Fifth Day-October 8, 2010

Today, I went on a company visit to

MMDA Traffic Engineering located in Mandaluyong. MMDA is the last company we visited during the tour. It is a company for the monitoring and watching the high ways in some areas in the metropolitan. Employees don’t have supposedly rest day during holidays. Operations can quickly detect the incident areas by the used of cameras.

What I learned?

MMDA is currently using Multiplex as its software and Fortran as their system. The staff shared us that almost accidents happen those who are using vehicles across the busy roads. Even drivers are wearing helmet they are not 100% safe in death. In fact they showed us several major incidents. Life is just too short to think of if you are not going to take good care while you are

What I liked?

What I liked most about MMDA is that, the purpose and objective of the said company. Employees working in monitoring 24 hours, lazy and indolent employees are not allowed. In fact, the admission test for job opportunities inside the engineering technology is standard and difficult to pass the average grade. Car nap can be seen through their cameras. Indeed, MMDA is implementing advanced technology in their cameras which can zoom in and clearly caught the every detail of accident. I like their intention and objective quick response to the accident in a specific place. Even car nap can be monitor but not to the point that the cameras can’t spot the plaque.

What I didn’t like?

Some technical terms introduced to us by some staff are not familiar to us. Some are unusual. High technological equipments are constructing and built in privately. MMDA is making records all the monitoring for the every second they monitored. That’s definitely tough!
