Florida LTAP Webinar: Traffic Engineering Fundamentals Part 3
2020-04-16 07:00 - 09:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The Traffic Engineering Fundamentals training is divided into a 3-part webinar series. This session, on April 16th, is Part 3 of the 3-part series. Part 3 will cover traffic operations.
In the Traffic Engineering Fundamentals 3-Part Webinar Series, the following topics will be covered:

Traffic data and traffic studies – What kind of data do you need to collect and what do you do with it once you have it?
Traffic design considerations for various types of roadways – Why do our roadways and intersections look the way they do and what are some of the options that are out there?
Traffic operational considerations – Once you have designed it and built it, how do you make it all work well?

This training is a high-level overview of the real basic concepts of traffic engineering and is thus ideal for people that are just starting to work in the field, or for people that maybe work in related fields that want to learn the lingo of traffic engineering. One of the things that we aim to accomplish in the workshop is to introduce the various topics and point attendees towards resources where they can learn more if they are interested in additional information.

Free FHWA Webinar: An Introduction to FHWA’s Quadrant Roadway Intersection Informational Guide
2020-04-09 11:00 - 13:00
Alternative intersections and interchanges offer the potential to improve safety and reduce delay at a lower cost and with fewer impacts than traditional solutions. In 2014, the Federal Highway Administration published informational guides for four innovative designs: the Median U-Turn (MUT), Displaced Left Turn (DLT), Restricted Crossing U-Turn (RCUT), and Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI). Recently, a fifth guide has been developed to provide information on the Quadrant Roadway Intersection (QRI).
The QRI concept uses a roadway in one intersection quadrant and three coordinated, signalized intersections to eliminate direct left turns at the main juncture. This allows a reduction in signal phases to improve intersection safety, capacity, and efficiencies. In addition to vehicular operational and safety improvements, the QRI has many multimodal benefits, including shorter and safer crossings for pedestrians and bicycles.
FHWA is pleased to offer this webinar to all Federal, State, Municipal, and Consultant transportation practitioners responsible for or interested in providing innovative solutions at intersections in need of operational, safety, and/or multimodal improvements. The webinar presentation will introduce the QRI Guide and review the information presented in the guide, focusing on intersection operations, safety, various geometric forms, and planning and design criteria to consider when evaluating the QRI as a potential intersection improvement alternative. The presentation will also include information provided from several DOTs that have constructed a QRI in recent years. Certificates of completion for professional development hours (PDHs) will be provided upon request.
Presenters: Jeff Shaw, FWHA Office of Safety Technologies, Guide Technical Manager; Jonathan Reid, Arcadis, Lead Author; Joseph E. Hummer, NCDOT State Traffic Management Engineer; and representatives from State DOTs having implemented the QRI.

National Highway Institute (NHI) 131139 introduces asphalt pavement construction best practices, from the importance of understanding project administration roles and responsibilities to the most vital elements of laydown operations and compaction. Participants learn contract administration techniques, recognize proper construction practices, identify construction issues and their source, determine the impact of construction issues on performance, and select communication strategies for contractors, consultants, and superiors. They can then apply the knowledge and skills to maximize quality on construction projects.
The importance of a proactive approach to managing and inspecting construction projects is emphasized at every stage. This includes quickly addressing problems, implementing corrective actions, and documenting communications between the agency and contractor.
This course is designed for participants who ensure a project is built to the owner’s specifications. Participants can be relatively new to asphalt or general project inspection. Participants with broader experience can also take the course to learn about innovative asphalt pavement construction technologies, participate in class discussions, and share successful practices. The primary audience comprises Federal, State, consultant, and local agency inspectors and contractor personnel who are involved in the preconstruction, construction, and review of asphalt paving projects. Multi-district or region attendance is encouraged to get a broader range of perspectives and ideas.
This course is eligible as a substitute for the NVLTAP Road Scholar elective course, Asphalt Paving Technology & Maintenance.

Webinar: Turbo-Charged, Turbo Roundabout Advancements
2020-01-29 11:00 - 12:30
What’s the difference between a traditional roundabout and a turbo roundabout? The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 from 2:00 to 3:30 ET to answer this question. A turbo roundabout has the same operating characteristics as modern roundabouts but utilizes different geometrics to address the conflicts associated with the common crash types in multilane roundabouts. This webinar will discuss international experiences with turbo roundabouts and identify key considerations for U.S. implementation. The content is based on a technical summary by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The cost is $105.

Free Webinar: Understanding How Women Travel
2020-01-28 12:00 - 12:30
The Eno Center for Transportation is hosting this free webinar. What are the needs and experiences of women traversing LA County? LA County Metro recently released a report, “Understanding How Women Travel,” in a first-of-its-kind effort to answer this question. Developing from Metro’s Women and Girls Governing Council, this study aimed to collect data and offer findings that can help improve women’s safety and comfort on transit and attract and retain women to the Metro system. To ensure a comprehensive approach that captured the diverse needs and experiences of women in LA County, the project team deployed an innovative, mixed-methods approach to capture quantitative data as well as qualitative data from hard-to-reach rider populations including women experiencing homelessness, women immigrants, and women with disabilities. In this webinar, panelists will discuss the origin of the project, the methods used, and the key findings from the study.

Webinar: Smart City Approaches to Traffic Signal Preemption & Priority: The Vendor Perspective
2020-01-28 11:00 - 12:00
This webinar, hosted by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, will highlight approaches to traffic signal preemption and priority that are emerging in the Smart City/Internet of Things (IoT) era. Implementation of centralized applications have been burdened in the past with low bandwidth communications common in older cities. Traditional traffic signal systems were built to limit the need for always on communication, but the availability of lower cost cellular and other connectivity options present new opportunities for delivering improved service to first responders and transit agencies. In this webinar, you will learn about several ways vendors are attacking the problem. A short presentation by each company will follow a facilitated Q&A session by the moderator Peter Koonce, City of Portland. The cost is $99 for members and $149 for non-members.
