Use the metaphor of passenger movement, or flow in a busy railway station, to illustrate flux control in a metabolic pathway. 

Australian Road Rrtle 299 prohibits TV screerrs arrd ddeo display rrrrits from being seen by drivers while the vehicle is in motiorr, or stationary but not parked - and the device must not distract other drivers who are nearby. Australian Design Rule 42 (Section 18) states that all visual display rrrrits must not obscure the driver s vision, or impede driver or passenger movement in the vehicle and must not increase the risk of occupant injmy. This rule also states that, utrless a driver s aid, no part of the image on the display shortld be visible to the driver from the normal driving position. 

To summarize, the time needed to cross the border, that is, the border transfer velocity, depends on both the individual mobility on foot (diffusivity) and the quality of the roads (viscosity). Or stated differently the distance from the border where the passengers leave the taxi since the speed of the cars (water movement) drops below the speed of the individual pedestrian (molecular transport), depends on the relative size of pedestrian mobility and car mobility. Transfer velocities are large for fast runners and permeable road systems and small for physically handicapped passengers and narrow streets. 

Transportation equipment manufacturers produce vehicles for movement of passengers and cargo by land, air, and water. Important products include motor vehicles, aircraft, guided missiles and space vehicles, ships, boats, and railroad equipment. 

Another area of community impact is the movement of toxic chemicals through areas of human population. Access to toxic and dangerous chemicals poses a threat under normal circumstances and a heightened threat under conditions of terrorism alert. In the District of Columbia passenger trains and freight trains share the same tracks and the presence of graffiti on rail tankers proves how accessible they are to human intervention. Responsible companies are increasing their... 

For this train, the initial movement is all in one direction. Eventually, the number of passengers on the train will not be changing much because the number getting off the train will be about equal to the number getting on. 

From June 1940, Germany commenced preparations for the invasion of Britain, for which an immense fleet of support and supply ships was assembled in the ports along the Channel and North Sea coastlines. The express passenger liners Bremen and Europa were among the vessels taken over for Operation Sealion. They were earmarked for a special troop movement exercise which involved delivering upwards of 10,000 crack... 

In physical markets, geographical distance and political boundaries hinder the free movement of goods and people. Similarly, closed proprietary networks separate virtual markets artificially by establishing barriers to interoperability. This is equivalent to having a railway system with different track widths so that several sets of identical rail cars must be maintained and passengers must be transferred at all exchange points. 

Elevators. For convenience of operators and visitors, a passenger elevator operates between the basement and control room levels with outlets on all floors. A 10 ton hydraulically operated freight elevator operates between the first floor and basement, and has an intermediate stop at the Reactor Building wing basement level. This freight elevator provides for the normal movement of supplies and equipment between floors. The elevator has a lO-- by 14-ft platform it. is capable of handling a 70ff0-lb-capacity electric forklift truck with.a fully loaded.skid on the. forks.. 

From the database analysis, it can be derived that only the 32% of all the derailments happened along the line (all the others happen in station or during shunting movement), so the abovementioned rate (both for passengers train and for freight train) should be multiplied by ki = 0, 32. Another corrective parameter derives (k2) from the consideration that for the present study only relevant accidents (number of severe injured persons > 10 or number of minor injured persons > 100) have been taken into account. From the analysis of the accident database it can be derived that only the 3,24% of derailments can be classified as relevant (k2 = 0,0324). 

Intrastate commerce means any trade, traffic, or transportation in any state which is not described in the term interstate commerce. To qualify as intrastate commerce the driver and vehicle cannot cross a state line, AND the cargo (or passengers) cannot cross a state line during its movement. This determination is based on the intent of the shipper. If when the company took possession of the cargo, the shipper intended it to cross state lines it is an interstate shipment and the company, vehicle, and driver would all be subject to the FMCSRs. 

Human simulations such as the RAMSIS (Computer Aided Anthropometric Mathematical System for Passenger Simulation) human model used in the automobile industry or simulation of human movement to simulate ergonomic cases [11]. 

Types of Floods. Damaging floods occur in varying locations. Flash floods are associated with quickly developing thunderstorms in mountainous areas. The rapid downslope movement of water, even if relatively shallow, can quickly move vehicles and their occupants to the extent that 50 percent of the flood deaths in the United States are caused by flash floods. If floodwater is flowing at a depth of only 2 feet, a trapped vehicle experiences a lateral force of 1,000 pounds and a buoyant force of 1,500 pounds, more than enough to flip the vehicle over and drown the passengers. 

Passengers should not be carried on a powered truck unless there is a properly fitted and suitable passenger seat. Provision should be made for passenger security during truck movement. 

Safety gear. All passenger lifts must be fitted with safety gear which will arrest and support a fully loaded car in the event of suspension rope failure. The safety gear linkages, attachments, ropes etc. should be carefully checked for security and freedom of movement at each examination. The safety gear must also be tested every four years. Control equipment and the overload protection devices. 

Over the years the builders of transatlantic ships found many of the safety features present on the Great Eastern to be onerous. For example, bulkheads running the height of the ship prevented the creation of large rooms, such as dance halls, and they also restricted the movements of waiters and passengers. So, gradually, year-by-year these safety measures were reduced. Had the bulkheads been taller in the Titanic, the sea water would not have flowed from one compartment to another and the ship would not have sunk.
