Road safety management refers to the process of identifying safety problems, devising potential strategies to combat those safety problems, and selecting and implementing the strategies. Effective safety management is also proactive and looks for ways to prevent safety problems before they arise. High quality safety data should be used to determine the nature of the road safety problems and how best to solve them. As discussed in Unit 3, the clearest and most readily available indicators of road safety problems are crash data. These data can be used to identify safety problems on a large or a small scale. Other data, such as roadway characteristics, traffic volume, citations, and driver history, can be integrated with crash data to assist in identifying safety trends and high priority locations.
Every transportation agency will acknowledge that it does not have perfect data. All data have issues related to accuracy, coverage, timeliness, and other factors. One agency's crash data may have an incomplete record of low severity crashes. Another agency may have very little data on the traffic volume on low volume rural roads. However, data quality issues should not prevent a transportation agency from using the data to drive its safety management efforts. Even while the agency strives to improve its data, the data on hand should be used in the process of identifying safety problems and devising solutions to those problems.
The systemic approach has two attractive features. First, an agency can employ the systemic approach even for roads or intersections where crash data are not fully available (e.g., where location accuracy is questionable or underreporting is a problem). For instance, locating crashes accurately and precisely in rural areas or on non-State owned urban roads can be difficult. Second, the systemic approach is useful for treating safety issues where crashes are highly dispersed, such as on rural or low volume roads. Specifically, agencies can use the systemic approach to address existing and potential safety issues across a large portion of the network (e.g., shoulder rumble strips on all rural, two-lane roads with a certain shoulder width and traffic volume level).
A transportation agency must determine which of the potential strategies they will implement to address the identified safety problems. Since system-level safety solutions can involve broad changes to policies, design practices, or jurisdiction-wide road user behavior, there are different issues to consider compared to implementing a safety countermeasure at a specific location. Many more people will be affected by the system-level changes. This carries great promise in that safety might be improved across an entire system, but it also carries unique challenges.
The Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, is the classic problem solving textbook used by many successful MATHCOUNTS programs, and has been an important building block for students who, like the authors, performed well enough on the American Mathematics Contest series to qualify for the Math Olympiad Summer Program which trains students for the United States International Math Olympiad team.
Speaking of problems, the Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1, contains over 500 examples and exercises culled from such contests as MATHCOUNTS, the Mandelbrot Competition, the AMC tests, and ARML. Full solutions (not just answers!) are available for all the problems in the solution manual.
Most of the time, problems can be fixed using simple troubleshooting techniques, like closing and reopening the program. It's important to try these simple solutions before resorting to more extreme measures. If the problem still isn't fixed, you can try other troubleshooting techniques.
If you still haven't found a solution to your problem, you may need to ask someone else for help. As an easy starting point, we'd recommend searching the Web. It's possible that other users have had similar problems, and solutions to these problems are often posted online. Also, if you have a friend or family member who knows a lot about computers, they may be able to help you.
Keep in mind that most computer problems have simple solutions, although it may take some time to find them. For difficult problems, a more drastic solution may be required, like reformatting your hard drive or reinstalling your operating system. If you think you might need a solution like this, we recommend consulting a professional first. If you're not a computer expert, it's possible that attempting these solutions could make the situation worse.
Based on my observation in my case, I noticed that when I open a Zoom link in Edge, the Volume Mixer only shows one Zoom Application. Consequently, I couldn't unmute other Zoom Applications as suggested. However, when I opened the Zoom link in Chrome, the Volume Mixer displayed all Zoom Applications, with some being muted. Once I turned on the volume for all Zoom applications, the problem was successfully resolved!

The tutorial explains how to add and where to find Solver in different Excel versions, from 2016 to 2003. Step-by-step examples show how to use Excel Solver to find optimal solutions for linear programming and other kinds of problems.
Everyone knows that Microsoft Excel contains a lot of useful functions and powerful tools that can save you hours of calculations. But did you know that it also has a tool that can help you find optimal solutions for decision problems?
The Excel Solver add-in is especially useful for solving linear programming problems, aka linear optimization problems, and therefore is sometimes called a linear programming solver. Apart from that, it can handle smooth nonlinear and non-smooth problems. Please see Excel Solver algorithms for more details.
Tip. If the variable cells or ranges in your model are non-adjacent, select the first cell or range, and then press and hold the Ctrl key while selecting other cells and/or ranges. Or, type the ranges manually, separated with commas.ConstraintsThe Excel Solver Constrains are restrictions or limits of the possible solutions to the problem. To put it differently, constraints are the conditions that must be met.
Please pay attention that we've chosen the Simplex LP solving method in this example because we are dealing with the linear programming problem. If you are not sure what kind of problem yours is, you can leave the default GRG Nonlinear solving method. For more information, please see Excel Solver algorithms.
SolutionClick the Solve button at the bottom of the Solver Parameters window, and you will get your answer. In this example, the Excel Solver add-in calculated the optimal quantity of goods to deliver to each customer from each warehouse with the minimal total cost of shipping:
To change how Solver finds a solution, click the Options button in the Solver Parameters dialog box, and configure any or all options on the GRG Nonlinear, All Methods, and Evolutionary tabs.
This is how you can use Solver in Excel to find the best solutions for your decision problems. At the end of this post, you can download the sample workbook with all the examples discussed in this tutorial and reverse-engineer them for better understanding. I thank you for reading and hope to see you on our blog next week.
Throughout the day, include meaningful discussions and applications to develop the essential mathematical process skills of problem-solving, reasoning, communicating, making connections, and representing. Just like these skills are used by children in their daily lives, we integrate mathematics skill each day in our pre-k curriculum.
Fitting pants can be an enjoyable exercise if you think about it like the problem-solving activity that it is. It's also quite a bit easier with stretch pants like Ginger or Sasha; stretchy fabric tends to be more forgiving and easier to finetune. To get started, always begin by retaking your measurements and confirming what size you need to make. I always encourage you to grade in between sizes if you need to; it will save you time down the road. One thing to note is that just because you're a size 12 in the hip, doesn't necessarily mean you have a size 12 leg. This means you may find you like a slightly looser or tighter leg (or you may need to adjust because of the type of fabric you're using). If that's the case, simply add or remove from the side seam before you do anything else. For a recent pair I worked on, I added 1/4" to each side seam to make a slightly less form-fitting pair; you definitely have some wiggle room here, so don't feel overwhelmed if the fit through the leg isn't exactly what you want straight out the gate.
