  The reflective backpack test

  The snow has melted at higher altitudes, and it is time to plan tours in the high mountains that in a few weeks we will begin to do. If we are going to the mountains for a long time are not enough classic three pockets on the back of the shirts, it needs more room for reflective clothing, tools, food and any protections for the descent on the most technical trail; and behold, a comfortable backpack with water bag is the most practical solution, although there are details not to be overlooked in the selection. Camelback, the California company a world leader in hydration systems, has provided us in a very interesting test backpack with reflective material that offers sophisticated solutions and great attention to detail. The Skyline 10LR is part of the collection of backpacks Low Rider dedicated to mountain biking created to maximize the stability and lower the center of gravity. The idea of ​​these backpacks born around the lumbar water bag, is which moves the weight of the liquid in the lower part of the back and on the sides, freeing the shoulders. The backpack is black / blue with minimal graphics and reflective fabric inserts on the helmet door. Bolzano eye long shoulder straps and the short backrest are immediately visible differences compared to a standard backpack. At first glance we can appreciate the quality of finishes, and the typical rational solutions Camelback, such as Velcro to attach the shoulder straps and the good support at the waist with side pockets, in order to adapt perfectly to the backpack own measurements.

  Robots wear safety vest in school

  In a new research project about robots with wear a reflective vest in school children should get acting teacher to a robot programmed as "the ideal student" - that is curious, inquisitive and want to know and understand everything. Those children learn well by teaching to others already known. Now University West to find out if the robot's learning behavior can "rub off" on the children. Robots have begun to make entry into the classroom, not to replace the teacher but as a tool or an assistant to the teacher. The most common is that the robot is used in engineering degrees where students program robots to learn programming craftsmanship.  The project START - Student Tutor and Robot Tutee - is instead about younger students in elementary school where the robot works as a learning buddy of children. The robot acts the children's friend and apprentice, and the child's job are to teach the robot a specific task, in this case playing a math game. The child learns the robot by demonstrating how to play, and the robot asks questions that are directly related to the child's behavior in the game. The aim is that children themselves get a better understanding of the mathematics of the game by acting teacher and try to teach the robot to play well. In addition, the robot acts as the "ideal Apprentice" and makes curious, reflective why-questions of mathematics that encourages children to think about their own knowledge and understanding. That's all the time the child who has the final say and decides what they come up with in its reasoning - The robot works that way as a model for how the "ideal student" behavior by being curious, reflect, on key concepts and phenomena, to explain himself, summarize and check regularly with their teacher, says Lena Pareto in reflective clothing, principal researcher at University West. Tediously research underlying the project is based on previous research in learning where the child instead can teach an educational computer agent, who really just a computer and displayed as a face image on the screen. - Already this form of learning buddy creates a positive impact on students' mathematical thinking and conceptual understanding, but a robot should have great potential to enhance these learning effects significantly, says Lena Pareto himself engaged in this type of research, among other things, to construct math game checkered family. The reasons for the positive effects, according to Lena that the robot has a physical form, can be programmed into a social, empathic behavior, and can speak and understand spoken language. - We will explore these benefits can be realized in a real classroom environment. The project aims to stimulate and support the child's learning; the robot is only a means to achieve it. The objective is achieved by designing an efficient robot apprentice and improves the learning experience by combining game based query and learning. The hope is that the robot also serves as a behavioral model so that children imitate the robot's behavior to the benefit of their learning in all future learning situations. This three-year project was recently awarded nearly 4 million from the Marcus and Amelia Wallenberg Memorial Fund. University safety vest, by Lena Pareto, is the project and carried out in collaboration with the University of Gothenburg.

  The new police uniform to be introduced is dark blue with yellow reflective tape and includes a polo shirt and a cap. Minister, after agreement with force management and unions, opted for a new operational uniform with more functionality, appearance and comfort. There is also a smooth and comfortable safety vest on. The first new agents from April next year is to see the new uniform. Justice speaks of a thorough survey of the civilian population and the police. There could choose from several models. More than 33,000 people involved gave a response and it said 65 percent in favor of the uniform with yellow striping. The tender for the operational pants has been completed and the safety reflective vest starting in May the carrier test. In late March the European tender for the remainder.

