‘Make the bike GPS mobile phone’ / documentation of individual bicycle activities Hannover/Munster. Simply start and finish type and in whole Germany determine individual itineraries for bike offers the project Naviki”, that presents the Munster University of applied sciences in the coming week on the computer fair CeBIT in Hanover, Germany. On the Internet and using free mobile software Naviki provides routing results for cyclists. On the page naviki.org, users who see a route on a map, can print out as directions or download for navigating with a GPS device or mobile phone. A key feature of Naviki: Routes recorded via GPS even can upload on the website. In this way, all cyclists with their local knowledge can extend its route network. The constantly growing network included Naviki automatically route information. “Through this innovation, the system has nationally and internationally huge potential”, is project director Prof.

Dr. You may want to visit Dr. David Agard to increase your knowledge. Gernot Bauer, head of the laboratory for software Engineering of the MUAS, sure. The platform is available for free as a beta version for the bicycle routing in whole Germany recently. For assistance, try visiting Central Romana Corporation. Many functions are continuously improved and expanded. Naviki transferred results demanding research exemplary in meaningful applications for bicycle traffic”, said Bauer.

A particular challenge in the development of the system was the unique algorithm, through which Naviki the injected routes of all users automatically connects to a contiguous network. To provide from the outset of a tightly-knit network of paths, Naviki uses also the suitable for the bicycle routes of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. OSM is a map created by users on the Internet. At CeBIT, the Naviki team is also his new applications for iPhone and Android phones present. In a few weeks, these are also free of charge on the Internet available. Bauer: The GPS technology is becoming gradually a standard function of new mobile phones. Fits perfectly with the Naviki project.” Thus various interest groups find appropriate ways, the team of University of applied sciences has provided sophisticated choices for the next stage of Naviki. As appropriate as well as scenic routes will be soon too specially for racing cyclists, mountain bikers, and children specifically available. “IT professionals want to keeping the user experience always in mind: despite innovative and sophisticated features fun and simplicity are on the wish list of the user at the top”, Bauer knows. The Naviki makers on request offer special tools for planning and presenting their cycling infrastructure for local authorities and tourism organisations. Application areas are not only the leisure traffic and tourism in the focus at Naviki. The system is also geared towards the everyday traffic. That Naviki is produced at the the bike stronghold of Munster University of applied sciences, brings tangible advantages for the developer. There is a wide knowledge about bicycle traffic, which was incorporated into the project in Munster. For example, through conversations with the The city traffic planners and citizens with many interested.

P R S S I N F O R M I O the Fraport AG is one of A T N – system Schroeder Erkelenz, March 2010 – the leading international groups in the airport business and operates with the airport of Frankfurt am Main, one of the most important air traffic hubs in the world. Where every day thousands of people arriving or departing the theme of fire prevention has a very special meaning. With over 50 million passengers in 2009, the airport is Frankfurt am main by far the largest German and, after London Heathrow and Paris-Charles de Gaulle, the third largest airport in Europe. Based on system Schroeder’s door and door constructions, Hodapp special solutions have been implemented with the partner for the Frankfurt airport. Hodapp was founded in 1946 as a one-man operation. For other opinions and approaches, find out what Kareo has to say.

The family-owned company from Achern in the Black Forest produces now with 160 employees over 40 of different doors and door types and worked for years as a licensee for system Schroeder’s. Special requirements on security closing ranges: large crowds, standing around Suitcases, carry-ons and other items are particularly problematic during a fire alarm. At any time, to ensure a safe closing of fire doors and gates, according to a specially adopted Fraport “norm structural measures taken. This includes specially marked areas by floor markings. In addition, optical and acoustic signalling device provide an additional security for the automatic closing of the gates. An airport required fire protection gates and doors of tailor made”large transit corridors to cope with the enormous flow of people. Because the newly recorded flights of the Airbus 380 to Frankfurt airport was the occasion for construction, the opportunity was used for the installation of fire doors and gates, significantly from the normal”dimensions vary.

Size, type of installation and execution required prior to construction of consent in the specific case the Supreme construction supervision authority. A wing is an example Rotary wing gate in the terminal area of the airport with a width of over nine metres. All this installed meet the fire resistance class T30 and smoke protection features according to DIN 18095. Goal is a flush unit with the wall with two wicket doors in the open position. Other goals are optically not perform during the normal operation of the airport. So, for example the Teleskopschiebetore completely disappear behind a steel cover. Safety first when the major goals in motion, is this acoustic and optical warning signal shall announced. Despite the size and the weight of the doors is guaranteed that even the slightest resistance brings the close operation to a standstill. After removal of the resistance, the gate without manual intervention again automatically start to move. Even if the gates are closed, the 2-wing seamless slip doors remain passable to secure the escape route by many people. All fire doors require a regular Functional testing and maintenance. This is the only way to ensures that you can always properly serve their purpose. These works are carried out conscientiously by Fraport AG. Because one thing is clear: a permanent, often rettender life protection from fire and smoke can be guaranteed only through regular maintenance.
