Google Creates The Android-Based Open Automotive Alliance To Bring The Platform To Cars
The Open Automotive Alliance consists of Google, GM, Honda, Audi, Hyundai, and chipmaker Nvidia, to bring Android to the car ecosystem. In order to completely finish off the interest in safety, the alliance has been in contact with the National Highways Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in order to ensure their new system is safe for in-car use.
Its primary goal is to "bring the best of Android into the automobile in a safe and seamless way." Sounds like a good plan. Meanwhile, this Alliance will have to compete against the legions of Apple's own iOS, seen in BMWs and cars belonging to the Daimler group.

I don't want some "realistic" delusional crazy person, enviornmentalist with weather controlling tech.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the entire Ultimates/Ultimates 2 arc, but Millar's story ends by clearly demonstrating that Thor is in fact Thor (complete with a giant army of Asgardian warriors appearing in the finale to help defeat Loki).
But it was that cocktease in the beginning (among other things) that drove me away from the Ultimates early in its run so I didn't know. I would imagine that it was mandate from the editors handed down to Millar because he doesn't strike me as the type of guy to include something like that in his comic. I'm sure if he had it his way, Thor wouldn't have been the true god of thunder in keeping with the "realism" of the Ultimates.
That's the thing about the Ultimate version of Thor; everyone
thought he was a crazy environmentalist with weather tech. He never doubted it even when Loki was trying to convince everyone otherwise. And to be honest, in a world full of people who can do god-like things, who's
going to believe someone is a god of old? Especially when he's apparently the only one wandering around. It would be like Tony Stark trying to tell people he's really Hephestus.
Personally I really liked the Ultimate Thor. His costume looks a
better, his personality makes a lot more sense, his views are a vast improvement, and it actually shys away from the campiness that occurs whenever Thor deals with anything Asgardian. It's especially nice because while he is vastly powerful, he's not all Odinpower-ed up to unreasonable limits. He's a blend of the wise tactician and the brute warrior, as opposed to the normal Thor who swings one way or the other in every incarnation.

what type of paint to use on molding
westcoastbeginnerJune 12, 2007
What type of paint satin, semi-gloss, high-gloss is best to use on molding (crown, baseboard, etc.) I trough high-gloss was best, but someone recommend semi-gloss as it give a better finished look
Most DIYers can achieve a smoother finish with semi and satin paints/finishes than with gloss. Getting a smooth finish when using gloss requires some practice and good or better---not average or cheap---equipment. A $3 paint brush will leave a streaky finish when using gloss paint, for instance.
I think gloss is better.

Karma Art :: Pay What You Want!
The end of the year is coming, and having almost completed my SelfLove365 Project, I am realizing how difficult I find it to love, or even like, parts of myself. Sometimes, even accepting myself is a challenge. But this is what I strive for now – to accept what is here, what is now, what is in front of me. That's not to say I won't then go ahead and do something to change it, but in order to change it, I feel the need to make peace with it first, to accept that part of me, because in all likelihood, it's here for the long haul. In honour of accepting myself, I made this painting, "Acceptance".
Karma price: pay what you want.
Yes, you read that right! :)
Send me an email (magknit[at]telus.net) telling me:
1. Why you want this painting.
2. What gift you share with the world. Maybe you do already, or maybe it's something you've been thinking about. Be generous with yourself here. You have many gifts. Or, alternatively, tell me about something you have recently accepted, or have trouble accepting, about yourself.
3. The amount you wish to give for the painting.
Some things I would like you to know:
– you have until midnight on Dec. 31, 2014 to send me the email.
– there is a minimum cost of shipping to cover if you are outside of Calgary. ($30 in Canada, $40 to U.S.)
– I sell other paintings of this size for $500.
Once I choose who will receive the painting, I will contact you with details about payment methods.
Much love to you!
Mini Paintings!
Some new paintings!
Pay what you want!
In preparation for Art Battle, Alberta Regional Finals (last Friday, July 4… blog post to follow soon), I did three practice 20-minute paintings. These will all be available this week to my email subscribers only, with PAY-WHAT-YOU-WANT pricing.

Today's Lesson: Paint it Black
After I've been working on a painting for awhile, I step back and observe. Usually I notice that it is missing something here, or a little something needs to go there. But once in awhile, a painting needs a BIG makeover. It's too rainbow, too monotonous, and doesn't have enough contrast. The answer: black.
