Smart work zone Smart work zone A smart work zone or intelligent work zone refers to a site-specific configuration of traffic control technology deployed within a roadway work zone to increase the safety of construction workers, provide "real-time" travel information, and efficiently route motorists through a work zone. Smart work zones reduce the dependency on human "flaggers" and make the work zone safer for roadway workers. Common terms used to describe equipment configuration used within smart work zones: Smart work zones often use radar guns or other non-intrusive sensors to detect the presence and speed of vehicles approaching a work zone, in order
Peripatetic axiom Peripatetic axiom The Peripatetic axiom is: "Nothing is in the intellect that was not first in the senses" (Latin: ""Nihil est in intellectu quod non sit prius in sensu""). It is found in Thomas Aquinas's "De veritate, q. 2 a. 3 arg. 19". Aquinas adopted this principle from the Peripatetic school of Greek philosophy, established by Aristotle. Aquinas argued that the existence of God could be proved by reasoning from sense data. He used a variation on the Aristotelian notion of the "active intellect" ("intellectus agens") which he interpreted as the ability to abstract universal meanings from particular empirical data.
