Traffic Hotspots Cost U.S. Drivers Billions, Study Shows
by Cherise Threewitt

If you live in or near a major city and drive a car, you can't do much these days to avoid traffic. But what makes driving in some cities worse than others, or one road more congested than another?
Well, according to INRIX, a company that analyzes traffic and infrastructure data, it's "traffic hotspots." They define traffic hotspots as "traffic jams that occur at the same locations along a stretch of road." According to Mark Burfiend, the director of public relations at INRIX, a key element that defines a traffic hotspot is that they are reliable and predictable. If a commuter travels along the same route at the same time every day, and it's always backed up at the same intersection or merge point, that is a traffic hotspot.
A recent study by INRIX released in September 2017 named and ranked the worst traffic hotspots in the U.S. — 108,000 in the 25 most congested U.S. cities. L.A., New York, D.C., Atlanta and Dallas rounded out the top five with most.
INRIX conducted the study to learn more about the U.S. transportation network and "the health of the road." The results will be used to help determine the best and most efficient ways to allocate money toward the country's transportation infrastructure. In other words, by identifying the worst traffic hotspots — and how they work — public officials can make upgrades in the areas that will have the most benefit to drivers.
For the purposes of the study, INRIX used its cloud-based traffic analysis tool Roadway Analytics to analyze areas with frequent traffic jams, and further narrowed those down to spots where speeds were typically observed to drop below 65 percent of reference [uncongested] speed for at least two minutes. In other words, in a hotspot, traffic will slow to less than half its usual pace. The study also looked at the economic costs in terms of wasted time, lost fuel and carbon emissions over the next decade.
Using the data it gathered, INRIX created a Global Traffic Scorecard, which ranks the cities with the worst traffic and identifies the time and money wasted in traffic congestion. The Global Traffic Scorecard rates cities on a metric called the Impact Factor, which is calculated by duration X length X number of traffic jams.
Here are some other insights from the study:
The cities at the top of the Global Traffic Scorecard are Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Atlanta and Miami
Though New York has more traffic hotspots than any other city in the study, drivers in Los Angeles pay more due to hotspots
There were more than 128,000 traffic jams in Los Angeles during March and April of 2017
The worst single hotspot in the country is near Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Interstate 95 South at Exit 133A, and is estimated to cost drivers there $2.3 billion through 2026
A traffic jam in this I-95 hotspot lasts 33 minutes, on average, and stretches about 6.47 miles (10.41 kilometers)
The report concluded that across all 25 cities studied, traffic hotspots will cost drivers $480 billion during the next 10 years in lost time, wasted fuel and carbon emitted. When extrapolated across the country as a whole, the cost of hotspots is expected to reach $2.2 trillion — with a T — through 2026.
Using Data to Improve Traffic
Connected cars and mobile devices are the key to this study, since they can be tracked by GPS. For example, if you're using a smartphone for traffic monitoring, researchers can tell when and where you speed up, slow down and come to a stop. INRIX is not the only company that takes advantage of our connectivity. For example, if you use Google Maps to calculate a route and get travel time estimates, those estimates are also courtesy of real-time GPS analytics.
The Traffic Management Center for New York uses cameras, microwave motion sensors and E-ZPass readers to provide real-time information to adjust traffic signals.

In addition to the tangible effects, hotspots contribute to hard-to-measure problems, such as a city's overall reputation for being a difficult or expensive place to live, work or visit. After all, no one wants to vacation in a city where they will spend most of the time in bumper-to-bumper traffic. That means this data is extremely useful to cities that are trying to improve the roadway system.
For example, Chicago recently implemented strategies to ease congestion along I-90, which improved rush hour travel times by 64 percent for westbound commuters. A new lane was added on each side of the expressway; buses and emergency vehicles are authorized to use the shoulder lane; and real-time traffic data (again, gathered from GPS-enabled cars and mobile devices) is provided to commuters. California, New Jersey and Washington are among states that have recently passed legislation to authorize funding for infrastructure upgrades.
The goal, presumably, is to pave the way for smoother traffic when (or if) autonomous cars become the norm, but there is no reason that American drivers shouldn't benefit from this technology now. The cloud isn't just for streaming music anymore.
Now That's Interesting
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, drivers in the United States are expected to drive a cumulative of 2,147.8 billion vehicle miles of travel by then end of 2017.

