 Drive time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drive time is prime time for radio broadcasting.
Drivetime often includes a heavier run of traffic reports, for which many stations employ their own helicopter.
In the United Kingdom, the term "drivetime" is used almost exclusively to refer to the evening period (most commonly 4-7 p.m.); the term used for the morning is breakfast.

 Drive Time i-85-i-77.com
The drive time maps show the approximate distance that can be traveled in 15 or 30 minutes during 5:00 pm traffic from select locations.
The maps also give the estimated population of the geographic areas that encompass the 15 minute and 30 minute drive time areas.
These maps can be used as an estimate to determine the commute times to the major employment areas and the depth of employment base within those commute times.

 Franco-American News & Events, 3: DRIVE TIME
And people are spending more time in their cars -- an average one hour and 21 minutes a day in 2001 compared with 58.35 minutes in 1977.
But there's a whole lot of irrationality driving the driver, and the choice of what Thompson calls a person's ''biggest portable status symbol." He adds that people are in a constant state of denial that they're seeking that status.
Like it or not, the automobile at this time in this century, after 229 years of the American journey, defines who we are.

 Drive-Time Zones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
The drive time for each zone and the units of measure (hours, minutes, etc.).
In a road system with many roads, even a slight increase in the drive time distance can result in a considerably more complex buffer area with a surprisingly large increase in computation time required.
For example, suppose some people in a four-wheel drive vehicle are lost in a semi-desert region where it is not clear if they stayed on the road during their travel or ventured off-road into the desert.

 Schumacher now eyes all-time record - Drive.com.au
Coulthard, who started alongside Schumacher on the grid but on the dirty side of the track, had said before the race that he needed to be in front at the first corner if he was to have any chance of ruining the Ferrari party.
Schumacher pitted on lap 52, Barrichello on lap 53 and Coulthard on lap 54.
By the time they all rejoined the track, Schumacher was back in front but Barrichello had regained second spot from Coulthard after the Scotsman had taken a 9.9 second stop.

 GM FastLane Blog: Drive Time
I recently had the pleasure of driving two Impalas (both rentals) for two different road trips: one exploring the twisting country roads of the beautiful Lighthouse Trail of coastal Nova Scotia; and the other on a 2000km interstate round trip from Montréal to Washington DC and back.
Posted by: John at June 21, 2006 01:33 AM I know rear wheel drive sedans are all the rage with a lot of Fastlane contributors, but don't go overboard.
Drive the Impala SS and you'll see that 303HP is too much for that car's rolling stock.

 TMEIC GE e-news: Drive Time
Ac drives that do not require regeneration use diodes as source converters because they are low cost and the fixed output voltage is perfect for the dc link of a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) inverter.
For example, 6 times 2 bridges gives 12-pulse; 6 times 3 bridges gives 18-pulse, etc. Of course, more than just additional converters are needed; the proper phase shift must be applied to the voltages at the input to the converters to obtain true 12 or 18-pulse output.
Another benefit is less ripple in the output voltage, but because this is usually internal to the ac drive, it is not as visible as the harmonic currents at the input.

 Bill would double teens' drive time
SPRINGFIELD -- Teenagers would have to spend more time behind the wheel with their parents before they could get a driver's license, under legislation Secretary of State Jesse White and a Chicago lawmaker proposed Thursday.
Last month D'Amico proposed barring 15- and 16-year-olds from driving after two teens died in a crash in his district.

 MV e-news: Drive Time!
Vector drives may not have an explicit setting for V/Hz, but they cannot vary much from the rated flux of the motor to operate it properly.
Of course, the transient response of the vector drive in general, is much better than a scalar drive, and therein lies the vector drive advantage.
The capability of the vector drive to separate the torque current and flux current means it can change the current in the required axis precisely and not simply change voltage and frequency in a constant ratio.

 The USB drive time bomb
Sure, people who buy drives may try to install them while they're sailing on the high seas and covered with a crackling aura of St Elmo's Fire, and hard drive manufacturers certainly are annoyed about drives that've been killed by electrostatic discharge due to improper handling by the user getting returned under warranty.
In a typical business-computer situation, where the skinflints in the purchasing department have made sure that every PC in the place is short of physical memory and so flogs its drive non-stop for eight hours a day, a substantial fraction of those drives can be expected to last two years or less.
Run all of the drive box plugpacks from a Christmas tree of powerboards hooked to one switched outlet - which is a bad idea for high powered devices, but fine for the modest demands of hard drives - and you can toggle the lot of them on and off at will.

 Test drive: Laptops - Greenwich Time
They're dropping the prices on mid-level machines that might have cost two to three times the price as recent as three years ago, offering the likes of an 800-megahertz processor, 128 megabytes of RAM, and a 10- to 20-gigabyte hard drive for $1,300 to $2,000.
Another trend to notice: the increase in the number of laptops with no extra "spindles" or drives; instead, to save weight, the separate drive mechanisms for reading floppies or CDs or DVDs are either plugged into a port or left at home on a docking tray.
Still, it is weight-not processing power, battery life or the ability to play a DVD of "The English Patient"-that is the single largest factor driving the market for laptops and notebooks, said Mark Margevicius, a market analyst with Gartner Dataquest, a technology industry research firm.
