Hence the introduction of Bus Segregation Schemes (MBSS) to improve bus operations along EDSA. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of MBSS on bus performance characteristics along EDSA.
METHODOLOGY
The average handling p e d is e q u a l to the distance of the segment being studied divided by the total travel time (relative to time to p and driving time) spent on the segment. Average running speed is equal to the distance of the segment being studied divided by the running time of the segment; and.
PUBLIC BUS TRANSPORT ALONG EDSA
The average driving speed for the entire segment was used because only the distance of the segment was known and it was quite difficult to determine the bus location each time the bus stopped and passed the segment for a detailed calculation of the p a s s e n g e r - k i l o m e t e r. After the introduction of the MBSS scheme, there was not much difference in bus traffic during rush hours.
BUS OPERATING
Three bus volume surveys were conducted during this period: one in August 1997, November 1997 and in April 1998. The share of buses in the north and south directions does not differ by more than 10 percent, with more southbound traffic during the morning rush hour and more traffic northbound in the afternoon rush hour.
CHARACTERISTICS FOR ANALYSIS OF THE MBSS
- Test on the Distribution of Data
- ANOVA MODEL I to Test the average Pax-Km
- Kruskal-Wallis Rank Test
- CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
As determined, the sample data of mean pax-mileage performance was a fairly normal and equal variability. Average travel and driving speeds of buses before and after the introduction of the MBSS. Comparison of the average passenger-kilometre deviations between the numbered buses.
As Figures 9 and 10 show, the frequency histograms of the average travel and driving speeds of the air-conditioned buses are quite similar. 5,991, therefore we conclude H0 that the mean value of the average driving speeds of the numbered buses did not differ. E Using the Kruskal-Wallis Rank test, the average travel and driving speed of air-conditioned buses decreased after the implementation of MBSS, while that of non-air-conditioned buses was no different.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the current situation, if an equal share of buses is considered, number 1 buses will be disadvantaged. Therefore, a redistribution of bus stops to the three bus groups should be investigated before an equal proportioning of buses is carried out. For the air-conditioned numbered buses, no differences were also noted between the groups in terms of their average travel and driving speeds.
It would also be interesting to know how the traffic flow has changed from the point of view of private vehicles after the implementation of MBSS.
However, there are other stakeholders involved whose interests are as important as the buses and bus operators, such as bus operations and other vehicles using EDSA.

INTRODUCTION
EDUCATION
In the same way, the teacher will have to answer two questions that the student will always ask when attending classes. If these questions were answered appropriately, students would be motivated to learn and eventually get the education they want.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE
The fourth skill to be developed by the student enriched in a laboratory class is the computational skills. The results of the student's work in completing a laboratory exercise must be reported, and when the student does this, he/she improves his/her writing skills. When the teacher will ask a student to explain how the laboratory exercise was done, the student's oral skills are developed.
The final skill required is discipline in performing the lab exercise, preparing the lab work, and understanding the theory of why the lab work is to be performed.
This is done when the study should actually calculate the results independently and in the d iv id iv laboratory exercise. These are the important skills that are needed to be developed by the student while taking a laboratory course. In some laboratory subjects it can be easily learned, while in others it will be a problem, but it is important that teachers try to develop these skills in their students.
All of these will result in students not being inspired to learn and therefore what the student will be doing is simply fulfilling the specific objective of passing the lab course and then saying that a lab course was just a bummer. necessary for the student. to do.
C . PROBLEMS
The students who use this wrong procedure and will do the same in the field unless rectified within the near future. In a typical laboratory classroom, therefore, the teacher is not competent enough to teach the classroom, the laboratory equipment is not adequate and calibrated.
ENCOUNTERED IN LABORATORY C LASSES
OPEN LABORATORY A. Innovative M ethod of Using
This means that the student can come in to do lab work whenever the lab room is open. Instead, it will be student workers who will supervise each student's work in the lab. The third advantage is the open freedom to allow the student to perform the laboratory exercise whenever he is free.
The maximum utilization of laboratory equipment therefore creates a favorable situation in the laboratory class.
CONCLUSION
As the laboratory room must be open up to ten hours a day, additional staff will be needed. The technician or work students who will operate the laboratory should also be competent and knowledgeable to supervise the laboratory work being performed. Since they will be the only ones set up in the laboratory room, they should have the com m and and the respect of the students taking the laboratory class.
They should be competent enough to know if the laboratory equipment is not being used properly when students are using it.
INTRODUCTION
Sensors and servo motor are also added for efficient implementation of the system. It happens that the data necessary for these operations is composed of the identification number (ID) and the personal identification number (PIN). Using the keyboard program, the EVB will interpret which number has been pressed on the keyboard.
The PC is still able to perform tasks other than monitoring the status of the security system.
LOW COST SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEM
The most energy is used to boil the water, if the initial temperature of the water is increased by solar heating, less energy is used. When bathing or washing dishes, the result is cleaner if warm or hot water is used; most of these things are usually done with cold water in the Philippines. This energy does not need to be imported and therefore helps the economy of the country concerned.
TYPE SELECTION
OBJECTIVES
LOCATION
The heat exchanger consists of two main parts, the coil, which is made of copper tubes in the form of a grid. The housing is lined with aluminum foil to reflect the heat back to the collector. The mounting of the heat exchanger is such that it must be slanted so that when it rains the glass will be washed effectively with the water that runs off.
A greater distance between the heat exchanger and the tank results in greater heat losses.
PROBLEMS
T h e head tube is painted with a dull black paint to absorb as much heat as possible. Reference to Heating and Design by Robert Henderson Emerick, indicates that the heat exchanger should be at an angle of 5 to 10 degrees to the e q u a to r and as much as 60 degrees closer to the polar regions. These figures are correct in theory, but an accumulation of dirt on the glass will seriously limit the efficiency of the unit.
There should not be too sharp an angle so that the water flows at a reasonable speed to allow adequate absorption of heat.
TESTING
The test points where the readings were taken are at POINT 1 the hot water outlet and POINT 2 the cold water inlet. The average increase in temperature over the temperature of the inlet water was 18.75 degrees Celsius. These readings were taken in the morning and even in the morning, the system had no insulation on the lid of the hot water tank.
Even on days with heavy rain all day, a temperature increase of 16 degrees C is reasonable considering that the price of this unit is about 1/10 of the price of an imported unit.
CONCLUSIONS
It would be a disaster if faucets were turned on and the cold water pressure was higher than the hot water pressure. The result can be that the cold water enters the hot water tank through the outlet, leading to overflow of the hot water tank. Installing the solar hot water system should be straightforward for most homes, but piping to the faucet outlets can be more difficult.
This should not be too long and preferably insulated or as a minimum requirement it should be plastic suitable for hot water temperature.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE
One consideration is that when this system is used for bathing, it must be i e d with cold water. Therefore, proper mixing units for showers will be necessary, the alternative would be to include non-return valves. The manufacturing process would be very simple, suitable for individual units or on a semi-automated manufacturing system.
The Philippine climate makes this type of unit suitable for today's needs.
IMPROVEMENTS
The level of sophistication used in the modern overseas units is not required in the Philippine environment.
