 be appreciated, such systems may reduce or prevent potential liability on the part of the construction company or essentially any other entity.
[0064] The tracking information may also be used for auditing purposes. For example, maintenance of a particular vehicle may be due, and a maintenance shop assigned to perform the maintenance. The maintenance shop may report that maintenance has been performed, but the location records maintained by the management system 54 may show that the vehicle never was taken to the maintenance shop. Such records can then be used to take corrective action.
[0065] Some embodiments of the invention provide for conflict and/or accident avoidance. In some construction sites, for example, certain areas of the construction sites are maintained off-limits to all vehicles or to certain vehicles. For example, large vehicles may be excluded from entering areas lacking sufficient maneuverability for the vehicles. Similarly, areas with hazards, storage areas, active work areas, or essentially any area may be designated as an exclusion area for certain types of vehicles or equipment, and virtual fences may be established on the management system 54 indicative of the applicable restrictions. When a restriction is violated, any applicable action could be taken. For example, an offending vehicle may be disabled until communication can be established with the vehicle's driver to ensure that the driver is aware of the restriction and can exit the restricted area. Alternatively, an on-site employee may be notified of the violation to allow the on-site employee to respond in person. These are simply examples of a large variety of actions that can be taken.
[0066] As another example, in many situations, a movement corridor (e.g. a roadway) of a worksite may only be able to permit transport of a single vehicle at a time. In some such circumstances, the entirety of the corridor may not be visible from either end, such that a vehicle desiring to enter the corridor from one end cannot know whether a vehicle is traversing the corridor in the other direction towards the first vehicle. If the first vehicle were to enter the corridor, it could create a conflict such that one vehicle might have to backtrack a portion of the corridor, in reverse, which could be difficult. The system may be used to avert potential conflicts by determining whether any potential conflicts exist before each vehicle enters the corridor. While use of such a system has been discussed with respect to a worksite, the principles of conflict avoidance illustrated thereby may be applicable to many situations, such as airport traffic control, movement within a warehouse, or any other desired situation.

Short phrases about "Astrophysics"Yesterday, while I was away with my dad at a swapmeet, lots of excitement was happening back home. Recently we put our 1986 Buick Regal up for sale in the front yard. Even though it was still a good car and we all enjoyed it, it was giving us all to much of a headache to be worth keeping. While we were away we had a trade from the Regal to a 1969 Pontiac Acadian. Because Dave and I were both up in Ancaster, we had to give my brother a call, and despite the fact that he'd been working midnights, so it was the middle of his night, he got up to help make the swap before my mom came home from work. We were both excited as we kept receiving messages and calls from back home as the process was occurring, all while doing our best to sell parts to customers old and new. The drive home was exciting, and tiring. Trying to find the regal to give it a proper goodbye while passing on the 401 and failing and wondering just what awaited us in the driveway at home gave us the jitters in our already almost delirious state. Upon arrival, the car stood in the driveway, a lovely shade of green (I feel like all Acadians must be green for at least a small portion of their lives, or at least that's what it seems like). It runs, as long as you know how to start a carburated car, and we hope to have it on the road as a summer fun car by the upcoming weekend. It may not be the prettiest car you've ever seen, but it's something to keep me going until my Nova is finished, and hopefully will be a decent donor car as well.Enjoy London’s most iconic landmarks and a traditional pub lunch on this spiffing half-day private tour. From Piccadilly Circus to Trafalgar Square, we’ll take in the nation’s most famous sights like the Changing of the Guard, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Downing Street, Horse Guards Parade and the Royal Park of St James. Be entertained with tales from your local guide about the royals, Winston Churchill, the rebels Guy Fawkes and William Wallace, World War II and lots more!
Inclusions: Local English-speaking guide, full pub lunch including your choice of any main meal (including fish & chips, pies, sausage and mash, vegetarian options and more), plus any drink of your choice (beer, ales, wine, sprits, etc.).
Winged Statue of Eros, Piccadilly Circus. Your guide will be standing with a large open red and white umbrella, close to the statue.
Starting off at the world-famous Piccadilly Circus, we will embark on a journey of discovery and visit some the nation’s most important landmarks, buildings and monuments.
As we walk, you’ll see the private club where Winston Churchill spent his evenings, learn about Napoleon and his nemesis the Duke of Wellington and see where the Grand Old Duke of York (from the famous nursery rhyme) used to frequent, too.
Then it’s time to soak up some royal history as we pass St James’s Palace, where Prince William and Prince Harry and their mother Princess Diana all lived.
We will then press onwards to see the truly spectacular Buckingham Place to marvel at the home of the British monarchy and, hopefully, witness the Changing of the Guard (weather and public events permitting).
As we meander through places of royal significance, your guide will regale with tales of the Queen, her late-night visitor (ooh!) and life and death tales of World War II.
Explore the majesty of our stunning Royal Parks and find out about the crazy gifts bestowed upon the royals by fellow monarchs and world leaders.
Then we’ll see just how big Big Ben really is and pose for a picture with Winston Churchill himself, a worthy addition to your social media feeds if ever there was one!
Next up, we’ll admire the Houses of Parliament through the eyes of some
