International Freight - The Infrastructure in Denmark

The economy in Denmark is largely dependent on imported raw materials and foreign trade. However, it is a net exporter of energy and food, so the international freight market is highly developed in Denmark.


Denmark's main exports are instruments, industrial machinery and food products. The United States of America is Denmark's largest trading partner outside Europe, with freight forwarding highly streamlined between Denmark and the United States, as well as all European countries.

The standard of living in Denmark is amongst the highest in the world and the economy is essentially strong, with growth averaging nearly 3% every year since the mid 90s.  Denmark is also renowned for having one of the world's very best transport systems, which makes it something of a global blueprint for efficient freight services.

This is illustrated by the fact that in 2000, Copenhagen Airport was named the world's best airport by the International Air Transport Organisation. In fact, 2000 was a high point in terms of the Danish freight transport infrastructure as it was also the year that the 8 kilometre Oresund Bridge, linking Denmark and Sweden was completed.

In January 2008, the Danish Infrastructure Commission published a plan called‘The Danish Infrastructure 2030' setting out how the country will continue to improve its transport infrastructure, to build further on its already strong position and meet the challenges of the future. This will be positive for the efficiency of freight services to and from the country.
The main aim of the plan is to address issues of increased congestion on the road and rail networks, as traffic levels have been growing over the last decade and are expected to continue to grow. Unless addressed, this would put increasing pressure on freight forwarding  solutions and create logistical dilemmas for shipping companies.

On the national road network, the shipping company faces the greatest congestion problems in the Copenhagen area and in Eastern Jutland, in
particular the Triangle Region, Kolding-Vejle Fredericia.


On the rail network, as it is already at capacity on certain lines, there is limited potential to add extra services, without further development. This is a constraint on the potential for efficient international freight. The Danish Infrastructure Commission predicts that traffic on the national road network will increase by 70% by 2030, creating big congestion problems on the motorway network and feeder routes.

For the recent past, the freight transport infrastructure in Denmark has been based on ‘The Big H'. This is the major road and railway network that connects Denmark from east to west and from north to south. In addition, The Big H provides excellent links to neighbouring countries that are essential to trade and, as a result, to the freight company.

Although the Big H remains as the basis of the infrastructure plan for the future, it is planned to expand capacity in corridors where additional traffic is expected.

This will include a number of ring connections around Copenhagen, efficient secondary links from the main regions to The Big H, and a focus on gateways to the rest of the world, safeguarding a bright future for international freight and freight forwarding in Denmark.

Moreover, the importance the country places on its transport infrastructure and the quality of its future infrastructure planning means that Denmark is a vital blueprint for the freight services industry worldwide.


Stephen Willis is Managing Director of  RW Freight Services  a UK based freight transport company, established in 1971 and operating worldwide freight forwarding services including specialist freight services to and from  Denmark

The good news is that customization or integrating the latest technology in women’s bicycles is quite easy and the parts are readily available. Off hand, the highest you will probably spend to customize women’s bicycles will at around three hundred dollars – and that already contains more than the usual amount of bells and whistles most women will probably need. In the name of customization of women’s bicycles for your average Jane, the area which you ought to concentrate on would be the area of comfort especially in city biking.


Prep Up That Seat

One area would have to do with making that seat a better cushion for one’s tushy, so to speak.

Memory foam is usually encased in a soft leather outer material which does not absorb sweat and is easy to clean.  You might want to get this for the women’s bicycle of your lady friend.

Tire Tricks to Think About

If your girl will be slugging it out in the city while riding her women’s bicycle, one area of concern would be biking over uneven or even messy roads – quite possible riddled with concrete or gravel pieces.

These tires have better traction without adding additional weight. Users of women’s bicycles will love how it can take you from the park to the roads to the mountainside all on its own.

And finally, why not add a bit of night time safety to this by installing not just reflective lights but solar powered lighting fixtures? These are small plastic squares that charge themselves during day time then can illuminate the women’s bicycles in different areas at night. These provide lighting better compared to reflectors, which will require other light sources to hit the stickers for it to glow. The solar powered lighting fixtures will have just enough lighting time to last the entire night if it is the intention of the rider of women’s bicycles to bike the entire night.

As you can see, there are many areas where the latest technology will really fit in with women’s bicycles. All the areas have to do with safety and comfort, which are the two primary considerations of women riders.

Non-Lethal Weapons - Police Technology Targets Enhanced Safety

In movies like "Bad Boys" and "Lethal Weapon", renegade cops commonly race through the streets firing off round after round in hot pursuit of the bad guys - usually while simultaneously tossing off one-liners and demolishing everything in their paths. In real life, such actions often have more grim and serious consequences. Fortunately, non-lethal technologies are emerging to make apprehending suspects easier, and less dangerous for all involved.



One example is the StarChase system, an invention designed to take some of the peril out of high-speed pursuits. In the more than 100,000 chases that take place in the U.S. every year, risk levels are extremely high - for officers, suspects, drivers and pedestrians. StarChase technology helps to diminish such risks by replacing the need for a chase with a safer way to catch suspects. The system consists of a compressed-air launcher with laser targeting that mounts inside the grille of a police car and shoots out a homing device (containing an internal GPS receiver, transmitter and power supply). The homing device sticks to any vehicle it hits, and sends its location to dispatch. From there, a dispatcher or other trained professional views the vehicle's real-time movements on a digital roadmap and develops a strategy to intercept it. The StarChase system also automatically records all data, creating a historical record of the event.

While the StarChase gives police the ability to opt out of a dangerous chase and still nab the suspect, another new technology in the works could have a similar benefit - but for officers on foot. The LED Incapacitator could help officers keep weapons in their holsters. Developed in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security, among others, the LED Incapacitator comes from Intelligent Optical Systems Inc. (IOS) - a creator of cutting-edge technologies in optical sensing and instrumentation. Similar in appearance to a flashlight, an officer shines the device in a suspect's eyes. Using extremely bright, strobe sequences of light in different colors, the invention flashes in a pre-defined pattern that the human brain cannot immediately adjust to. This creates a "wall of light" that blinds and dizzies the suspect and fogs the officer's location - giving the law enforcement agent a brief window of time to subdue the suspect. Despite its power, the LED Incapacitator does not have a high enough intensity to actually harm a suspect's eyes.



Both the StarChase and the LED Incapacitator are garnering interest from law enforcement as the movement toward non-lethal technologies continues to gain momentum. The StarChaser is currently available for police departments to purchase from representatives throughout the United States, while the LED Incapacitator is still in development with IOS. Unfortunately, while both inventions could potentially help make real-world streets safer in the near future, they'll probably do nothing to stop those loveable movie cops from obliterating entire city blocks and mindlessly unloading their weapons on suspected perps.

The Story of Time

The universe in a year!

                           


















Image via Wikipedia


                             The American astronomer Carl Sagan(1934-1996) first suggested a "cosmic calender" as a way of  helping  people understand the history off the Universe.He put everything into the scale of a calender year:The galaxies are formed over nine months and the earth appears in September.


                    All human history is crowded into the last day of the year. Recent time has to be divided into seconds and fractions of the second. So everything that happened over the last 475 years takes place in less than the last second of the last inute of the year.


  The World in a single day:
                                       
                      In one day (24 or 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds) the world turns once on it's axis.During that time,on average:

• 358,522  people are born
• 155,012  people die
• 203,510 are added to the world's population.
