Refimprove date July 2008 distinguish Collector distributor road A collector road or distributor road is a low to moderate capacity road which serve to move traffic from local streets to arterial roads . Unlike arterials, collectors are also designed to provide access to residential properties. Rarely, jurisdictions will differentiate major and minor collector roads, the former being wider, busier and more significant. Specifications Collector roads can vary widely in appearance. Some urban collectors are wide boulevards entering communities or connecting sections.

The flow of a collector road usually consists of a mixture of traffic signal signalled Intersection road intersections or traffic circle s with arterial roads signals, circles or stop sign s often in the form of a four way stop with other collector roads, and unsignalized intersections with local streets which favour traffic movement on the collector. Speed limits are typically between 20 and 35 mph or 30 to 55km h on collector roads in built up areas, depending on the degree of development and frequency of local access, intersections and pedestrians, as well as the surrounding area the speed tends to be lowest in a school zone .

Multiple issues cleanup November 2007 intromissing October 2010 A Ski Collector is a long conductive plate under a vehicle, which connects to a series of separated studs to collect electricity to power the vehicle. Most electric railway systems take the power from an external Electrical generator generator . This means the electricity has to be collected while the locomotive is on the move. In this context a locomotive refers to any electric vehicle on a guided track system . Other than railways the other most common system of electrically powered guided transport is a tramway system. Generally electric locomotives collect power through a third rail or an overhead wire . The full circuit is completed by track rails. For main line railways with their protected lines overhead lines and third rails are not a problem. Tramways operate in cities. This means that the third rail system is not really practical. It has been used, protection being offered to other road users by placing it in a central groove. Even so the ingress of dirt and water can cause problems. An alternative solution is to use studs. These require a long collector under the locomotive, called a ski collector.

In the UK electricity system, a Data Collector DC is responsible for determining the electricity consumption of supplies. Half hourly Data Collector For MPAN PC half hourly metered supplies, the HHDC retrieves the energy consumption data from the meter and makes any necessary estimates. The HH data is a history of the supply s consumption for each half hour. Non half hourly Data Collector For MPAN PC non half hourly metered supplies, the NHHDC determines the consumption by calculating the advance the difference between the last two meter reads, this is annualised to produce an annual advance AA , this being the data the Supplier will pay on . The NHHDC is also responsible determining the Estimated Annual Consumption EAC , which is a forecast for a year ahead. The EAC is initially provided by the Supplier, and thereafter forecast based on actual meter readings. Data from the DC EAC AA s is provided to the Non Half Hourly Data Aggregator, which Aggregates the individual values provided into a single figure split in a number of ways e.g. Geographically, Geographically & Supplier or Supplier. This aggregated data is then provided to the Central Systems, maintained by ELEXON, to determine the value of energy which has been used by Suppliers so that they are able to settle with the distribution network which generated the energy. The process is known as balancing and settlement and falls under the balancing and settlement code BSC .
