PASIG RIVER’S NEWS DEATH SENTENCE Parex or also known as Pasig River As of now The latest update was in Expressway is a infrastructure project November 18, 2021 under Duterte he urged proposed by San Miguel Corporation that’s to withhold approval of PAREX construction been approved by the government and costs since the project details are known and a 95.4 billion pesos with an average size of “normal due diligence is conducted” on it. 19.365 km 6 lanes all elevated expressway which transverses the entirety of Pasig River. Parex is a planned access road in manila that will run alongside the Pasig river and relate the urban areas of Manila, Mandaluyong, Makati, Pasig, Taguig and Taytay. However the concerned citizens, tax payers, and environment warriors criticized the decision of the government, as according to them the harmful effects outweigh the projected benefits of the projects and titled it as the Pasig River’s death sentence. To conclude, according to an urban planner Paulo Alcazaren—who is also behind the layout of the world-renowned Iloilo River, he said that the government should build less new roads and focus more on public transport systems. He argued that \"building more roads will not ease traffic unless we refocus our infrastructure building to public transport and non-motorized pedestrian rides.\" Alcazaren explained that the \"concept of induced demand states that the more roads you build, the more traffic it will bring.\"

SENATOR GRACE POE SUPPORTS PRIVATIZATION OF MRT-3 NEWS Sen. Grace Poe supports the proposal, citing Japan's sophisticated train network, which is run by either the government or private companies and is world-renowned for its efficiency. Poe also mentioned that the LRT line is privately run and more efficient than the MRT. \"I support the privatization of MRT operations. As we've seen in the past, political interventions have exacerbated the MRT's problems and inefficiencies,\" Poe said. In line with this, Sen. Poe also called for a transparent privatization process that is free of political influence. \"The concession should be transparent and thoroughly scrutinized,\" she stated. \"Fairly awarded through competitive bidding to a competent and financially viable company with a proven track record of providing efficient service and knowledge in train and public transportation operations.\" The Department of Transportation pledged on Tuesday to be transparent in the planned privatization of the MRT-3, stating that it will consult with various stakeholders.

LOOK BACK; Early history records indicate that almost all facets of transportation CEizing civil engineering began at or Moments shortly after the beginning of the establishment of the department in 1867. As they are known as the nation builders it is important for them to value our history since it gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present- thus creating a crucial perspective for understanding and solving current, past, and future problems. Engineers as problem solvers, indeed! The field of transportation engineering deals with the transportation of goods, people, and services via a variety of modes,

including roads, railways, waterways, and airways. Working knowledge is required to initiate preliminary and final proposals to influence such mode schemes. For complete engineering design and construction of transportation systems, transportation engineering provides data analyses. In point of fact, it is also referred to as the science of designing, planning, maintaining, and operating roads for road traffic. It is both a significant component of mechanical engineering and a subfield of civil engineering. The development of society has always relied on transportation, initially in the form of trade routes and harbors and more recently in the form of land- and air-based systems. It is the transportation specialist's commitment to technique, plan, develop, run and and maintain. In addition to having protect these frameworks of an understanding of their jobs' transportation, in such a strategy financial, political, and social about offering the protected, free facets, transportation engineers also and viable movement of items and have an understanding of people. technology. Environmental concerns have LOOK BACK; actually rekindled interest in mass CEizing transit system development and management. The design and operation of highways, public transportation, and airports on a national and local scale can all fall under the category of professional activities. Engineers in transportation are involved in ensuring that goods and people move safely and effectively. Streets and highways, public transportation systems, railways, harbors, ports, and airfields are just a few examples of the various transportation centers they design

FUNFACTS FIRST OIL PIPELINES Oil pipelines have been around since the 1860s: wagons and flat boats were the most common ways of transporting barrels of the stuff at the time, but the industry needed something better. The first oil pipeline is widely believed to have been built in 1862 at the Phillips No. 2 well in Oil Creek Valley, Pa., out of two wooden boards joined together to form a \"V\" shape. It used gravity to transport oil about 1,000 feet. THE HISTORY OF ROAD SALT Road salt made its first appearance in the United States in 1938, when New Hampshire began experimenting with granular sodium chloride to keep streets and sidewalks clear and prevent slick driving conditions. In 1941-42, the state government of New Hampshire was the first to use salt on the roads, and the practice spread as the interstate highway system expanded.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM A collision avoidance system, also known as a driver assistance system, is a safety system that is designed to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision in the few seconds before it occurs. To detect an impending collision, some systems use AI machine vision technology, while others use dash cam images and GPS location information. When a collision is detected, these systems can warn the driver via sound or light to help avoid the collision. AIMES (AUSTRALIAN INTEGRATED MULTIMODAL ECOSYSTEM) AIMES is a world-first living laboratory based on Melbourne's streets, created to test highly integrated transportation technology with the goal of delivering safer, cleaner, and more sustainable urban transportation outcomes. A network of smart sensors working to capture commuter, vehicle, and public transportation movements in order to avoid dangerous activity, improve sustainability, safety, and reduce congestion has made an intersection in Melbourne's inner-city the most intelligent in the world.
