1201 IRF Geneva has carried out a successful webinar on World Road Statistics for Beginners - Techniques and Methods. Participants from all over the world joined in to the key messages and techniques from this webinar. This addressed the core characteristics of raw data brought together in the annual World Road Statistics report, which is one of IRF’s flagship projects. Published since 1964, this publication remains the single comprehensive source of data for the international road, traffic and transport sectors. The main questions addressed during the webinar included: Why collecting and analysis data is key; the statistics and econometric techniques to identify and fit road and transport data; modelling methods. Throughout the presentation, simple methodologies, elementary econometric techniques and examples were introduced to help the webinar participants understand the key elements to consider when analysing data.

Three-dimensional technology is playing an increasingly important role on construction sites around the world but there are still projects for which there is no 3D data and the use of a 2D system makes more sense for machine control. With the new 3D-matic, MOBA offers a precise and flexible 3D levelling system for graders, dozers and blades that can also be used as a 2D system if necessary. MOBA 3D-matic increases efficiency in machine use and contributes to fast and precise project execution. The compact t
Anaconda Equipment, which is exhibiting its DF410 tracked screener at bauma, has been crowned Business of the Year in the Belfast Telegraph 2013 Business Awards in its home country of Northern Ireland. In making the award, the judges considered the business’s growth, export achievements and design innovations, said Anaconda marketing manager Catrina Quinn. One particular innovation relates to the transport of its machines. “All our machines can be shipped in a single container,” said Quinn. “It makes transp
Italian company Ma-estro has developed the Transport Q control system for the control of material and machinery movement on large road building sites and in quarries. It says that on building sites characterised by highly dynamic situations, the main problem has been that of tracing the movements of equipment and materials entering and leaving the site, and doing this automatically, safely and accurately. “A control system entrusted to a number of persons in continuous rotation, where external personnel pay
