A newly developed modular mobile flyover bridge enables vehicles to pass directly over sections of highway under construction, eliminating the need to detour around them. Called the ASTRA Bridge, its purpose is to enhance convenience for drivers and improve safety for construction workers.

#Straddle_monorail with rubber wheels traveling across on the track/beam. Except the walking wheels, there are guiding wheels and stabilizing wheels on both sides of the bogie, which clamp on both sides of the track beam, to ensure the vehicle safely and smoothly running along the track. It has several advantages over traditional #trains. They require minimal space, are quieter, have an excellent #safety record, and are not physically capable of #derailing. Additionally, they can climb and descend steeper grades, making them a great option for hilly terrain. However, they do have some disadvantages. They are fairly slow, and the difficulty of switching, adding or removing cars is complicated, and expensive construction. Overall, the benefits of straddle monorail outweigh the drawbacks.

🚧 Modern technology is revolutionizing road construction, and this video of the modular mobile flyover bridge is a perfect example. It demonstrates how we can empower road resurfacing without stopping traffic, ensuring both efficiency and safety. ⚠️🚦 While work is carried out under the bridge, traffic continues to flow smoothly at 60 km/h in two lanes above. This not only minimizes inconvenience but also maximizes productivity. Innovations like these highlight the importance of integrating lean concepts into infrastructure projects, paving the way for smarter and faster construction methods. I can't help but think about the immense potential of adopting this technology in Africa. It offers tremendous growth opportunities. If current professionals don't implement it, it's up to us, the upcoming generation, to embrace life-changing technologies like this, Looking forward to it. #RoadConstruction #Innovation #LeanManufacturing #Infrastructure #Efficiency #Africa #FutureTech #SustainableDevelopmentbad #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #Construction #Engineering #SustainableDesign #UrbanPlanning #ProjectManagement #InnovationInConstruction #CivilEngineersestablished #youngengineers #youngprofessionals #constructionindustry #aecindustry #professionaldevelopment #careertips #careeradvice #personaldevelopment #finances #Sifu_Enjinia #ConWriter

Bus stops are by far the most common transport interchange, but not many people think about what happens at them unlike railway stations, for example, where the process of getting from the street and onto a train is well mapped out. Interesting article from Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) on bus stop design. #publictransport #bus https://lnkd.in/eaX7iEvP

🚧 Enhancing Road Safety with Advanced Crash Barriers 🚧 At Unibuilders Infratech, we believe in the power of knowledge sharing to drive innovation and improve safety standards in road construction. One critical area for road safety is the proper use of crash barriers, particularly on high embankments, sharp curves (radius above 450m), and structure locations. Here’s a quick overview of the types of crash barriers used in such conditions: 🔹 W-Beam Crash Barriers: Widely used on roads, this technology is designed to absorb impact and reduce the severity of accidents. Its flexibility allows it to be a first choice for highways, embankments, and curves. 🔹 Thrie-Beam Crash Barriers: An advanced version of the W-beam, offering extra strength and stability for higher risk zones such as steep curves and bridge approaches. 🔹 Concrete Barriers: Typically used on bridges and overpasses, concrete barriers offer maximum resistance and are best suited for preventing vehicle crossovers in critical zones. 🔹 Wire Rope Safety Barriers: These are gaining popularity due to their ability to flex and absorb the impact, minimizing damage to vehicles and passengers, especially effective on embankments and curves. 💡 Latest Technologies: 1. Smart Crash Barriers: Embedded with sensors to detect impact and immediately alert authorities. This technology is being piloted globally, offering real-time monitoring and quicker response times during accidents.    2. Energy Absorbing Barriers: Innovative designs that dissipate energy on impact, reducing the force of collision. These barriers can be customized for high-risk zones like sharp curves and structures. 3. High-Tension Cable Barriers: Flexible and designed to prevent vehicles from veering off roads, especially useful on steep embankments. By staying updated on the latest advancements and continuously improving our approach, we can make roads safer for everyone. Together, let’s work toward building a safer, smarter road network! #RoadSafety #CrashBarriers #ConstructionInnovation #HighwaySafety #UnibuildersInfratech #SmartInfrastructure

Thanks to a mobile flyover bridge, vehicles continue at 60 km/h in two lanes above while work is done below. This outside-the-box solution by the Swiss Federal Roads Office could revolutionize road maintenance. What do you think?

Hump yards are the largest and most effective classification yards with the largest shunting capacity, often several thousand cars a day. They work similarly to gravity yards, but the falling gradient is limited to a small part of the yard, namely the hump. It is the heart of the yard - a lead track on a small hill over which an engine pushes the cars. Single cars, or a block of coupled cars, are uncoupled at or just before the crest of the hump, and roll by gravity onto their destination tracks in the area of the yard where the cars are sorted, called the classification bowl.

LSM TrainSense® and LSM BridgeSense® (both Int. pat. pend.) offer a cost-effective worlds first solution. Priced under $100 per in-cabin device per vehicle, these systems require no extra infrastructure or ongoing maintenance / support, and are easy to implement, with the low costs recoverable through vehicle registration. This CAAS mitigation technology can save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce taxpayer expenditure by $millions or even $billions compared to more expensive, less effective systems. LSM TrainSense® and LSM BridgeSense® can integrate or augment with existing tech, minimise human error, behavioural issues, and environmental factors. They provide audible and visual alerts inside the driver’s cabin and can trigger deceleration, braking, or automatic emergency braking (AEB) if warnings are ignored.