I can understand how this may be daunting. I can get caught up in not wanting to ruin my painting, whatever that means! I occasionally become attached to certain areas, and allow myself that attachment. Sometimes I will save those little bits, and sometimes I'll just paint right over them. More often than not, if I save them, after a few days I am able to paint over them without shouting, "CRAP!" Painting with black turns the project right around, allowing it to go in a whole different direction. It's a great way to get past being stuck and it adds wonderful depth to the image.
I finished this one today and just love how it turned out (but I am not attached to it.. I could do another round of black, I guess..). I've named it "Ether" – it is now available in my etsy shop.

Table 5: Intersection Sight Distance Based on Gap Acceptance 40 7 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE OVERVIEW Background The safe operation at intersections or driveways requires adequate sight distance so drivers can enter the roadway safely. The primary definition for intersection sight distance is provided by the AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design for Streets and Highways, i.e. the Green Book. The three recent editions of this policy, 1984, 1990 and 1994, have each altered the recommended criteria. The methods to determine intersection sight distance are based on models that describe the operation of the entering vehicle and the conflicting vehicle on the major roadway. These methods, or cases as defined in the Green Book, treat: Case I Uncontrolled Intersections Case II Yield Controlled Intersections Case III Stop Controlled Intersections Case IV d Signal Controlle Intersections Case V Left Turns from Major Highway The primary changes in intersection sight distance arose from the change in vehicle acceleration characteristics. Content This background papersummarizes the literature, standards and current practice on intersection sight distance. The primary emphasis of this discussion is on the driver behaviour, traffic operation conditions and vehicle operating characteristics that influence the required intersection sight distance. The discussion will also deal with the height of eye, height of object and location from which intersection sight distance should be measured. The discussion includes information drawn from policies, standards, current practice and recent research. The primary sources of the policies and standards are the AASHTO Policies on Geometric Design, 1984, 1990 and 1994 Editions, and the Oregon Highway Design Manual. The changes in vehicle sizes, operating characteristics, driver experience and behaviour, and traffic operations necessitate modifications in the criteria. 8 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE OVERVIEW (Continued) Issues The intersection sight distance is a major control for the safe operation of roadways. It is of particular concern for access management with the numerous driveways and approach roads that must be safely accommodated. All intersecting driveways and roadways must have adequate intersection sight distance. The AASHTO Green Book criteria for intersection sight distance are felt to very conservative. They are often viewed as providing desirable sight distances for conditions, rather than the minimum acceptable. The models describing intersection operations on which the intersection sight distance criteria are based result in very long sight distances for passenger cars, and enormous sight distances for entering trucks. The height of object at 1300 mm (4.25 ft), the roof of approaching vehicle, is also viewed as inadequate, but because it allows the driver to see the roof of the approaching automobile. A major issue is how much entering vehicles should be allowed to interfere with the traffic stream. Current AASHTO policies assume that the vehicle on the major roadway is only slowed to 85% of design speed by entering vehicles. An absolute minimum condition is provided by the stopping sight distance for the approaching vehicle to the intersection. 9 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE OVERVIEW (Continued) a Intersection Sight Intersection sight dist nce must be provided for all entering Distance as an driveways and roadways. The location and spacing of intersections Access Management can be impacted by the intersection sight distance. Measure It can also dictate locations where medians should be placed to assure safe operations. Questions to Intersection sight distance presents a complex and difficult issue. be Answered It requires a somewhat involved analysis. The criteria to determine a safe intersection sight distance are not clear. Numerous conditions influence the intersection sight distance. Conditions and operations vary on different highways, by urban vs. rural, speed, expectations, and volume levels. The questions to be answered include: 1. If coefficient of friction is used to determine the minimum distance to stop before an intersection, should it represent a comfortable or an emergency deceleration rate? Should they be the same as for design stopping sight distance? 2. not What height of eye should be used? Likely, this will change fromAASHTO's values. 