Historic Burlington County Prison Museum

The Burlington County Prison Museum is a National Historic Landmark located in historic Mount Holly. Designed by Robert Mills, one of America ‘s first native-born and trained architects, the Burlington County Prison was completed in 1811. One of Robert Mills’ first designs as an independent architect, the interior vaulted ceilings of poured concrete and brick and stone construction made the building virtually fireproof. In fact, it was so well constructed that it remained in constant use until 1965.

SOFTWARE DEFINED VEHICLES – CHANGING LANDSCAPE FOR VEHICLE CONTROLS?

Google search for the term ‘software defined vehicles’ returned about 646M results in 0.33 seconds. The automotive industry is awash with this new buzz phrase. In their report “Rewiring car electronics and software architecture for the Roaring 2020s,” futurists from McKinsey & Company are heralding sweeping industry transformation both technically and commercially. We, GM, are making a splash with our Ultifi Platform that reimagines what it means to own and experience a vehicle and to grow revenue beyond vehicle sales. But what does all this mean for our vehicles – where the rubber meets the road, literally?!

This talk will explore the software defined future from a vehicle point of view. Using examples of core vehicle functions like motion control – embedded software that makes our vehicles stop, turn & go – we will dive into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and how we can all engage and shape this exciting future.

Professional Communication Society Chapter of IEEE Philadelphia

Date: Tuesday, September 24, 2024
Time: 7:00 – 8:00pm
Location: Virtual via Zoom

Signage: Traffic Control Devices

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Traffic control is an essential part of a safe, efficient transportation system. One of three main traffic control devices is signage. This session will cover the three sign classification types (regulatory, warning and guide), sign shapes and colors, proper placement along the roadway network, and maintenance for visibility. A small fraction of this talk applies to Ohio, but the rest applies nationally. There will be examples of both good and bad signage. Poor signage is confusing to humans and will become hazards for self-driving cars.