Q: device eth1 does not seem to be present fedora-3 (I know, it is ancient, but this is my sandbox where I look under the hood), udev-039, kernel 2.6.27, configured and compiled by myself.
I'm using pci wifi card with ath9k module.
Kudzu recognizes hardware, assigns eth1 interface, but device is missing.
dmesg shows ath9k: 0,1 - looks like no warning.
/sys directory does show details on bus. Tried adding udev rules file with reference to vendor and product id but still cannot activate device. Any ideas on what is going on or how to fix it?
F.Y.I. booting same box into ubuntu 14.04 card and wifi is working.

A: The root cause was that initial release of ath9k driver in kernel-2.6.27 had limited chipset support. Kernel-2.6.32 has support for the AR9227 chip in TP-LINK TL-WN851ND PCI card. Credit for the solution goes to @jeremy31 who suspected that the installed ath9k driver may not support the actual chipset. What I have learned is that even if module installs without error and even if dmesg signals no error things may still not work as intended. - Yes, old machine, old linux, but good education. Thanks again, Zachary Brady and Jeremy31

The Action Science Robo-Bugs kit includes everything you need to create three robotic bugs, each of which explore a different area of technology to help you learn and understand how electronics work.
The three robots you can construct are the "Guide Robot" which seeks and detects objects; the "Wake Me Robot" which is light-sensitive, lurking in the darkness ready to spring into action at dawn (or whenever you switch on the light!); and the "Remote Control Robot" which can be operated by any TV remote control.
The instructions are easy to follow (it's much simpler than putting together an IKEA wardrobe) and there is a certain amount of achievement to be had out of building these robots and learning, on a simple level, how the technology works. And, as with John Adams's other impressive electronics kit the Hot Wires set, it will give young minds an entry into the world of electronics - and hopefully whet their appetite to movie on to some of the other, more intricate kits that are available once they mature.
Yet another fantastic electronics kit from John Adams.

Smart Tech for Managing Rentals
Property Management, Rental Properties, Technology, Smart Homes
Property management from your phone? Smart-home tech can help with that.
© Alexsl / Getty Images
Property management from your phone? Smart-home tech can help with that. Radha Herring, broker in charge at Watermark Real Estate Group in Myrtle Beach, S.C., receives alerts on her phone to flag potential problems with the beachfront home she owns and manages.
For managers and owners of short-term rentals, "technology has made it so much easier to manage properties," Herring says. "Even remotely, you can make sure that a property is maintained at a high level."
Smart locks: Older models had pushbutton codes that couldn't easily be changed. Newer models, such as Schlage Smart Locks and Yale Assure, allow you to provide a new code for each new guest or contractor.
Security system: Systems such as those from Ring Alarm or SimpliSafe allow for add-ons like outdoor cameras and sensors. Get an alert when people approach the property or try to sneak into the pool.
Smart thermostats: Reduce utility bills with remote control of temperature settings and schedules. Some models, such as those from Honeywell and Nest, can work in tandem with a security system to alert you to red flags, such as when the home's temperature is too high.
Smart lights: Smart lightbulbs, including those from Philips Hue and C by GE, can help property managers control lights to prepare for guests' arrival.
Water sensors: These sensors can be placed on a floor, under or near appliances like the sump pump, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, and sinks. They can send alerts when they detect excess moisture, helping to avoid small leaks and broken pipes. Sample products include Alert Labs' Floodie and Alloy Smart Home Leak Sensor.
Outdoor solutions: Pool sensors such as WaterGuru's Sense monitor the acidity and chlorine levels of a pool. They can be used to track and, in some cases, adjust levels remotely. And with smart irrigation systems, such as those from Rachio and Netro, you can set schedules for lawn care, factoring in weather conditions or the moisture content of the soil.
A strong Wi-Fi connection is critical for both guest use and the smooth operation of the devices. Herring recommends 1GB of service. Also, it's important to disclose all the monitoring technology in use—especially any video equipment—so guests are aware, she says.

