Internationally focused textbook to support Cambridge International
AS and A Level Travel and Tourism, for first examination in 2017.
Endorsed by Cambridge International Examinations, this second
edition of Cambridge International AS and A Level Travel and
Tourism has been fully updated for the Cambridge Syllabus (9395)
for examination from 2017. Written by experienced authors in an
engaging and accessible style, this Coursebook contains a wealth of
internationally focussed case studies and links to the key concepts
throughout. This book offers comprehensive coverage with an
international perspective and in-depth analysis of topics.
The object of the study is to restore to its original form the
Visaladevarasa, a poetical work composed in Rajasthan probably in
the middle of the fifteenth century of our era. Dr Smith has
provided a full critical analysis of his method, and he also
studies in detail the linguistic elements of the text. A full
English translation of the reconstituted text is placed opposite
the text, and there is a full glossary and index. This study will
be of interest to scholars specializing in New Indo-Aryan languages
and literatures and in Indo-Aryan philology and textual criticism.
Endorsed by University of Cambridge International Examinations.
Cambridge IGCSE Travel and Tourism has been written specifically
for the Cambridge IGCSE Travel and Tourism syllabus. Sections have
been split into units, each dealing with a particular topic, and
are cross-referenced to other units wherever appropriate. This new
title contains a wide variety of activities and questions to check
and facilitate students' understanding, as well as case studies and
illustrative examples encouraging subject-based knowledge and a
truly international approach.

A new selection from the national epic of India
Originally composed in Sanskrit sometime between 400 BC and 400
AD, "The Mahabharata"-with one hundred thousand stanzas of verse-is
one of the longest poems in existence. At the heart of the saga is
a conflict between two branches of a royal family whose feud
culminates in a titanic eighteen-day battle. Exploring such
timeless subjects as "dharma" (duty), "artha" (purpose), and "kama"
(pleasure) in a mythic world of warfare, magic, and beauty, this is
a magnificent and legendary Hindu text of immense importance to the
culture of the Indian subcontinent.
This report describes pre-crash scenarios that might be addressed
by vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The focus is on crashes
involving at least 1 light vehicle with a gross vehicle weight
rating of 10,000 pounds or less. The 2004-2008 General Estimates
System crash databases were used to quantify the societal cost and
describe the driving environment, driver characteristics, and crash
contributing factors. The National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation
Survey was queried to statistically portray crash causal factors.
Data from Event Data Recorders drawn from model year 2000-2007
vehicles were analyzed to describe the kinematics of pre-crash
scenarios in terms of travel speed, brake application, and
deceleration level over a period of five seconds before the crash.
Most crashes occurred on straight roads, dry surfaces, in clear
weather, and during daylight hours.
Technology has changed what it means for communities to "be
together." Digital tools are now part of most communities'
habitats. This book develops a new literacy and language to
describe the practice of stewarding technology for communities.
Whether you want to ground your technology stewardship in theory
and deepen your practice, whether you are a community leader or
sponsor who wants to understand how communities and technology
intersect, or whether you just want practical advice, this is the
book for you.
This report defines a new pre-crash scenario typology for crash
avoidance research based on the 2004 General Estimates System (GES)
crash database, which consists of pre-crash scenarios depicting
vehicle movements and dynamics as well as the critical event
immediately prior to a crash. This typology establishes a common
vehicle safety research foundation for public and private
organizations, which will allow researchers to determine which
traffic safety issues should be of first priority to investigate
and to develop concomitant crash avoidance systems. Its main
objectives are to identify all common pre-crash scenarios of all
police-reported crashes involving at least one light vehicle (i.e.,
passenger car, sports utility vehicle, van, minivan, and light
pickup truck); quantify their severity in terms of frequency of
occurrence, economic cost, and functional years lost; portray each
scenario by crash contributing factors and circumstances in terms
of the driving environment, driver, and vehicle; and provide
nationally representative crash statistics that can be annually
updated using national crash databases such as GES. This new
typology includes 37 pre-crash scenarios accounting for
approximately 5,942,000 police-reported light-vehicle crashes, an
estimated economic cost of 120 billion dollars, and 2,767,000
functional years lost. These statistics do not incorporate data
from non-police-reported crashes.
This report identifies crash imminent test scenarios based on
common pre-crash scenarios for integrated vehicle-based safety
systems that alert the driver of a light vehicle or a heavy truck
to an impending rear-end, lane change, or run-off-road crash.
Pre-crash scenarios describe vehicle movements and critical events
immediately prior to the crash. The General Estimates System (GES)
crash database was queried to distinguish common pre-crash
scenarios for light vehicles (2003 GES) and heavy trucks (2000-2003
GES) in terms of their frequency of occurrence. Analysis of
two-vehicle rear-end crashes revealed four dominant scenarios that
accounted for 97 percent of light-vehicle crashes and 95 percent of
heavy-truck crashes in which the subject vehicle was striking. Four
scenarios were also identified from an analysis of two-vehicle lane
change crashes, comprising 65 percent of light-vehicle crashes and
76 percent of heavy-truck crashes in which the subject vehicle was
encroaching onto another vehicle in adjacent lanes. There were five
single-vehicle, run-off-road scenarios representing 63 percent of
light-vehicle crashes and 83 percent of heavy-truck crashes,
excluding crashes caused by vehicle failure or evasive maneuver. An
additional set of scenarios is proposed to address multiple threats
from near simultaneous critical events. This report also provides a
statistical description of individual scenarios in terms of their
environmental factors, roadway geometry, and speed conditions.
This report analyzes the problem of light vehicle crashes in the
U.S. to support the development and assessment of effective crash
avoidance systems as part of the U.S.-DOT's Intelligent Vehicle
Initiative. The analysis was conducted using data from the 2000
National Automotive Sampling/GES crash database of the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
