SUMMARY:Road Safety 365 Web Conference
DESCRIPTION:Reducing the number and severity of crashes on local and rural roadways is a number one priority for most agencies. The FHWA Office of Safety developed “Road Safety 365” to provide local and rural agencies with practical and effective ways to incorporate safety solutions into daily activities and the project development process. \nThis free two-day course\, delivered virtually February 2–3 (8:00-10:00 a.m. PT)\, explores how construction\, maintenance\, and other activities can impact roadway safety and provides practical guidance for improving road safety that is specifically geared to local road projects and day-to-day activities. \nAfter attending training\, you will be able to: \n\nIdentify safety issues unique to local agencies.\nDescribe ways to incorporate and implement practical safety solutions during projects and maintenance.\nIdentify common challenges to improving road safety and list existing resources to address them.\nDescribe practical and low-cost countermeasures to improve safety.\nIdentify methods to inform decision makers about practical ways to improve safety on local roads.\nExplain some of the potential components of a “safety culture” and describe what it means to have a “safety attitude.”\nDemonstrate how to “read the road.”\nDescribe the role of the Strategic Highway Safety Plan and the importance of a Local Road Safety Plan.\n\nThis program is designed for all public works directors\, road and highway supervisors and foremen\, transportation engineers and other safety professionals. Participants will learn practical ways to “read the road” to improve safety and save lives! \n

SUMMARY:Maryland Transportation Technology (T2) Center Seminar: Traffic Calming
DESCRIPTION:The Maryland Transportation Technology (T2) Center is offering this 1-day training seminar instructed by Dane Ismart on the principles and practices of Traffic Calming. This Traffic Calming seminar is designed to present a broad-based understanding of traffic calming philosophy and measures while recognizing and preserving the function of roadways. This course is adapted toward state and local government officials and employees who are charged with enhancing roadway safety. \nThe seminar will focus on the appropriateness and effectiveness of various traffic calming measures as well as the specifics of designing such measures to achieve their desired effect. Attendees will work on a workshop to develop appropriate traffic calming solutions for a neighborhood. Upon completion of the workshop session\, the participants will present their solutions to the class. The goal of the course is that participants will leave with a basic understanding of what traffic calming is\, and what issues are typically encountered when using traffic calming techniques. Students will receive a course notebook.

SUMMARY:NHI 131139: Constructing and Inspecting Asphalt Paving Projects (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Nevada LTAP hosts this four-day virtual course (7:30–11 am PT)\, free to local agencies\, from February 22 to 25\, 2021. \nNational 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. \nThe 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. \nThis course is eligible as a substitute for the NVLTAP Road Scholar elective course\, Asphalt Paving Technology & Maintenance. \nThis 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 are local agency inspectors 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. \nClick here for further information. There are 10 seats remaining. The course is free\, but register soon because this course will fill up fast!

SUMMARY:Olson Engineering Webinar: Geophysical Methods for Assessment of Embankment Dams
DESCRIPTION:Embankment dams and levees can present problems where geophysics can help assess the current state of the structure. The most common failure mechanisms in these earthen structures are internal erosion\, overtopping\, and failure induced from a seismic event. Geophysical methods are most applicable to the internal erosion and seismic induced failures\, while related remote sensing technologies are more applicable to the overtopping issues. Internal erosion can occur when a flow path exists from one side of the dam to the other\, then as the head difference increases\, more material is removed leading to an increase in the diameter of the erosion path until the dam fails. Seismic induced failures are typically tied to earthquakes. In this presentation detection of voids and internal erosion pathways by spontaneous potential (SP)\, electromagnetic induction\, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)\, and ground penetrating radar will be discussed. For assessment of seismic failure risks\, crosshole seismic\, downhole seismic\, and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) will be discussed. For assessment of overtopping failure potential\, LiDAR\, photogrammetry\, and GPS will be briefly discussed as well as slope stability monitoring with interferometric phase radar.

SUMMARY:Minnesota LTAP Webinar: Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation: Products\, Processes\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to provide an overview of the available technology and tools that make implementing an effective asphalt pavement rehabilitation program feasible. A successful pavement rehabilitation program encompasses a full range of rehabilitation strategies as well as maintenance treatments\, with the goal of enhancing pavement performance (ride\, quality\, safety\, service life\, etc.) and life (LCC\, pavement durability). \nThis workshop has recently been updated to provide attendees with the most current information\, tools\, and technologies. It offers attendees guidance through the project development process to provide agencies with the information they need to successfully select\, develop\, and construct the best rehabilitation process for their selected roadways. \nThe training consists of two parts: \n\nPart I will focus on topics relevant to planning\, design\, and pavement management staff.\nPart II will focus on topics relevant to construction and maintenance staff\, as well as project inspection/project management.\n\nEngineers\, managers\, supervisors\, and technicians responsible for pavement maintenance\, design\, and construction are encouraged to attend. \nClick here for further information.