3. The current height of object, according to AASHTO criteria, is 1300 mm (4.25 ft). This is assumed to be the top of a car. The question is how much of the approaching car does a driver need to see to judge the speed and closure rate? Some suggest the height of headlight, 610 mm (2.0 ft), should be specified. 4. If the AASHTO Green Book method is used, a perception reaction time of 2 seconds for the entering driver is assumed for both left turns and right turns. Should the left turn perception reaction time be longer, and if so, how much longer? Should the perception reaction time change for various classes of facilities, speeds, volume levels and urban vs. rural? 10 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE OVERVIEW (Continued) Questions to 5. Should the same intersection sight distance criteria be used be Answered for all roadways, regardless of speed, volume, class of (Continued) facility and urban vs. rural? Do the safety "risks," and effect on traffic, such asplatooned flow, differ for certain conditions? 6. For left turns from the arterial to the cross-road; how much clearance should be provided, what perception-reaction time should be adopted, does sight distance change with the class of facility, volume, speed and urban vs. rural? What are the consequences of inadequate clearances or sight distances? 7. Should sight distance for trucks be considered, if so, how, where, when and why? 8. distance Should the perception-reaction or intersection sight criteria be modified at complex locations? 9. Should the perception-reaction time for elderly drivers be considered in the criteria? 10. Should the "human factors" limit for drivers to see and judge vehicle speed and rate of closure be used to set the intersection sight distance criteria? 11 This page intentionally left blank. 12 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE HEIGHT OF EYE i Current Standard The current standard for heght of eye is 1070 mm (3.5 ft). This standard may be changed in the immediate future to 1000 mm (3.28 ft) or 1 meter. This is supported by research that has shown that the height of cars has decreased sufficiently to reduce the height of eye to 1 meter for a significant proportion of the driving population. Trucks The critical vehicle at some locations is the truck. Truck eye heights have been found to range from 1820 mm (71.5 in) to 2860 mm (112.5 in) with an average height of 2360 mm (93 in). A height of eye of 2400 mm (8.0 ft) is often assumed for design. 13 This page intentionally left blank. 14 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE HEIGHT OF OBJECT Current Standard The current standard for height of eye is 1300 mm (4.25 ft) for intersection sight distance. This gives a view of the top of the roof, a small splinter. This "splinter" is even more difficult to see if the automobile is an earth tonecolor. This may not give an adequate view of the approaching car to judge speed and rate of closure. Suggested Standard The height of headlights, 610 mm (2.0 ft), could give an adequate view of the approaching car in virtually all conditions, day or night. In fact, it is likely that a height somewhat higher than the headlights could be used since the headlights diffuse upward. It is 0 assumed to be at a 1 angle for calculation of the stopping sight distance on sag vertical curves. This amounts to 530 mm (1.75 ft) per 30.5 m (100 ft). A height of object of 1000 to 1140 mm (3.25 to 3.75 ft) could be argued, and supported. 15 This page intentionally left blank. 16 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE VEHICLE POSITION FOR SIGHTING Driver's Eye The vehicle is assumed to be positioned 3 m (10 ft) behind the Position extension of the pavement edges or curb lines. This places the driver's eye about 6 m (20 ft) from the pavement edge, or curb lines extended. Many jurisdictions assume a location of the driver's eye to be at 4.6 m (15 ft) behind the pavement edge. Sight Distance Many driveways are located with relatively close spacing where with Parked parked cars block the line of sight. At such locations, the Vehicles placement of the vehicle 3 m (10 ft) behind the edge of pavement would not be realistic. The operation of a prudent driver would often be assumed where the driver stops before the sidewalk or crosswalk, then pulls forward far enough to see on-coming traffic without encroaching on the through traffic lanes. 17 This page intentionally left blank. 18 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO CRITERIA FOR INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO There are five different cases of intersection sight distance that can Intersection be used to determine the required sight distance. These are Sight Distance ic identified and defined in the AASHTO Geometr Design of Cases Highways and Streets, 1990 and 1994. They are discussed following. Case I: This case would apply for uncontrolled intersections and driveways. Uncontrolled According to the O.R.S., a vehicle may enter the roadway from a Intersections driveway without stopping if it can do so without conflicting with any vehicles on the roadway. Case II: This case would apply at any intersection or driveway where a yield Yield Controlled sign is used. The sight distance required must meet the Intersections requirements for an uncontrolled operation, that is, uncontrolled speed, from the minor street or driveway (Case I) plus the requirements for a stopped control intersection (Case III). Case III: This case applies to any two way stop controlled intersections. Stop Controlled There are three sub-cases for crossing the intersection, making a Intersections left turn and making a right turn. This case provides the primary criteria for intersection sight distance conditions for access management. Case IV: This case applies at signal controlled intersections where the critical Signal Controlled condition occurs with free right turns and when the signal is not Intersections operating, so essentially a stop controlled condition exits. Case V: The new 1994 Green Book specifies a new case for sight where a Left Turn Bay left turn movement must have adequate sight distance to make a Sight Distance turn from a left turn bay. This could apply at intersections, at median openings or at any location where a left turn could be made from a continuous two-way left-turn lane. 19 This page intentionally left blank. 20 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA Case I: The uncontrolled intersection sight distance requires that drivers Uncontrolled approaching an uncontrolled intersection on a cross street must Intersection - have sufficient sight distance across the intersection corners to: Vehicles Adjust Speeds 1. At least, be able to adjust speeds to avoid a collision. 2. Desirably, be able to stop. The first sub-case to adjust speeds provides two seconds of perception-reaction time plus one second for braking, accelerating or maneuvering. The distances travelled by the vehicles approaching the intersection in 3 seconds generate the sight triangle shown in Figure 1, where the distance that the vehicle travels on approach is defined by: (b) (db) da = db - a where, da and db = distances travelled at speed to perceive and react, and brake, accelerate ormaneuver. a and b = distances from vehicle path to obstruction. 21 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case I: Uncontrolled Intersection - Vehicles Adjust Speeds (Continued) Figure 1: Sight Distance at Intersections Case 1: No Stop Control - Enabling Vehicles to Adjust speed 22 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case I': The second sub-case allows the vehicles on either or both Uncontrolled approaches to stop before reaching the point of impact. Thus, the Intersections - stopping distances for the critical approach speeds are calculated Stopping Sight from the stopping sight distance equation: Distance d = 0.278 Vt + V2 / 254f (Metric) or d = 1.47 Vt + V2 / 30(f ± g) (English) Case II: eet The minor street is the only str that needs adequate sight Yield Control distance to stop at yield controlled intersections. It must meet the Intersections uncontrolled intersection sight distance criteria for the allowable approach speeds. Then, if the vehicle on the minor street is stopped, it must have an adequate sight distance to enter the intersection after stopping. Case III: The sight distance at stop controlled intersections must be adequate Stop-Controlled eye for vehicles to cross, turn left, or turn right. The driver's is Intersections assumed to be 6 m (20 ft) behind the edge of pavement or curb, with a height of 1070 mm (3.5 ft), and the object height is 1300 mm (4.25 ft) as previously discussed. The three sub-cases of intersection sight distances are illustrated in Figure 2. where d = stopping distance, m or ft, V = speed, km/h or mph, t = perception reaction time, sec, f = coefficient of friction Discussion Paper No. 8.B 23 INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case III: Stop-Controlled Intersections (Continued) Figure 2. Intersection Sight Distance at At-Grade Intersections (AASHTO, Fig. IX-35) 24 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case IIIA: The stopping sight distance for crossing, referred to as Case IIIA, is Crossing Sight determined based on a perception reaction time of two seconds plus Distance ss the time it takes to accelerate from a stop and cro the roadway, a distance of S; S = 3.05 m + W + L (Metric) S = 10 ft + W + L (English) with, 3.05 m (10 ft) = set back from edge of the pavement or curb to the front bumper of the vehicle, W = width of pavement, or 1/2 of pavement width for sight distance to the left, L = length of stopped vehicle.

At higher speeds, the sight distance for crossing gives a shorter sight distance than the stopping distance required for a vehicle operating at design speed. 25 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case IIIA: Crossing Sight Distance (Continued) D 'S' W L SD Figure 3: Sight Distance at Intersections Case IIIA: With Stop Control - Enabling Stopped Vehicles to Cross Major Highway TPR = "PR" Time + Time to shift TA = Time to accelerate and travel 'S' 'S' = D + W + L Distance across highway 26 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case IIIA: The required intersection sight distance is then the distance a Crossing Sight vehicle would travel on the major facility at the design speed during Distance the perception reaction time and the time to accelerate and cross (Continued) the roadway: T = TPR + TA where, T = time to cross, TPR = initial delay to start, or perception-reaction time, assumed to be two seconds, TA = time to accelerate and cross the major facility.

