Traffic Signal Timing Practical Lab
Monday, March 15, 10:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
Credits: 6 PDH/.6 IACET CEU
Registration fee: $50

This course will provide an educational environment that includes a realistic simulation of the operation of an actuated traffic controller consistent with field conditions. This seminar will provide practicing professionals and university students alike with the opportunity to raise their understanding and level of practice concerning the implementation of traffic signal operational parameters. Focus will be on both isolated intersections and coordinated systems, specifically in the areas of controller timing issues not addressed in optimization models; field implementation issues relating to traffic signal timing; efficiency and safety issues relating to traffic signal timing; effect of traffic variation on performance; and interaction of detector design parameters and signal timing parameters.

The course will be conducted in a laboratory environment that provides students with the opportunity to experiment with traffic control system parameters in a systematic manner, and in a realistic environment. A simulation environment also allows participants to vary detector locations and settings, something that is difficult to do in the field.

Intended Audience: Signal technicians who implement signal timings in the field and signal engineers who design, or someday will design, signal timing. This latter group includes university transportation engineering students.

Instructors: Dr. Darcy Bullock, Professor, Purdue University; Peter Koonce, Principal Engineer, Kittelson Associates Inc.

Course limited to 16 participants. Please register early to confirm your space.

Labor Law Issues in Consultant Practices Seminar
Tuesday, March 16 , 1:30 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
Credits: 1.5PDH/.2 IACET CEU
Registration fee: $50

This seminar will focus on labor issues related to managing employees, particularly during challenging economic times. The seminar will be conducted by a labor attorney, on labor laws impacting consultants. It is anticipated that many firms will be hiring part-time retirees and that in these challenging times firms have been modifying work hours, benefits, and salaries to offset reduced revenue. Some employers have been hiring "contract" employees. What aspects of the labor laws should we be cognizant of and how may the law require us to modify our practices?

Intended Audience: Consultant principals and others in management roles in consulting firms.

Instructor: Heidi K. Abegg, Associate, Webster, Chamberlain & Bean, Washington, DC, USA.

Travel Demand Forecasting Workshop
Tuesday, March 16, 10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Credits: 1.5 PDH/.2 IACET CEU
Registration fee: No charge

The workshop will explore travel demand modeling and sustainability at the local level. The discussion will focus on the responses to an industry survey and participant feedback related to what types of questions are being raised by their decisionmakers; what types of analysis tools they have at their disposal; what gaps exist in their analytical ability to answer the questions, and what type of training or research would help transportation professionals to do a better job. The outcomes of the discussion will be used to aid in the efforts of U.S. DOT-FHWA, Environmental Protection Agency, ITE Transportation Planning Council and TRB Committee on Transportation Demand Forecasting.

Facilitators: Kimberly M. Fisher, Associate Director, Technical Activities Division, Transportation Research Board, Washington, DC, USA; Daniel K. Hardy, Transportation Planning Chief, Montgomery County Maryland Planning Department, Silver Spring, MD, USA
Sarah Sun, Transportation Specialist in Planning Office, FHWA, Washington, DC
Don Samdahl, Principal, Fehr & Peers, Kirkland, WA