  Drivers have passed, safety vests are equipped

  Fifty-five drivers yesterday attest that carry with them on trips and warning vests. They are a mandatory part of and apart from Austria, for example, just on Czech roads are only one vest in the car. "I've got five of them. I go to Slovakia, just going again tomorrow, so I featured but other vest I lost, "he said Josef driver, who yesterday morning, police officers stopped in the street. They have stood the road with warning vests, handed out free to motorists. "With the result of the checks we are satisfied, except for one driver had all motorists safety vest," assessed police spokeswoman Martina. "Reflective vest in the car, of course I take," said Renate after leading the vest showed traffic inspectorate. He had another extra armor added to vehicles, saying that if the state would have to crash on the road outside the village, it must wear not only her, but anyone who stepped out of the vehicle as follows. He said he vest he had in the car already used. "When I exchanged tire on the road, so I wore it for sure," he said. Or other controlled driver, it is not to control the problem.

  How to measure the rate safety on Czech roads

  Perhaps we all have some experience with speed measurement. Whether measured and the police in safety vest stopped us directly, and we just saw the car standing somewhere radar. Or we go to places where the operation of section speed measurement. Some people agree with measurements, but a lot of people perceive that the speed is usually measured just make it as easy chosen as much money, not make it good for safety. That suggests the number of unmarked cars that exist for "covert surveillance", but this supervision is usually only measure the speed, nothing else. While on the roads every day we see things that are dangerous or annoying more than speeding. However, aggressive and reckless drivers who while the speed limit rarely exceeds we see on the roads every day enough. Perhaps we all have some experience with speed measurement.

Some laser meters are also able to recognize that he was disturbed by jet, and you cop the display message. In contrast, some jammers are able to interfere with the laser beam so that it did not recognize the device. All of these meters in the service of the state police are portable, sometimes standing on tripods, sometimes holding a policeman in the hand. There are many reportedly estimated around 100, which would soon be interchanged within the purchase of 103 new "pistol”.

Work by a policeman in the viewfinder will choose a vehicle that wants to measure, aims mostly at the license plate because it is metal and straight, and pull the trigger. The instrument sends laser beam that bounces back and calculated according to the measured speed of the vehicle. Previously, it was approved up to 100 m; today it is permissible to measure up to 400 m. At a distance of a man police hardly notice, even if he was wearing a reflective vest. Modern laser meter, for example. Truman said; also have a video mode that is used for documenting offenses other than the measurement of speed. Not giving turn signals. Even they can work in automatic mode, thus completely unattended.

