Wireless technologies could help cities enhance their parking revenue. Streetline Inc.’s City Infrastructure Technologies system provides real-time information on regulated parking. It includes meter monitors which add two-way networking to standard single-space parking meters, providing real-time auditing and problem alerts. Using Dust Networks’ Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol network also lets city managers understand whether cars are in place when they’re planning street cleaning or snow removal. Systems can also be used in parking garages to help operators find open spaces, using metal sensors tied to network transceivers. Dust Networks uses system on chip (SOC) to keep the size of modules down so they fit on existing parking meters.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