What a brilliant year! I've wondered why my wife and I were so tired towards the end of year and realised a great deal had happened!
We are enjoying a break in warm Perth at the moment, reflecting on the year that was and preparing to tackle 2016.
These posts below were the most read and commented on posts of 2015, the first year of theHealthyGP blog.
There was a paucity of posts after April mainly due to study for a Dermatology Diploma and the birth of our 3rd little lion, Benjamin Fredrick Ramachenderan. Squashed in there too was moving into our new house. So yes, it has been an incredible year!
I have been overwhelmed with loving feedback and blown away by the stories of hope that my writing has instilled.
There were tentative moments when I'd realised that some of my deepest hurts and struggles had been shared with the world, but these are the stories that have shaped me and become my biggest victories.
The biggest lesson I've learnt this year is that sharing your story, raw, uncovered and laid bare, breaks down every pretension and every wall that may barricade around someones heart and this allows the truth to penetrate deeply and to bring about lasting change.
In particular I have been personally touched by the way that my high school story has resonated amongst parents with teenagers.
Hope. It is really the only thing that can sustain us in amongst the death, destruction and debilitating noise that we face in our world.
Hope gives comfort to parents of a wayward teenager.
Hope can give a pathway to balance for a young professional experiencing burnout.
Hope can lead to stability and confidence for a young dad struggling to balance his priorities.
If you've read any of these posts and feel that they may help someone you know, please send them the link.
Thank you for reading, I am immensely grateful for those who have commented and subscribed to theHealthyGP and 2016 will bring new promise of interesting reading!
Live intentionally, love relentlessly and enjoy your health.

American Muslim Medical Relief Team: 'Ingratitude, Insults Returned after Years of Service'
The Islamic Post
(AMMRT)– "We do not recognize Pakistan as an Islamic country," said American Muslim Medical Relief Team (AMMRT) Field Director, Khalifah Muhammad Atiq Shahid Qadri to the Islamic Post. "They will not even work in the interests of their own people. Funds we could not distribute will be put to good use in charitable and development projects in our homeland, the United States."
During an interview, Mr Atiq Shahid, a New York resident, was expressing his shock that despite his clear intention of revisiting the Pakistan flood crisis and returning to further assist, his request for a 60-day visa was denied. "This is a consistent abuse," said the field director.
He further remarked, "I thank the Pakistan consulate in New York for saving me valuable time, and money," in his quest to distribute the main articles of aid required by the flood victims during the winter. "I didn't think any other 20 million people could be more deserving of aid at this time, but we won't find a shortage at home either," he said.
Mr Atiq Shahid spoke to the Islamic Post before the commencement of his third trip as the head of an AMMRT field unit. The first mission was after the 2005 earthquake, the second at the ravage point of the flood earlier this year. After the initial flood relief efforts, Mr Atiq Shahid returned to the US with his workers, having overseen the disbursement of quilts, donated cash, dry rations, and other necessary items.
However, due to security concerns, that team was unable to distribute items by hand, but were forced to utilize the help of local assistants of good reputation. Donations remained undistributed after the mission and it was Mr Atiq Shahid's obligation to make sure the funds and goods arrived in the hands of flood victims, visiting tent villages and those sheltering in cardboard homes.
However, he was denied the necessary time allotment in Pakistan to do so effectively.
The field director was well aware that during a former Pakistan mission to assist the earthquake victims in 2005, a lot of the relief items brought -extensive equipment, tents, blankets and medical supplies- were suspected by Mr Atiq to have been sold on the black market. This was confirmed after an investigation. Mr Atiq Shahid, manager, at the time, of the team of surgeons and nurses who set up base at in northern Pakistan at the Ayub Medical Complex in Abbotabad, still persevered in the AMMRT mission, and set about ensuring that items would not be stolen from the people again.
Over the years, hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis have helped by American Muslims whenever any help is needed, while most Pakistanis are living on welfare and American Muslim tax payer dollars.
"The Pakistanis in the New York consulate hate us. They hate the American Muslims," said Mr Atiq Shahid. Their spite is manifested and confirmed time and again from their countenances, words and deeds. Such behavior is not the way of any Islam. It is most unfortunate that despite being founded on the richest of cultures in its strict observance Islamic etiquette, the practice of Islam the land of the saints now lies decimated to such a degree.
"It is ironic," said Field Director Khalifa Atiq Shahid, "that Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States (Husain Haqqani) calls on support from smaller groups and private donors in America to help the flood victims, but we arrive at his doorstep and are denied proper time on our visas and even outright insulted, time and again. This is not the first time these things have occurred in that office." Mr Haqqani has also denounced the lack of focus on the dire humanitarian situation of the flood victims, but at the consulate, the same care and attention is lacking.
As an example of the manner in which American Muslims are harassed while in Pakistan, Mr Atiq Shahid mentions how "three years ago the Pakistan consulate issued student visas to four of our lady team members to attend NUML (Pakistan's National University of Modern Languages). But they were so harassed by agencies in Pakistan that they felt compelled to leave the country. Well, by grace of Almighty Allah they are now studying language elsewhere at Jamia al Azhar in Egypt."
Whether to do relief work or for study, American Muslims have shouldered all expenses incurred on their trips abroad. Shockingly, the American Muslim Medical Relief Team received what amounted to no recognition, nor any sign of appreciation from the Pakistani government for their treatment of the many critically injured victims suffering from burns, severe fractures, internal injuries and chronic infections during the earthquake crisis.
Nevertheless, they expect to at least be able to complete their mission in the flood-affected region: helping prevent the spread of disease, and aiding in the general recovery of afflicted areas.
It is well known and acknowledged by the United Nations that tens of millions of people in Pakistan are still living "without basic necessities after their homes and sources of livelihood were washed away or damaged by the floods that swamped the provinces of Khyber, Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan along the Indus River basin following the heavy monsoon rains that began in July." What is to become of them?
The New York consulate would do better to be part of the solution, instead of fostering the current norm of black markets, ingratitude, and the consequent suffering of their own.

