Traffic Control Super Script 4.1
(Default branch) 03/31/2005 07:22 AM
Traffic Control Super Script implements traffic shaping for IP traffic passing through a NAT/bridge box with a single configuration file with one line per host. It can manage bandwidth to user-specified speeds based on the u32 classifier, and can identify traffic by source, destination, source and destination port, protocol, and ToS field. It then limits the rate of connection in either a single or a bidirectional fashion.

Adaptive Cruise Control May Solve
Traffic Jams

Adaptive Cruise Control May Solve
Traffic Jams 07/30/2004 03:51 PM
More and more luxury cars these days are coming with adaptive cruise control -- which is mainly considered a safety feature. The idea is that if you're getting too close to the car in front of you, your car automatically begins to slow down, avoiding the possibility of an accident. However, one of the nice "unintended benefits" of such systems is they may create much more efficient traffic flow. Apparently, if just 20% of the cars on the road had such systems on a normal highway, most traffic jams would simply go away. The article goes into details on how this works, but the basic summary is that most drivers are either idiots or err on the side of caution by braking too hard when someone in front of them brakes, leading to a chain reaction that causes the slow down. With a computer braking more appropriately, the chain reaction has a much smaller impact, allowing traffic flow to continue smoothly. Yet another situation where a technology designed for one purpose, actually has a very useful alternative benefit.

Wi-Fi Use on UK Trains Popular

Wi-Fi Use on UK Trains Popular 09/21/2004 12:42 PM
Wi-Fi service on UK trains is seeing solid growth in usage: Use of the service is growing 77 percent week over week, but that figure is a bit misleading because the number of trains offering Wi-Fi is also increasing. However, users are also spending an increasing amount of time on the network and there seems to be an indication that passengers are deciding to buy first class tickets because the Wi-Fi access there is free. In other commuter Wi-Fi news, Sydney, Australia is considering offering Wi-Fi on Sydney ferries....

Trains vs. Airplanes

Trains vs. Airplanes 12/04/2003 01:29 AM
Tra ins vs. Airplanes. Amtrak has reported record ridership levels for the Thanksgiving season. But the success of the rails is indebted to post 9/11 air-travel anxiety. Maybe, it would be better for travelers to stop fearing hijackings and resume flying planes instead of riding intercity trains out of fear. On the other hand, it could be a good thing that rail travel is getting a second look after years of decline.

More Wi-Fi on European Trains

More Wi-Fi on European Trains 02/10/2004 02:40 AM
Eurostar, the train operator, will start testing Wi-Fi access on its cross-channel services this year: But service won't be available while in the tunnel under the English Channel. Another train operator, GNER, has been experimenting with Wi-Fi on its trains. It achieves coverage in tunnels by stringing together cell phone antennas to maintain the connection, which otherwise is backhauled via satellite. Apparently train operators are hoping that Wi-Fi services will draw customers back away from short-haul airlines....

BT OpenZone is building Wi-Fi on 13 more railway stations: Virgin also covers a few stations. One route between London and Scotland offers access onboard as part of a trial. In addition, Broadreach and PointShot are building the backbone for a Wi-Fi network that can be offered to the rail network operators. They will use the platform to manage the onboard Wi-Fi access....

Japan's maglev train sets record: CNN had a story on Headline News about maglev trains and it got the geek in me all excited. They mentioned this one.

The experimental three-car maglev was carrying passengers when it set the world's top speed for a train, clocking at 581 kph (361 mph)...

Now, here's the deal: 600 m.p.h. in a plane is not really a problem, because there's nothing to run into in the air (I know, I know — other planes, buildings, the ground...don't get smart). But 361 m.p.h. on train tracks? On the ground? Where there are things like cars, and cows, and school buses full of little children that could end up on the tracks? That 361 m.p.h. would seem so much faster if you ran into something.

It happened in 1998 in Germany. One hundred twenty people died when abullet train derailed and hit an overpass. And it was only travelling at 175 mp.h.

I don't want to be alarmist or anything, but that kind of speed, that close to stuff that's as unforgiving as an overpass just makes me a little nervous. And it's only a matter of time before Jon Voight and Tom Cruise get into a fight on top of one of them, and then what happens?

Survey says that most business travelers would opt for a train over a car or plane ride if Wi-Fi were available: Fifty percent of existing business train travelers already carry a laptop, the survey found, and most already work during train trips making calls or handling electronic files. Users would pay up to £12 (about US$20) for longer trips....
