This quotation is from Goodall, S., et al., reference 92. In the opinion of the author of this volume (RR), inadequate highways and interrupted power supplies can be found in other places as well, such as California.

E/E/PE (electrical/electronic/programmable electronic systems) refers to any system containing one or more of those elements. This is taken to include any input sensors, actuators, power supplies, and communications highways. Provided that one part of the safety-related system contains one or more of these elements, the Standard is said to apply to the whole. 

System for control, protection or monitoring based on one or more electrical/electronic programmable electronic (E/E/PE) devices, including all elements of the system such as power supplies, sensors and other input devices, data highways and other commimication paths, and actuators and other output devices. 

C. The water is cooled down by 2.3 °C, and a heat pump supplies 1.9 MWt heating power to buildings of the highway service centre in Airolo (canton Ticino). This is the oldest installation, in operation since 1979. By technical upgrade (and especially with a larger cooling A7"), the system could be improved to provide 4.0 MWt. 

Autonomous supply batteries are usually used when no other source of electricity is available. They are specifically developed to perfectly supply the required cycling profiles. The most apt example is the application of solar power at stand-alone sites, supplying electricity requirements in places far from electrical networks (chalets, mountain shelters, telecommunications outposts, highway information panels, weather stations, etc.). 

A nation s quality of life is heavily dependent on its infrastmcture which includes, but is not limited to, its water supply and wastewater systems, transportation systems (e.g., highways, bridges, tunnels, railroads, airports, ports), stormwater management and flood control systems, communication systems, power generation and distribution systems, and other structures, facilities, and systems supportive of daily life. The infrastructure is built and maintained by the constmction industry. Annual U.S. constmction is on the order of a trillion (1,000 billion) dollars making it the largest product-based, contrasted with service-based, industry in the country (Halpin 2006).
