a larger range of commodities such as chemicals, milk, and coal slurries. The rise of pipelines has been made possible by technological advances such as the cheap production of pipes, electric welding, and improvements in pipelaying. The transport by pipes has both its advantages and disadvantages. While, it can provide a commodity at a constant and continuous rate, improvements in a pipeline are marginal at best and requires the adding of additional pumping capacity. In addition, the…

I also used a global positioning system (GPS) to assist with finding the location to the meeting facility. Despite by accessible transportation, I do understand there could be potential barriers that could prevent other persons into attending this meeting. The first barrier could be the use of a personal vehicle. While, I am blessed…

The idea for the electric car has been around for several years. EVs, short for electric vehicles, come in four types: the purely battery-operated vehicles, hybrid gas and electric vehicles (plug-in and non-plug-in), and fuel cell operated. These kinds of cars run primarily on electrical power, as opposed to a conventional car that runs on petrol based fuels. Because of this, they are seen as the poster children of green transportation. There has been some debate on whether or not these EVs…

Big or small these human errors could be prevented in driverless cars to prevent people for…
