Safety in Industry
This concise book presents years of the author's practical experiences on industrial safety through various case studies.
Inclusion by Design
This book introduces a new speculative design process for inclusive new product development (NPD). The authors offer Vision Enabled Design Thinking (VEDT), a human-centered technological design framework incorporating the use of Design Lens and Vision Concepting, as a way for the designer to ideate and reflect on product development concepts within a deeper sociocultural context. The authors incorporate project management concepts into the overall design process through the development of a new design process, "4-D Algorithm for New Product Development".Inclusion by Design: Future Thinking Approaches to New Product Development formalizes the use of speculative design as a means for more inclusive NPD and promotes management of the design process as a needed skill for future engineers and designers. It provides a novel design methodology of VEDT for engaging vision concepting, through the use of Design Lenses in engaging speculative design practices and offers an implementation framework to support the sustainable adoption and use of future design methods. The 4-D Algorithm for New Product Development promotes inclusivity in design while addressing practical aspects of managing the design process in today's corporate business environment.Those involved with interactive product and technology design, new product development, design researchers and managers, engineers, as well as professionals and graduate students will find this book useful.
Mastering 3D Plant Engineering, Digitalisation & Automation
"In today's world, 3D modeling is rapidly replacing traditional 2D-based design and engineering. Given the vast array of capabilities and technical recalibration of engineering and design approaches that are using the 3D modeling framework, there is a pressing need to cohesively outline this domain knowledge. This book covers all the underlying concepts including the creation and application of 3D models, as well as leveraging on the data-driven intelligence concept including usage of various digitalization tools. Further, the data-driven concept has been explained in this book to highlight how it can be used for work-sharing by concurrently accessing the same model and database across various geographical locations and finally the deployment of overall project lifecycle management."
Critical Issues in Selecting Conventional and Mechanized Tunnelling Methods
This book discusses the critical issues in selecting conventional and mechanized tunneling methods and lessons learned from the past. It covers the following main topics: geological and geotechnical parameters affecting tunneling methods, summarizing conventional tunneling and mechanized tunneling methods, the factors affecting the choice of tunneling methods such as the cost of the initial investment, the length of the tunnel, project scheduling, time for mobilization, emerging new technologies. Some examples of changing the tunneling method from conventional to mechanized tunneling or vice versa during the same ongoing project and hybrid tunneling methods in the same project are also given. The last chapter resumes the innovations made for the tunneling industry, summarizing advancements in safety, non-circular TBMs, robotics, new instrumentation, new materials and methodologies to decrease carbon footprint. This book is aimed at graduate students, professionals and researchers in tunneling, civil and mining engineering and geology.
Transport Transitions: Advancing Sustainable and Inclusive Mobility
Telling Stories with Maps
Bring data to life with this essential guide to storytelling with maps. From scraping patterns in sand to drawing intricate lines on vellum and paper, to charting every place on the planet, humans have used maps as a powerful storytelling medium. The advent of the digital age has revolutionized the creation, distribution, and consumption of maps. The web created enormous opportunities for storytelling, enabling maps to dance and weave, partnering with other multimedia elements-photos, video, audio, text--to tell countless tales about our world. Featuring a foreword by renowned travel writer and cofounder of Lonely Planet Tony Wheeler, Telling Stories with Maps: Lessons from a Lifetime of Creating Place-Based Narratives bridges both the analog and digital realms, showcasing how maps themselves tell stories and enrich narratives by providing context and insight. Richly illustrated with examples from traditional maps to the latest digital visualizations, this book is an essential guide for anyone interested in the powerful storytelling potential of maps. Topics covered include: How storytelling is fundamental to our humanity Comparing and contrasting the use of words, images, and maps in storytelling How maps help us tackle the who, what, when, where, why, and how Considerations for the deep connection between maps and memory How cartography and location-based storytelling have changed during the digital age How the author and his collaborators refined storytelling techniques to create printed wall maps and atlas plates The roles that maps play in narrative context Readers will learn: 15 approaches to storytelling and place-based topics How exposure to maps and geography can change how we think Storytelling approaches suited for digital media yet honoring the centuries-old conventions of cartography How to develop multimedia stories with the ability to employ motion and interactivity for your audience Practical features and functions of ArcGIS StoryMaps, Esri's storytelling platform, with insight and inspiration you can apply to your stories. Author Allen Carroll brings his experience from both the National Geographic Society and Esri into his writing. Carroll spent more than a decade of his 27-year career at National Geographic Society as chief cartographer. In 2010, Caroll joined Esri and founded its ArcGIS StoryMaps team, which developed web tools that enabled hundreds of thousands of individuals and organizations to tell place-based stories combining interactive maps and multimedia content. Telling Stories with Maps is a winding journey, from thoughts on how our brains process spatial information to practical tips on creating stories, that will guide and inspire you to create place-based narratives that intrigue readers.