Since just last year, four new major American cities (Seattle, Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, and St. Paul) have followed an example set by Berkeley, CA and renamed Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples' Day. In addition to being a landmark decision for long marginalized Native American communities, Seattle's resolution extends all the way to their classrooms. The city's resolution strongly encourages schools in Seattle to teach students about the history of indigenous people and to use the day to celebrate vibrant Native American cultures.
Many states, cities, and local communities have opted to celebrate Native American history and culture in lieu of Columbus Day, and the trend is certainly growing. To help educators celebrate this new and inspiring holiday, here are some ideas for teaching about indigenous peoples as well as educational resources on the topic.
• Stereotypes and Tonto – This lesson from Teaching Tolerance, for grades 6-12, has students discuss how Native Americans are depicted in movies and includes an article as well as a short video titled, How Hollywood Stereotyped the Native Americans.
• Unlearning "Indian" Stereotypes – This short video teaches students about racial stereotypes and the history of Native Americans through the eyes of a young person. This resource is available for purchase through Rethinking Schools.
• Morning Girl by Michael Dorris and Encounter by Jane Yolen – These two books tell the story of Columbus' arrival from the perspective of Taíno children. Morning Girl is for grades 4-6, and Encounter is for grades 3-5.
• The Columbus Controversy – This video, by the Zinn Education Project, tells the history of Columbus' arrival in American and his enslavement of the Taíno. This resource is appropriate for grades 6 and up.
• Native Stock – This website contains over 150,000 stock photos and videos of Native Americans. Images show Native Americans wearing both modern and traditional clothing and engaging in a variety of activities – everything from weaving to skateboarding.
• Pre-Columbian Native People and Technology – This lesson from Teaching Tolerance, for grades 6-12, has students explore the generally accepted belief that before Christopher Columbus arrived in America, the indigenous people were "primitive" or "lacked technology". Through this lesson, students learn that, in reality, Native Americans created sophisticated buildings, culture, and medicine before the arrival of Europeans.
Thank you so much for this info! Can you recommend resources for kids younger than 3rd grade?

Half Million in NC Have COPD
Asthma is considered a risk factor for developing COPD. (Brandy/flickr)
RALEIGH, N.C. – More than 7 percent of North Carolina's population has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD – meaning the state has one of the highest rates in the country.
Experts say the incurable disease, which killed almost 5,000 people in 2015 in the Tar Heel State, often is undiagnosed and left untreated.
Dr. MeiLan Han, volunteer spokeswoman for the American Lung Association, says shortness of breath or frequent incidences of bronchitis both are indicators of the disease.
"Certainly, smoking is a risk factor, but if the patient is also experiencing some of the symptoms, those also would be red flags that they need to talk to their doctor," she states.
Han says the rate of COPD also could be under reported since the test to diagnose the disease – spirometry – isn't used with frequency during doctor and hospital visits.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the chronic illness costs the country upwards of $68 billion annually.
Han says it's important to remember that there are medications that help patients live with COPD – with 60 percent of people with the disease taking at least one medication for it.
"It's not curable but it's definitely treatable," Han points out. "The lung that is destroyed, I have no way of getting it back, but we do have medications that can improve lung function, improve symptoms, as well as reduce the frequency of flare-ups. "
A majority of patients with the illness are over 55 years old, and 8 percent of women in North Carolina have COPD, compared with just under 6 percent of men.

