An instrument commonly used to measure diffuse irradiance is the polar-axis shadow band pyranometer. However, the shadow band that is used to prevent the beam energy from entering the pyranometer also obscures part of sky-diffuse irradiance. A correc...

Journal Article
Wigan, M. (2002). Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation. Transportation research record, 1818(1), 39-46. https://doi.org/10.3141/1818-06

Motorcycles usually are treated solely on the basis of their safety characteristics and very rarely as a mode of transportation with benefits and costs, placing safety issues in a full transportation context. The standard transportation issues of tra... Read More about Motorcycles as a Full Mode of Transportation.