Design Manual follows. 27 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case IIIA: Crossing Sight Distance (Continued) Figure 4: Sight Distance-Grade Intersection with Stop Control 28 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case IIIB: The second subcase, Case III-B, provides sight distance for vehicles Left Turn turning left from the stop controlled approach. Intersection Sight Distance This case provides enough sight distance to the left of the intersection to enable the entering vehicle to turn left onto a two- lane, two-way roadway. In this case, the distance travelled by the turning vehicle is greater than when crossing, therefore the required sight distance will increase. Also, the vehicle will be turning toward the arterial vehicle crossing from the left. The sight distance to the left is calculated based on: d = 0.278V(Td + Ta) or d = 1.47V(Td + Ta) where, d = sight distance to left V = design speed of major speed, km/h or mph Td = sum of delay time for perception-reaction and time to shift, assumed to be 2 seconds Ta = time required to accelerate and traverse the distance to clear traffic from left Distance travelled to clear traffic from the left, S: S = 3.05 m + W + L L (Metric) S = 10 ft + WL + L (English) where, 3.05 m (10 ft)= setback from the stop line WL = pavement width for sight distance to left, 1.5 X lane width W = vehicle length 29 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE AASHTO INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Case IIIB: The sight distance to the right is calculated based on the distance Left Turn required for the vehicle to accelerate to 85% of design speed with Intersection the mainline vehicle having a clearance of a 2 second headway Sight Distance between the entering vehicle on the major facility, which is to (Continued) decelerate to 85% of design speed. Case IIIC: The right turn vehicle must have sufficient sight distance for Right Turn vehicles approaching from the left, known as Case IIIC. The sight Intersection distance requirements for the right turnmaneuver is a few feet less Sight Distance than required for the left turnmaneuver, Case IIIB with the vehicle coming from the right. Case IV: It is recommended that Case III sight distance requirements be Signal Control applied at signalized intersections due to the potential violation of Intersection the signal, right turns on red, signal malfunction or use of flashing Sight Distance red/yellow mode. It is also suggested that sight restrictions due to parked cars, guard rail location, snow accumulation, signs or other roadside appurtenances should be considered. Where it is not possible or cost effective to change the design conditions sufficiently to provide sight distance, it may be necessary to introduce measures to reduce vehicle speeds. A summary of all stop controlled intersection sight distances for all case and stopping sight requirements is given in Figure 5 from the 1990 AASHTO Green Book. Case V: The sight distance for a vehicle turning left from a major roadway Stopped Vehicle into an intersection or a driveway is given in the 1994 AASHTO Turning Left from Policy on Geometric Design (metric). These criteria control when a a Major Highway left turn, or turn lane is permitted. Under most circumstances, the required critical gap for the left turn will control. 30 Figure 5: Intersection Sight Distance at At-Grade Intersection (Case IIIB and Case IIIC) 31 This page intentionally left blank. 32 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE GAP ACCEPTANCE Field Studies Two states use a gap acceptance measure to determine stop controlled intersection sight distance. Field studies of gap acceptance were undertaken by Fitzpatrick et al. with the following results for both right and left turns (1): Probability Passenger 5-Axle of accepting a gap Car Truck 50% 6.5 sec 8.5 sec 85% 8.25 sec 10.0 sec This study also found gap acceptance data at low volume and/or intersections affected by the geometry, as follows: Probability Passenger 5-Axle of accepting a gap Car Truck 85% 10.5 sec 15.0 sec (1) Kay Fitzpatrick, J. Mason,Jr. and D. Harwood, "Comparison of Sight Distance Procedures for Turning Vehicles from a Stop-Controlled Approach," 1991 Annual T.R.B. Meeting, Washington D.C. 33 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE GAP ACCEPTANCE (Continued) CALTRANS CALTRANS requires that a vehicle must be visible for 7-1/2 Corner Sight seconds to determine the corner sight distance at unsignalized Distance intersections. This is assumed to be adequate for crossing and turning maneuvers. For left-turning vehicles in 2 lane roadways, this will result in some slowing of the vehicle on the major facility For left-turning vehicles on 4 lane facilities, a 7-1/2 second time for sight distance to the outside lane, i.e., the near lane, will provide increased sight distance for left turning vehicles to clear on-coming vehicles in the inside lane. They further specify that if high costs or disruption due to expensive right-of-way, required building removal, extensive excavation or excessive environmental impacts would result from imposing the 7-1/2 second corner rule, the minimum stopping distance criterion may be used. That is, the approaching vehicle on the major roadway should have minimum stopping distance provided to avoid colliding with the entering vehicle, however, CALTRANS minimum stopping sight distance is equivalent to the average of the AASHTO minimum and desirable stopping sight distances. Further, they specify a set-back from the edge of the roadway to the driver of 4.5 m (15 ft). They do not apply the corner sight distance requirements to urban driveways. They do require that a decision sight distance be applied at intersections where a state sign route turns or is crossed by another state route. 