James John Spadorcia
October 9, 1928 - March 20, 2017
James John (Sonny) Spadorcia, age 88, beloved husband for sixty years of Elena (Pizzoferrato) Spadorcia, passed on Monday, March 20 at home with his family by his side. Born October 9, 1928 in Hartford, CT to the late Joseph and Clara (Gesuelle) Spadorcia, Jim was the first of five children. The family grew up on Front Street in Hartford where Jim and the family were extremely proud of their Italian heritage. Jim spoke often of the business his father ran in that neighborhood, and of his own childhood including the many jobs he held as a young boy to help support his family after his father passed. After graduating from Hartford High School, Jim joined the armed forces in 1948 and served in both the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army where he received numerous citations and honorable discharges. He then joined the Aetna Life Insurance Company where he held memberships in the Bridge Club and Men's Club, and worked for 35 years until retirement in 1990. Several years ago, Jim was the recipient of the Boys Scouts' Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedication to the Boy Scouts of America. Jim was a member of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Rocky Hill Seniors. Jim leaves behind to celebrate his life his wife Elena, and his four children and their spouses, Doreen and husband Rick (Cavo), Donna and husband Michael (Giuffrida), Jim and wife Lynn (Spadorcia), and Marie and husband Sal (Lonero). He also leaves his sister Ann (Betancourt), sister-in-law Licia Pizzoferrato, and sister-in-law Dina Pizzoferrato who holds a special place in the Spadorcia family. He also leaves many nephews and nieces. Jim was predeceased by his brothers Joseph and John, and his sister Margaret (Vaccaro). He is survived by his eleven loving grandchildren, Emily and Elena (Ridenour), Jeffrey, Brian, Scott and Laura (Giuffrida), Amanda and Alison (Spadorcia), and Stefen, Damon and Sal (Lonero). He had a special bond with his grandchildren, helping to care for them after his retirement. Throughout the years he was in touch with them through visits, calls and texts, all of which he looked forward to and thoroughly enjoyed. Jim exercised daily, sometimes multiple times, and relished physical fitness. He also enjoyed travel and had many opportunities to visit numerous countries. Known for his infectious smile, intellectual curiosity, and fun loving nature, Jim enjoyed being in the company of family and friends and will be sorely missed by all. Calling hours are Saturday, March 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Rose Hill Funeral Home, 580 Elm Street, Rocky Hill, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. at Corpus Christi Church, 84 Somerset Street, Wethersfield. Burial will follow at Rose Hill Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, for those who wish to do so, the family suggests donations be made to the Parks and Recreation Department, 761 Old Main Street, Rocky Hill, c/o Lisa Zerio in memory of Jim Spadorcia. The funds will be used to beautify the parks in Rocky Hill.

Il Wadi Rum (), anche detto Valle della Luna (), è una valle scavata nei millenni dallo scorrere di un fiume nel suolo sabbioso e di roccia granitica della Giordania meridionale, a 60 km circa a est di Aqaba. È il più vasto uadi della Giordania. Il nome Rum proviene o dalla radice aramaica che significa "alto" o "elevato" o più probabilmente dal nome della perduta città Iram delle Colonne. Per riprodurre la sua pronuncia dialettale locale, si usa anche la trascrizione Wadi Ramm.

Il punto più elevato del Wadi Rum è il monte Jebel Rum () alto 1754 metri, mentre poco più a sud del Wadi Rum, al confine con l'Arabia Saudita, vi è il monte Jebel Umm al-Dāmī (), di circa 1830 m, il più alto monte della Giordania secondo la Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). Nel 2011 è stato inserito tra i beni naturalistici protetti dall'UNESCO come patrimonio dell'umanità.

Storia

Il Wadi Rum ha ospitato insediamenti umani fin dai tempi preistorici (8000 a.C. circa) ed il luogo era noto come Iram. Circa 30.000 incisioni rupestri decorano le superfici di tenera arenaria delle pareti rocciose del Wadi Rum: si tratta di petroglifi realizzati prima dalle tribù di thamudeni, provenienti dall'Arabia meridionale e poi dei nabatei che insediatisi nel Wadi Rum, nel IV secolo a.C., vissero pacificamente coi Thamudeni, adorando le stesse divinità, tra cui Dushara. Questi ultimi, oltre alle testimonianze sotto forma di pitture rupestri e graffiti, hanno lasciato anche alcuni templi.