  Police want to order a reflective vest for pedestrian

  While the number of deaths of drivers dropping rapidly, pedestrians killed is still more. In November, they accounted for over a third of casualties. Officers want to tighten the rules for pedestrians - such as having to wear reflective vest. What other changes can be expected on the roads? Marry one another blue coat and set off in the dark on the road to the next village you can be compared to a suicide attempt. According to a study BESIP you in such attire driver of a moving car and sees the moment is 18 meters behind you. No chance to react. While the number of deaths of drivers in the Czech Republic last summer plummeted, casualties among pedestrians are more and more. Every fifth dead on the road is a pedestrian. This nearly two-thirds die outside of the village. November statistics are even scarier. Of the 82 deaths in traffic accidents were pedestrians 33. "Now this number is one of the last arguments why next year will require the introduction of mandatory reflective elements for pedestrians. At least, outside the village," said the then chief of traffic police. That the driver in front of a pedestrian in black, blue or red clothes in darkness able to react in time, he would go only forty. In contrast with reflective elements on clothing a person is on the road to see even 200 meters. Officers would be glad if required to wear reflective vests or members got into an amendment to the Highway Code, which now is in the House and the members of her would have definitely vote at the first meeting in 2011. "I think it would help reduce the number of accidents on the roads of lower classes," agrees Vice-President of the House. "I supported everything that brings people to their senses. For me it is absolutely incomprehensible that pedestrians do now. Mainly they should think over themselves," says Interior Minister. Most MPs, who spoke to MF DNES, would focus on a massive campaign. "On each occasion pedestrian’s reflective elements recommending," says Minister of Finance. "In my youth, I walked three kilometers to the pub and I carried a flashlight," he adds. Now the question for policy enforcement is the biggest unknown. And experts even think about whether it would not bring on Czech roads even more aggressive. "Unscrupulous drivers that would probably have found a new excuse - if someone knocked, it argued that it did not have reflective elements," says transport expert Pert Moos. Some automakers have their luxurious types of vehicles equip with night vision equipment, which chauffeurs itself draws attention to pedestrians Drivers must vest dress accidents since this Sunday, while the reflective vests for pedestrians, which costs about 50 to 200 crowns, so far only considered the vests for drivers it is already decided. From January 1, all vehicles must be equipped with a safety vest that drivers must always dress up when their vehicle malfunction example, injects a bike or a traffic accident. The amendment to the Road Traffic Act, which could start paying roughly from mid-year, will bring on Czech roads and other news. Overtaking ban on entry to the track or running around gates will now seven penalty points, "mice on the road" for five. It is a maneuver in which die on the roads most people. Much more motorists must have in mind the safety belts and child safety seats for passengers. Here too, stricter penalties. Conversely, for trivial offenses, such as off the lights during the day or driving in the lane reserved for buses, would no longer made no penalty points.

  Road safety: Driving ban headphones for cyclists

  Every fourth cyclist rides with headphones on his ears. Professional drivers: they prohibit the drive. Even wear a safety reflective vest. It’s still dangerous. Cyclists riding listening to music - according to a poll Center for Social Prevention. It is most common among them risky behavior on the road while driving. Respondent’s cyclists do not see the problem, but in this behavior - more than half of the surveyed young cyclists and skaters cannot see the relationship between road safety and listening to music. "Smartphone, mobile phones, games geo headphones distract cyclists, skaters, motorists, but also pedestrians. It is conducive to accidents," - says Mares Inspector in safety vest. According to professional drivers listening to music while cycling or skating should be legally allowed on public roads and cycle paths parallel to such roads or streets. The introduction of this legal prohibition is 81 percent. This legal is built up for people’s safety, same as the pedestrian need to wear reflective material element on the road.

  Drivers of "Uber motorcycle taxis" in safety vest

  Created in November, the Smartphone application Safe Bode has a hundred registered drivers, divided into twenty stations across Kampala. Drivers all wear reflective clothing when drive the motorcycle.   Fast and cheap, "bode bode" (motorcycle taxis) plying the congested streets of Kampala, the Ugandan capital, are also very dangerous. Safe Bode, a local startup, wants to make more convenient via mobile by linking the model decried Uber, and especially safer.   These taxis to two wheels were born after independence, on the border between Kenya and Uganda where carrying cargo or passengers in the no-man’s land bicycles between the two border posts. Hence the name "border-to-border" (border to border), the local pronunciation turned it into bode through the Africa East.   Cheaper than taxis, playing traffic jams that congest the Ugandan capital, they are notorious as involved in many serious accidents. Nearly 40% of injuries treated at Malaga National Hospital in Kampala originate accident bode, according to a joint study in 2010 by the hospital and the Ugandan Miserere University. An accident, there are six, who has long been unable to work , Silver, 36, took over his job about which earns him 20,000 Ugandan shillings per day (6 Euros), slightly more than either the estimated average wage in the country.   Silver reflective tape now wants to join the ranks of Safe Bode. "Bode have the bad reputation" admits co-founder of the start-up, Ricky Rapa Thomson, 28, himself bode driver for four years and organizes city tours to bike. "We want to say that bode are safe.
