BRAKE provides our young people with the knowledge and confidence to become safe road users. Wondering how our students envision their behaviour on the roads post-program completion? Here are some insightful responses from our next generation of road users that showcase the positive impact of BRAKE. #roadsafety #australia #education #drivingknowledge4life

Last week NIRA attended TRB for both winter and summer purposes. This week we are having a pure winter conference in the region inventing snow and winter maintenance; northern Scandinavia, Bodø hosted by the Norwegian DoT. As a continuation on the previous Scandinavian projects WRIP is the running winter maintenance project for innovation and implementation. Today's topic is friction from different sources and how to use it. Henrik Thunberg explains what NIRA does and how connected vehicles elevate winter maintenance for preventive, live, and forensic viewpoint. #wintermaintenance #roadsafety

#SpringsAreEverywhere including the CTA! If you plan on visiting Chicago after SpringWorld, you may run into intermediate coupler springs at the subway. Intermediate coupler springs connect individual subway cars together. They also help maintain a consistent distance between cars, reduce shock loads, and ensure a smooth ride as the train navigates uneven tracks or curves. Will you be exploring the city to unwind after your time in SpringWorld? Let us know in the comments below! #SpringsAreEverywhere #CTA #ChicagoTransit #SpringWorld #ManufacturingExpo #SpringTechnology #EngineeringInAction #SmoothRide #ExploreChicago #VisitChicago

During this year’s #railroadsafetyweek, remember that trains are faster and quieter than you think. If you see a train approaching, keep in mind that trains cannot stop quickly. The average freight train takes the equivalent of 18 football fields to come to a complete stop. If a train hits your vehicle, the weight ratio between your car and the train is the equivalent to a car coming in contact with a soda can; your car is the soda can. #seetracksthinktrainweek. #railsafetyeducation

LSM BridgeSense® (int.pat.pend) technology, https://lnkd.in/gJR4p9Jn, is the solution to reducing human error and behaviour-related issues. Provides both audible and visual alerts directly within the driver's cabin for over- height, over- weight, over width, integrates with truck crane, bin, tray to ensure they are down and can initiate vehicle deceleration, braking, or automatic emergency braking (AEB) if warnings are ignored. #bridgeimpact #bridgecollision #bridgeengineering #bridgesense #bridgedesign #bridgeclearance #overheadimpact #teamlsm #technology #innovation #creativity #healthandsafety #railsafety

Ever been caught out trying to pass a road train? New signage rolling out in Western Australia will help to improve safety for other road users. Qube was an early adopter of new pictorial length signage on road trains in WA, which will replace existing ‘ROAD TRAIN’ or ‘LONG VEHICLE’ signs, which currently cover vehicle combinations ranging from 22 to 60 metres in length. It follows a trial of the new signs that started in late 2022, with Qube Bulk among several companies to fit the new signs to some of their road trains. The new signs, being rolled out from 1 July 2024, are aimed at giving other road users a clearer idea of the length of the vehicle in front of them – before attempting to overtake. #Qube #QubeHoldings #roadsafety #roadtrain

On the last day of the 2024 See Tracks? Think Train® Week, a few important reminders: • Always use caution around #railroad tracks and trains. • Obey all signs, signals and markings. • Never walk or play on or near tracks. It’s illegal and dangerous. • Trains can move on any track, in either direction at any time. • Trains have the right of way 100% of the time. • Never try to beat a train. • ALWAYS EXPECT A TRAIN.