Greci e romani ne avevano apprezzato i vigneti e gli oliveti, oggi scomparsi, e le pinete di cui rimane traccia sulle vette più alte. Alcuni studiosi islamici ritengono che qui si trovasse il famoso "Ad", descritto nel Corano.

In Occidente il Wadi Rum è diventato conosciuto soprattutto per merito dell'alto ufficiale britannico T. E. Lawrence, che fissò qui la sua base operativa durante la rivolta araba, nel 1917-18, anche dopo la conquista di Aqaba. Negli anni ottanta del XX secolo, una delle più imponenti formazioni rocciose del Wadi Rum fu per questo chiamata "i sette pilastri della saggezza", in memoria dell' opera letteraria di Lawrence, scritta nell'immediato primo dopoguerra. A tutto il 2007, numerosi gruppi tribali beduini arabi abitano il Wadi Rum e l'area circostante, tra cui i B. Zalabiyya e i B. Zuweyda.

Deserto, flora e fauna

Come descritto da Thomas Edward Lawrence, «vasto, echeggiante e simile ad una divinità» (Seven Pillars of Wisdom, libro VI, cap. LXXV), considerato da molti uno dei panorami più strabilianti al mondo, Wadi Rum è un paradiso per gli amanti della natura.

Considerata una delle attrazioni principali della Giordania, questa zona è formata da montagne sabbiose con colorazioni molto varie, che spaziano dal giallo al bianco, al rosso ed al marrone, intervallate da profondi canyon con formazioni geologiche. Il panorama è anche caratterizzato da delicati archi e ponti naturali, nonché da pietre modellate come funghi, intagliate e plasmate naturalmente da anni di vento ed erosione.

Wadi Rum possiede fauna e flora rare ed endemiche. Una grande enfasi è stata messa sulla fauna del Wadi dopo che una ricerca scoprì la presenza dello stambecco, del lupo grigio, della volpe di Blanford, della rara volpe rossa, oltre a quella del gatto delle sabbie. In questi ultimi anni è stato reintrodotta l'orice, un'antilope del deserto, che allo stato selvatico si era estinta nel 1972. Vi si possono trovare, inoltre, specie rare di piccole piante ed erbe come l' Anemone rosso, fiore nazionale della Giordania, che crescono in abbondanza sulla strada. Nelle regioni montuose si trovano piante usate da secoli dai nomadi come medicinali tradizionali e naturali.

Le molte tribù beduine che vivono a Wadi Rum hanno un ruolo che ha un forte impatto sulla sua bellezza. Anche se alcuni ora vivono in case in cemento, la maggioranza ancora veste nel suo abito tradizionale e tiene alle proprie tradizioni, conducendo uno stile di vita nomade in estate, allevando dromedari e capre da cui ottengono il latte, così come tessendo le lane di capra per confezionare capi da indossare durante l'estate.

Nel 1998 Wadi Rum fu dichiarata un'area protetta. Con l'appoggio della Banca Internazionale per la Ricostruzione e lo Sviluppo, della Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, un'Organizzazione non governativa nazionale, patrocinata dalla regina Noor di Giordania, è stato predisposto un piano di conservazione che metteva insieme gruppi di abitanti del luogo per occuparsi del mantenimento dell'area. Questi gruppi operano sotto l'Autorità Economica Speciale di Aqaba; si tratta di una iniziativa pionieristica al fine di ripristinare e salvaguardare i delicati habitat del deserto Wadi Rum dall'azione umana in costante aumento.

Iscrizioni rupestri (petroglifi)

Il Canyon Khazʿali del Wadi Rum è il sito in cui maggiormente sono presenti petroglifi raffiguranti esseri umani e antilopi che risalgono all'epoca dei Thamudeni. Comunque sia i petroglifi che i tumuli funebri punteggiano tutta l'area, significandone l'importanza come territorio di caccia e di ritrovo nei millenni passati. A partire dagli anni settanta, sono stati studiati da una équipe italiana (coadiuvata anche dall'Università di Firenze) diretta da Edoardo Borzatti, con il sostegno di autorità e personalità giordane.