34 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE GAP ACCEPTANCE (Continued) 7.0 Second The 7.0 second gap is supported in the 1984 Green Book and 1990 Gap Fitzpatrick et al. study. Green Book and the field studies from the The 1990 Green Book states: "A minimum of 7 seconds should be available to the driver of a passenger vehicle crossing the through lanes" of a local road or street. Also, the "sight distance should be sufficient to permit a vehicle in the minor leg of the intersection to cross the travel way without requiring the approaching through traffic to slow down." Summary of The minimum gap given is 6.5 sec from field studies. Two states, Automobile Gap Michigan and California, respectively, for intersection sight distance Acceptance at stop controlled intersections. The 85th percentile gap of 8.25 Measures sec was found for both right and left turning vehicles for moderate to high volume intersections. The 10.5 second gap was found for the 85th percentile gap for intersections with low volumes and intersection geometry influences. Truck Gap The 50th percentile accepted gap for trucks is 8.5 sec, with the 85th Acceptance percentile gap at 10.0 sec. These are about 2 sec larger than the accepted gaps for passenger cars. At low volume locations and/or locations with intersection geometric influences the 85th percentile gap increases by 5 seconds to 15 sec. 35 This page intentionally left blank. 36 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE OTHER INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE MEASURES Other sight distance measures should be referenced before a comparison or recommendation can be made. Emergency The emergency stopping distance is determined from the same Stopping distance relationships shown previously: Distance d = 0.278Vt + V2 / 254f (Metric) or d = 1.47 Vt + V2 / 30(f ± g) (English) However, the perception-reaction times would be less; 0.5-1 seconds would be representative values for emergency conditions. A perception-reaction time of 0.5 seconds is about the fastest that a normal driver can react, so a more typical value of 1 second is selected, recognising a slightly longer time to perceive the emergency. The frictional resistance for wet and dry conditions are both evaluated, using the design coefficients of friction for wet pavements, and a typical dry pavement coefficient of about 0.6, in Table 2 discussed later. Stopping and in The stopping sight distance must also be considered setting the Decision Sight required sight distance at intersections. Stopping sight distance Distance must be provided at each intersection with a height of eye of 1070 mm (3.5 ft) and a height of object of 150 mm (6"), as discussed in Discussion Paper No.8.A. Due to the complexity of operations and conditions, decision sight distance must be provided at many intersections. The "decision sight distance to a stop condition" is always equal or greater than the stopping sight distance, so it is a logical minimum criteria for sight distance at intersections. However, at times the decision time for urban areas may be excessive because the driver is only required torecognize that the vehicle is stopping, entering or exiting from the roadway. Background and roadside information do not play a role at these times so times of 4 to 6 seconds may be acceptable. 37 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE OTHER INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE MEASURES (Continued) Critical Gaps, Chapter 10 of the H ighway Capacity Manual uses a defined critical Highway Capacity gap to determine the capacity, or level of service, for various Manual movements into anunsignalized intersection. This is the gap that drivers are as likely to accept as reject. This critical gap by implication is the acceptable time headway, or distance to an on- coming vehicle for a driver to enter the roadway comfortably. The critical gaps range from 5.5 to 7.5 seconds as shown in Table 1. Research has shown that critical gaps are decreased as volume on the major facility increase, as the time a vehicle waits to enter increases, and at intersections where CTWLTL is present. The critical gap provides an operational definition of required sight distance. Table 1. Critical Gaps tg for Two-Way Stop Controlled Intersections (Source: 1994 Highway Capacity Manual) Critical Gap tg Vehicle Maneuver Two -Lane Major Road Four-Lane Major Road (sec.) (sec.) Left turn, major street 5.00 5.50 Right turn, minor street 5.50 5.50 Through traffic, minor street 6.00 6.50 Left turn, minor street 6.50 7.00 38 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE OTHER INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE MEASURES (Continued) Human Factors The long intersection sight distance values for high speeds and Limits on trucks approach the limits of driver's ability to perceive objects and Intersection discern operating conditions.Junward and Pushkarev indicate that Sight Distance a driver cannot perceive movement beyond 245 m (800 f or t), detect detail further than 430 m (1400 ft) because the vehicle appears so small at those distances.(2) A car at 610 m (2000 ft) is the size of a pinhead at 460 mm (18 in).

