Cables across the roadway???

[nightrider]

Does anybody know the reasons and purpose for running these cables on the main roads?

[shaneelal]

I assume your talking about the cables that the Ministry of Works places to determine the traffic patterns in an area.

they spying

contact anil roberts

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

[cinco]

is d SIA
dem cables could tell dem dong to wah yuh eat las week Wednesday

an what they do with that data? print fancy booklets?

they obviously don't think that traffic lights should have different programming at different times of the day

[kurpal_v2]

Maybe its the extensions cords those seismic guys have been running allover south.

[dreadman]

d cables on d highway is attached to a counter dat checks d amount of vehicles passed durin a time period.....daz how dey does come up wit d statistics dat 100,000 vehicles pass on d eastern main rd every day(jus an example)

TCM traffic light seems too

Oh snap that is my trap i set up to catch this fella.

BEEP BEEP !!!

Most likely it's this. ^^

It's this..... but I always wondered how it worked cuz some vehicles have more than 2 sets of wheels

im not too certain but its lined up in some sort of grid & is designed to transmit data.
I have them all in my yard too.

the workers are very schemish, they run the cables & tell us loose the dogs so they will ransack it & they will get more work to do (more $$$).

the explosions cracking people concrete walls too, I want to know if they gonna compensate for that.

[Humes]

Interesting...I was wondering that myself.

petrotrin is doin a seismic survey lookin for oil.....where the lines are run they look for the owners and inform them about the process and gives them a copy of when is to b done an if they agree the owner has to sign.....in d letter it states that if there is any damage to land or property a claim is to b made and reported to petrotrin....i not too sure about ppl houses that are nex to the property dat d lines are run.
i know this bcuz it was run in the land rite next to where i live which belongs to us

[nervewrecker]

we aint get no paper to sign, no one I know of in the area got any to sign.

the lines in our yard. I will take pics & post later.

[dreadman]

what u should do is contact petrotrin an complain to dem

[dreadman]

here what u all can do...call this number(its on d form what we got) 762-2238. name is stephen boodoo...dont say where u got d numba eh
jus tell him is concerning the survey that dey doin

[nervewrecker]

thanks dreadman, will do.

seems the people in my area knows nuttin about what goin on, a few of them working petrotrin & for the seismic unit & just running cables like mad.....

likely to determine if the traffic load is high for road work purposes.

let us kno what is d outcome when u call

[nervewrecker]

well apparently they bought papers to sign a few days ago when they come to fix the lines that the dogs ransack (I called home to verify weather or not they signed any paper). I wasnt home so I didnt know they did that but they didnt give us a copy....

Yes, but there is nothing they can do about that. The test will not be completely accurate. The counter counts the number of single axles across the counters (it is an air pressure sensor that detects when a large pressure difference is obtained and counts that as an axle passing over it). Based on previous observations and repeated trials, they will say that hypothetically, the expectation is that 70% of the vehicles that pass will have 2 axles, 15% have 3 axles 5% have 4 axles and 10% have 5 axles within a reasonable standard deviation. If after 8 hours (the period under inspection) 10000 axles pass, there will be 3500 cars, 500 3-axle trucks, 125 4-axle trucks and 200 5-axle trucks, in all approximately 4325 vehicles.

Yes,yes....but how long until they repave the road?

[CS3A_GLX]

API puh down orange cables to do testing and dynamite d piping areas!

I doubt is this. There's to much factors that will hinder this method from producing accurate results.

The cables has nothing to do with tracking vehicles and whatever, it's seismic sensors that are placed in differant areas to get readings for where they can do exploration wells in the future.

Simple layout, they drill shallow wells in certain areas and use explo! to set off and the sensors will get the readings via sound and this will give the infomation needed for the survey.

..not sound waves...seismic waves.
