. One leader suggested that the city should consider sponsoring a business incubator. Explain what an incubator is and how this might help the city meet its goals. What other ideas should be considered
Answer: An incubator is an institution designed to nurture the development of new businesses that might otherwise lack access to funding or advice. It allows companies to share costs and resources until they can stand on their own. If an incubator were started in Salisbury, it would help new businesses to grow and prosper. These businesses could then move out to locations of their own and hire local residents as employees. The city would not have to offer tax breaks or compete with other cities for the location of existing companies, but would be growing their own businesses.

3 How can the s-curves be used as a prescriptive tool? What would be the limitations of this approach?
Answer: Managers can use the s-curve model as a tool for predicting when a technology will reach its limits and as a prescriptive guide for whether and when the firm should move to a new, more radical technology. Firms can use data on the investment and performance of their own technologies, or data on the overall industry investment in a technology and the average performance achieved by multiple producers. Managers could then use these curves to assess whether a technology appears to be approaching its limits or to identify new technologies that might be emerging on s-curves that will intersect the firm’s technology s-curve. Managers could then switch s-curves by acquiring or developing the new technology.
However, there are many limitations to doing this. First, it is rare that the true limits of a technology are known in advance, and there is often considerable disagreement among firms about what a technology’s limits will be. Second, the shape of a technology’s s-curve is not set in stone. Unexpected changes in the market, component technologies, or complementary techno.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. Abstract
After gathering and collecting the data from secondary source of information and making
technical analysis on them it conclude that porter five forces model is not completing
implemented on PTCL. PTCL is facing the problem of threat of new entrants, thereat of
substitutes, and threat of rivalry, but PTCL have good bargaining power of customer and
supplier. Except all of these PTCL have little high switching cost of customers which is the main
resistant of PTCL in increasing its sales. The growth rate of PTCL has been decreased in 2012 by
3% approximately. And the growth rate of Ufone has increased by 46% which is not a good
signed for PTCL future.
If we talk about the SWOT analysis of PTCL we can conclude that PTCL have many strength
and opportunities to increase its business in market. And also have some threats and weakness
which is badly facing by PTCL.
If we talk about the TOWS matrix analysis of PTCL we can conclude that PTCL can increase its
strength by using it opportunities and minimize it threats by using its strengths and also minimize
the weakness by using the opportunities.

The competitive environment is prepared by five forces:
Threat of new entrants
Substitute products
The bargaining power of suppliers
The bargaining power of customer
Competitive rivalry

6. In discussing competition porter competitive strategy distinguishes between factors that characterize the
nature of competition. The competitive forces influence the state of competition and also influences the
collectively determine the profit potential of the industry as whole.
Threat of new entrants (and barriers to entry to keep them out)
Barriers to entry:
Scale of economics:
High fixed costs often imply a high breakeven point. And a high breakeven pint depends on a
large volume of sales. PTCL has achieved this target in Pakistan so it is very difficult to beat
PTCL due this barrier because PTCL has a large volume of sales in telecommunication
department in Pakistan.
Product differentiation:
Existing firms in industry can built up a good brand image and strong customer relationship over
a long period of time. In Pakistan PTCL is providing number of different products such as
Wire line products:
Land line/ fixed phone
Broadband
Smart TV
Wireless products:
Page 6
7. Vfone
EVO 3G 3.1
EVO 3G nitro 9.3
3G EVO Tab
In telecom industry there is not an other industry which have these types of products so PTCL is
completely enjoying its product differentiation.
Capital requirement:
When capital requirement is high the barrier against new entrant will be strong, so in the case of
new entrants of any firms in the telecommunication industry PTCL should have large amount of
capital to overcome to its competitors.
Knowledge requirements:
As well as high capital requirements knowledge and know how are also necessary to make a
barriers for competitors. PTCL is working in Pakistan since 1947. And it has a complete
knowledge staff of telecom sector. So it is also a barrier against its competitors.
Switching costs:
Switching cost refer to the costs of time, money, and convenience that a customer would have to
incur by switching from one supplier products to another supplier. There are some competitors of
PTCL in providing the services of internet facility. Qubee,Wateen, Witribe and Private net cable
providers. PTCL have a high cost of installation which is not a good sign as barriers to entry.
Access of distribution channels:
PTCL have a number of exchanges in all over the Pakistan. So it is another barrier for new entry.