Press, 1963. 39 This page intentionally left blank. 40 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE DISCUSSION OF INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA AASHTO The sight distance requirements at intersections as required by Intersection Sight AASHTO provides a comfortable operation and safe design. Distance Criteria The relative severity, or safety, of the various cases should be reviewed to determine the reasonability of the various requirements. Most sight distance requirements, other than for intersections, are based on the limiting conditions to provide a minimum acceptable design for safety. Others, in particular, the left-turning intersection sight distance with the vehicle approaching from the right, Case IIIBR, and the sight distance for a right turning vehicle with a vehicle approaching from the left, Case IIIC, are based on a comfortable or desirable condition. For both of these latter cases, the vehicle on the major facility is expected to decelerate to 85% of design speed, which is often nearly equal to the 85th percentile speed for the roadway and typically greater than the mean speed. This is a desirable, or comfortable condition. Where these sight distance cannot be achieved easily or at low cost, these two cases should not be viewed as desirable, not a minimum or limiting condition. The various sight distance requirements and criteria are shown in Table 2. The AASHTO intersection sight distance requirements cover a broad range of sight distances. For example, at 100 kph (60 mph), the range is doubled from 175 to 350 m (574 - 1,150 ft). Case IIIA crossing and Case IIIB left turning, respectively. The L Case IIIA crossing requirements provides adequate clearance for the crossing vehicle, a potential right angle collision, however, no slowing of the major street vehicle is assumed. Case IIIB, for left turns with the vehicle approaching from the left is slightly longer than the crossing case, by 6 to 11 m (20 - 35 ft), and again no slowing of the major street vehicle is assumed. 41 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE DISCUSSION OF INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) AASHTO Intersection Sight Distance Criteria (Continued) TABLE 2: Comparison of Sight Distances at Intersections 42 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE DISCUSSION OF INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) AASHTO The crossing sight distance, Case IIIA provides for greater sight Intersection Sight distance than for minimum stopping sight distance for all speeds. Distance Criteria However, it only provides for sight distances greater than desirable (Continued) stopping sight distance is a more appropriate limit for Oregon, since it recognises the changes in condition complexity and expectations in urban and rural conditions. The decision sight distance for the urban/suburban and rural areas for speed, path or direction change would be appropriate for many conditions on multi-lane roadways. These values are shown in Table 3. Highway Capacity The larger critical gap, according to the Highway Capacity Manual, Manual for left turn vehicles at stop controlled intersections yields travel distances that are essentially identical to the crossing sight distance requirements. This condition is typical of the gap that is as likely for a driver to accept as reject in entering the roadway from a stop sign. CALTRANS The CALTRANS 7-1/2 second corner rule yields sight distances 7-1/2 Second that are greater than all other sight distance requirements, Corner Rule R, regardless of design speed, except for the left turn Case IIIB the right turn Case IIIC and desirable stopping sight distance at speeds over 105 kph (65 mph). The effectiveness of the 7-1/2 second corner rule as an intersection sight distance criterion can be seen in Table 4 with a comparison of the travel times, at speed, corresponding to the various sight distance requirements for speeds from 50 to 100 kph (30 to 60 mph). The 7-1/2 second corner accommodates all of the sight distance conditions that are limiting R, for safety. The left turning case, Case IIIB is based on comfortable level of operation as discussed previously. 43 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE DISCUSSION OF INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Table 3: Decision Sight Distance 44 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE DISCUSSION OF INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Michigan The Michigan 8 second gap criterion yields intersection sight 8 Second distance requirements that are nearly equal to those for AASHTO Gap Criteria for a left turning vehicle and a vehicle approaching from the left. Only the AASHTO left turn criteria with the vehicle coming from the right and the Michigan 8 second gap yield sight distances greater than the CALTRANS 7.5 second Corner rule. This criteria would serve well as a minimum criteria for intersection sight distance, since the AASHTO left turn criteria with vehicles coming from the right would provide desirable operating conditions, and significantly exceed minimum distances for safety. Comparison of A perspective on the various possible intersection sight distance Travel Times criteria is provided by reviewing the travel times or gaps required and Gaps by each. See Table 4. The Highway Capacity Manual critical gaps give a good measure of what normal operating conditions would require. The left turnmaneuver with vehicles coming from the right requires excessively long gaps in the traffic stream, unless trucks are likely to be turning at the intersection. Also, notice that the decision sight distance to a stop in urban areas gives gaps that are longer than the Case IIIB Left Turn. The decision time of 13 R seconds for 72 kph (45 mph), urban environment, is at the upper limit for driver to be able to perceive speed and operating characteristics of an on-coming vehicle. Under most conditions, the 7-1/2 or 8 second gap criteria are adequate. With trucks or urban areas, the need to provide decision time will require much longer distances. 45 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE DISCUSSION OF INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Comparison of Travel Times and Gaps (Continued) Table 4: Comparison of Travel Times, or Gaps, for Various Sight Distance Requirements 46 Discussion Paper No. 8.B INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE DISCUSSION OF INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE CRITERIA (Continued) Proposed New A new criteria for intersection sight distance was proposed at the Criteria for 1997 Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board.

