Along with electronic flight books (EFBs), off-the-shelf satellite receivers have made private and recreational aviation safer and more efficient than ever; and the name most commonly associated with these advanced technologies is Garmin.

Traffic Controllers: Ensure an Efficient Management of Traffic around the Worksite

The first operational traffic lights in Australia were switched on October 13th1933 in Sydney, between the intersection of Kent and Market Street. Though few motorised vehicles existed at the time, traffic lights soon sprang up in other major capital cities throughout the country. Today, with millions of vehicles on our roads, there are thousands of locations where traffic lights safely regulate the huge volumes of traffic flow. Most systems are now automated, and states have installed integrated networks ensuring pedestrians and motorists get to their destinations quickly and safely.

Lithium-Ion Batteries Explained: Our Tips for Making Them Last Longer
