The Impact of Weather on Traffic Speed in Urban Area
PublicationThe issue of the impact of weather conditions on trip speed of vehicles has been studied for a long time and it is still the subject of many scientific researches. The impact of atmospheric conditions on the speed with which drivers drive their vehicles seems to be obvious. Good weather conditions, sunny weather with good visibility surely provokes higher speed while rainfall, wind...

Integration Data Model of the Bathymetric Monitoring System for Shallow Waterbodies Using UAV and USV Platforms
PublicationChanges in the seafloor relief are particularly noticeable in shallow waterbodies (at depths up to several metres), where they are of significance for human safety and environmental protection, as well as for which the highest measurement accuracy is required. The aim of this publication is to present the integration data model of the bathymetric monitoring system for shallow waterbodies using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and...

Dew and hoarfrost frequency, formation efficiency and chemistry in Wroclaw, Poland
PublicationThis article presents the results of a research study concerning a comparison of frequency, formation efficiency and basic physico-chemical properties of dew and hoarfrost in urban conditions. Longer than two-year series of measurements was carried out from 1 February 2008 to 10 March 2010 in Wroclaw, Poland. Sampling of atmospheric deposits was made by means of insulated plain passive radiative condensers, which allowed to collect...

Wysokoczęstotliwościowy falownik napięcia - badania symulacyjne
PublicationWiększość ruchomych odbiorników energii elektrycznej jest połączona ze źródłem energii poprzez: giętkie przewody, komutatory, pierścienie ślizgowe lub pantografy. Taki sposób zasilania w energię elektryczną jest powszech-nie akceptowalny w łagodnym środowisku pracy, ale może być ograniczony w środowisku zagrożonym pod względem wybuchu lub wilgotnym. W wielu przypadkach zastosowań trakcyjnych warunki środowiskowe nie pozwalają na...