Today we went on the Jomon Sugi trail which took us 7h10mins to complete. It was relatively flat so a pleasant walk. It is a very famous hike as the area is home to the largest cedar tree in the world and possibly the oldest one as well (estimation go from 2000 to 7000 years old). ...

Dublin Bay ??
barbaranh(z4 NH)November 8, 2007
New to this forum but it seems the right place to ask my question..
Does anyone have experience with the climbing rose Dublin Bay? I'm specifically interested in knowing two things: (1) whether it is cane hardy in zone 4a/3b (can you leave the canes in place over the winter?); and (2) whether the canes are flexible enough to train horizontally along a rail fence.
Thanks for whatever info you might be able to share!

Carolyn Hax: Gay affair causes split, but what to do now?
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn: My spouse told me earlier this week that he/she wants a divorce. I had a gay affair. I was pushing for us to work past this. We both love each other, but I guess emotional love isn't enough.
The thing is — I don't even know where to start. I can't tell my family. I don't want to come out. I feel like a failure. No one in my family is divorced.
We have no kids and agreed to split everything 50/50, so this will be painful but not spiteful. Is there a step-by-step guide to this? Where do I live? What do I tell people? How do I navigate?
Divorcing• "I can't tell my family": Yes, you can. Your current agony began with this truth: You are one person trying to live as another. Until you resolve this fundamental dissonance, you will always struggle to navigate. "Where to start" is accepting who you are, then deciding how you want to live. If you choose again to be one thing but live as another — which I certainly don't advise — then let this experience with your spouse teach you at least to be honest with any co-stars in your act.
• "I don't want to come out": See above.
• "I feel like a failure": You are not a failure; your marriage has failed. Big difference. Please resist the urge to see cosmic meaning in earthly things. When it all feels overwhelming, take each piece and deal with it as pragmatically as you can. (1) Find a place to live; (2) Schedule the move; (3) Notify people on a need-to-know basis. Etc.
• "No one in my family is divorced": Hey, somebody had to be first! Flippant, yes, but you know what? You go with it. It'll keep you from going nuts.
• "Is there a step-by-step guide to this?": There's a step-by-step guide to everything. Google away.
But you seem to be more in need of a safe place to sort out your feelings. A good, reputable therapist is an investment in your future. Try PFLAG, too, for coming-out support (http://bit.ly/1or9y4s).• "Where do I live?": If the choice overwhelms you, find something short-term while you regroup.
• "What do I tell people?": "Spouse and I are separating. I'd rather not get into details now, thanks."
• "How do I navigate?": With confidence that you will be OK. Such seismic shifts are scary but also necessary and, for that reason, ultimately to your benefit. Hang in there.
Re: Divorcing: I was the "first" in my family to get divorced, when a seemingly picture-perfect marriage fell apart. I didn't have the gay affair complication, but I felt all the things you feel. I was pleasantly surprised at the support I got from my (fairly conservative) family. My friends were a bedrock. But I never could have made it through without my amazing therapist.
It's an overused phrase now, but it does get better. I am happy and healthy today in a way that I didn't think possible in the awful first moments you find yourself in right now.
Thank you. I'll defend "it gets better," though. Heavy use makes it easy to remember, and therefore a lifeline. Remember how it started (www.itgetsbetter.org … and hi, Dan).
