• W211182959 abstract "Introduction This activity is certainly multi-dimensional and likely to cause some interesting reactions among students. It deals with a transportation system, and changing it, so a certain class of vehicle is literally removed from the roadways. Large tractor-trailers have a reputation of being involved in rather horrific accidents, often involving death and carnage among smaller passenger vehicles. The giant rigs, according to some transportation experts, may have outlived their usefulness on crowded highways, and perhaps it is time we rethink their presence on the America roadways. The Challenge The job of your students is to create unique new ways to move the goods that are now moved via automotive tractor-trailers. And in this endeavor, the students may not develop ideas where conventional tractor-trailer containerized trailers are delivered in any way over the existing highway system. This cargo cannot be simply loaded onto another class of highway vehicle. They may not add more containerized cargo to the railroads either. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] They must develop a completely new way to move truck cargo. They are free to pursue any other alternatives they wish. This challenge is completely open-ended, with just the constraints mentioned above. Getting Started In developing their ideas, students should be mindful of how their new routes for transporting large amounts of goods may affect: * Environment * Air quality * Land use * Communities * Cost to the consumer and businesses * Human safety * Existing infrastructures like bridges, pipelines, power lines ... etc. Students should be encouraged to work in teams on this design challenge and develop a variety of alternative ways to move the goods, and then choose the one(s) that seem to best minimize impact on the parameters listed above. It would be most helpful for students to consider the use of aerial maps, plot plans, and perhaps even GPS-type maps to plan out alternate ways to move the goods to customer locations. How do they know where the goods need to be delivered? How can they identify other land routes for this cargo? Does it have to be limited to land routes? What other kinds of routes and rights-of-way already exist that may be built upon or used to deliver cargo and get it off the highways? The students might find it helpful, if time permits, to research this issue or to discuss the problem with highway planners, local city planners, businesses, and storeowners. Perhaps they should be surveyed to obtain some of their ideas and thoughts. It might be possible to consider a whole new type of infrastructure that is dedicated to moving goods and services to densely populated areas directly without the need for roadways, conventional railroads, and large trucks. …" @default.