Is PTCL has established any brand identities in telecom industry?
Does PTCL will incur any high costs in switching suppliers?
Is a high amount of capital needed to enter a new company in
industry?
Do the new companies will face difficulty in accessing distribution
channels?
Do the new companies face the problems in obtaining the necessary
materials, skilled people or supplies?
Does PTCL product or service have any basic features that give
PTCL lower costs?
Can the new coming companies expect strong retaliation on
entering the market?

9. Results:
The above facts and figures shows that PTCL have not huge threat from new entrance because
the new entrance will face difficulty in accessing distribution channels, new entrance need huge
amount of capital, new entrance will face difficulty obtaining the necessary materials, skilled
people or supplies, new entrance will take a lot of time to grab the market.
Page 9
10. Threat from substitute products:
PTCL have many competitors like (warid, mobilink, wateen, witribe, qubee and etc) which are
providing the substitute products in the telecom market. The threat can be determined on the
basis of annual profit of competitors.

11. Results:
According to the facts and figures we can say that the growth rate of PTCL is decreased by 2.9%.
This is not good sign for PTCL. In other hand all companies are going in profit and also
increasing its growth rate gradually except wateen. So there is a need to overcome on its
competitors for PTCL.
WT (weakness and threat)
PTCL can expand network coverage with the help of improved firm infrastructure and PTCL can also reduce the percentage of customers which are switching to other networks.
By using the advantage of profit taking growth of subsidiaries PTCL can minimize its flat organizational structure and PTCL can also reduce the price wars among competitors
By taking the advantage of scope for cost efficient operations PTCL can minimize the extra employee overhead cost to extra hiring’s and PTCL can also make barriers against new entrance.
By using the advantage of joint venture with other telecom companies for introducing new technology PTCL poor coverage of wireless and line services and PTCL can also easily beat to its competitors.
By using the advantage of adopt lasted technology PTCL can reduce the poor customer services especially in call centre PTCL can also decrease its energy crises.

12. Bargaining power of customer
There is high bargaining power of customer in telecommunication sector. There are many
competitors in market and they are offering the different packages at different prices to
customers and situation of price war is running very hardly. Customer has a power of buying any
package which is suited to them. Charge of switching from one company package to other
company package is low. Hence power of customer is high.
Bargaining power can be
represented through this table.
Questions
Yes (+)
No (-)
Are there a huge number of buyers related to the number of
firms in the business?
Is PTCL not charging very high switching cost from
customers?
Is number of buyers are greater than number of suppliers in
market?
Is PTCL having a large number of customers each with
comparatively small purchases?
Is the customer has complete awareness about different
market prices?
Is the customer is required a lot of important information

about PTCL?
Is there anything that prevents PTCL customer from
switching to another company?
Is PTCL customers are highly sensitive to price?
Is PTCL product is unique to some degree or has accepted
branding?
Is PTCL customers are satisfied from suppliers?

Results
The above facts and figures shows that the bargaining power of the customer is high because if
PTCL will not provide products and services at the economic rate to customers. They will be
move to other networks which results a decrease in the sales of PTCL. The switching cost which
is charged by PTCL from its customers is so high this is not a good sign for PTCL.
Page 13
14. Bargaining power of suppliers:
The power of supplier is high in case of telecommunication sector. But the reality is that
numbers of suppliers are few in the markets but they are competing in the market to make
agreement with mobile service providers. The overall aim of the suppliers is that to get the
higher prices from customers.
Yes (+)
No (-)
The numbers of suppliers of PTCL are high in the market
there for bargaining power will be high of suppliers.
PTCL suppliers would find it hard and difficult to enter my
business
PTCL have a variety of potential suppliers.
PTCL business is significant to its suppliers.
PTCL cost of purchases has not major influence on PTCL
overall costs.
Is PTCL have products which is differentiated from
competitors products?
