SIGNAL TIMING
FUNDAMENTALS -- |
| DATE &
TIME: |
Thursday, February 28, 2:00 p.m.- 3:30 p.m. Eastern |
| SITE FEE: |
$250 ITE Member/ $275 Non-member |
|
PDH/CEU |
1.5 PDH/.15 IACET CEU |
|
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: |
At the conclusion of the course, the participant should be able to: define the
basic traffic signal timing variables of cycle; split and offset; understand the
manner in which they are calculated based on traffic characteristics; identify
three types of signal controllers, including their functional capabilities,
applications, and limitations; understand the relationships between actuated
controller timing and effectiveness; and define the performance measures used
for assessing signal system effectiveness. |

INSTRUCTOR: |
Woody Hood, Chief, Traffic Engineering Design Division, Maryland State
Highway Administration, Hanover, MD, USA
Woody
has been employed by the Maryland SHA since 1982, and has worked in the traffic
engineering field since1987.
Before moving into his current position as Chief of the Traffic
Engineering Design Division, Woody spent the past 15 years as the Program
Manager for the SHA’s Traffic Signal Timing Optimization Program.
That included managing the daily timing and operation of 220 signal
systems containing approximately 1275 traffic signals across the State.
Woody has extensive experience in the timing and operation of closed-loop
traffic responsive systems, and has developed several unique phasing concepts to
improve traffic flow through these systems.
Woody
has been the past Chairman of both the Washington, and Baltimore Regional Signal
Operations Committees, and was a 2003 recipient of the Washington D.C. Section
of ITE, Community Transportation Award. Woody
is currently serving as a peer reviewer for the Federal Highway
Administration’s Traffic Signal Timing Manual, and is participating with the
NTOC in the preparation of the 2nd Traffic Signal Self-assessment. |

SIGNAL TIMING
FOR CONGESTED CONDITIONS -- |
| DATE &
TIME: |
Thursday, March 6, 2:00 p.m.- 3:30 p.m. Eastern |
| SITE FEE: |
$250 ITE Member/ $275 Non-member |

PDH/CEU |
1.5 PDH/.15 IACET CEU |
|
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: |
At the conclusion of the course, the participant should be able to: analyze
field conditions to determine the types of congestion that exist; identify
signal timing countermeasures that can be applied to each type of congestion;
define extreme measures that might be used to ease high levels of congestion;
and list measures other than signal timing that might be applied to further
reduce high levels of congestion. |

TIMING CONCEPTS --REGISTER

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: |
At the conclusion of the course the participant should be able to: define the
different generations of traffic signal control; describe the manner in which
first generation (stored plan) systems operate; explain how traffic responsive
signal control operates, and understand the conditions under which this mode of
control provides more effective operation than time-of-day operation; and
understand the relative advantages and disadvantages of advanced signal control
concepts (adaptive signal control). |
