TECHNICAL REPORT : INTRO DRAFT 1 - Proposal for the Integration of the Speed Limiter with the New On-Board Unit (OBU)

  1. Background  In recent years, the frequency of speed-related accidents in Singapore has increased. According to Channelnewsasia (2021), speeding is Singapore's most committed traffic offence. Despite the installations of speed cameras, speed traps and the speed limits of 40km/h in School Zones and Silver Zones, 80km/h to 90km/h on most expressways, and 50km/h in most country areas unless stated otherwise, errant drivers are still negligent on the road as they refuse to adhere to the limits imposed (LTA, 2021). A recent case to illustrate how fatal speeding-related accidents can be is the Tanjong Pagar incident on 13 February 2021. The driver drove at an approximate speed of 200km/h on the narrow roads of Tanjong Pagar, which had a speed limit of 40km/h. The accident was a confluence of many factors, but an apparent cause was the nature of the road, which was not suitable for driving at such high speeds. The driver's negligence led to the death of 5 people, including himsel...

SUMMARY DRAFT 1 : ENGIE’s district heating and cooling system

  The article "District heating and cooling systems" illustrates how ENGIE establishes itself as a leading international provider for sustainable heating and cooling systems while meeting the continual comfort necessities of its diverse pool of consumers. The article further demonstrates the backbone of ENGIE's operations relative to the versatile heating and cooling methodology involving numerous technologies applied worldwide. As a result, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and energy bills have decreased. Following this, ENGIE states that it utilizes renewable and recyclable energy to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of heating and cooling. The biomass used for heating and recycled water by the Seine river for cooling in Paris would be a case in point. Another case would be the first city-scale centralized thermal energy distribution network in Lisbon, which serves many buildings while continuously reducing CO2 emissions. Thus, the general overview of the...

Subject: Self Introduction Dear Professor Brad, My name is Mu'izzuddin, and this is an introductory letter that will allow you to get to know me better. I am a year one student from class T5 of your communication module, pursuing a degree in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering. In 2018, I attained a diploma in Electrical Engineering with a Minor in Business Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. In my final semester, I interned at Poh Meng Engineering and had the opportunity to perform the role of a Quantity Surveyor. I followed my supervisor to various construction sites to analyze potential drawbacks in installing electrical components for different buildings. This job scope required me to refine my networking skills as I constantly interacted with engineers from the various echelons. This skill further benefitted me when I served my country as a soldier and instructor in the Artillery formation. I honed my interpersonal skills, which became my strength as I constantly in...
