Infrastructure Management: PEDD Pavement Evaluation Technology for Roads and Airports
PEDD Pavement Evaluation Software for Roads and Airports: Timely infrastructure maintenance management requires nondestructive evaluation (NDE) for structural integrity assessment. This is explained in the following video interview of Dr. Waheed Uddin for road pavement assets (video credit: Omar Uddin, UVision).
Sumatra faces yet another risk: Major volcanic eruptions
The early April earthquake of magnitude 8.6 that shook Sumatra (Indonesia) was a grim reminder of the devastating earthquakes and tsunami that killed tens of thousands of people in 2004 and 2005. Now a new study shows that the residents of that region are at risk from yet another potentially deadly natural phenomenon -- major volcanic eruptions.

Scientists Debate Extreme Weather Events & GHG Emissions….Urban Planners and Transportation Engineers Must Implement Innovative Sustainable Transportation & Landuse Policies
Scientists Debate Extreme Weather Events and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions. However, Urban Planners and Transportation Engineers Must Implement Innovative Sustainable Transportation and Landuse Policies Solutions to Address the Mobility Needs in Cities: Cities provide good opportunity for jobs and better life for growing population. Cities are also major contributors to GHG and other harmful emissions which must be reduced to sustain quality of life for all. Continue reading Scientists Debate Extreme Weather Events & GHG Emissions….Urban Planners and Transportation Engineers Must Implement Innovative Sustainable Transportation & Landuse Policies
