Under the Rail Safety Improvement Act, all freight and commuter railroads in the United States are to be equipped with Positive Train Control (PTC) systems by the end of 2015. This decision was taken by Congress in 2008 and is intended to improve safety of rail transport by reducing the risk of human error. It is expected that these measures will contribute to the prevention of train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, train movement through a switch left, and to the protection of roadway workers and their equipment.

Radiation safety continues to be an issue of social concern for many nations. The topic has recently been under discussion at the 25th National Radiological Emergency Preparedness (NREP) Conference 2015, which took place in Sacramento, California at the end of April.

One of the basic principles of radiation protection is that every radiation dose should always be kept at a safe level. Modern radiation detection and measurement devices allow the monitoring of radiation levels as precisely and quickly as possible, thus reducing the risk of radiation exposure to the community and the environment. One of the most advanced solutions was demonstrated at this year’s conference. Continue Reading

The trend of rising crime rates and security concerns is increasing the demand for video surveillance systems. This, in turn, is driving the market towards new technological solutions which are expected to improve both social and personal safety. While it is virtually impossible to stop a crime from ever happening, however, with a fully functional surveillance security system, consumers have a greater chance of either deterring crime or capturing the criminals after the event occurs. To this end, many manufacturers of video surveillance systems use the latest technical developments and implement the most advanced features within the surveillance systems. Continue Reading
