SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: May 2025 Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:45-Minute Queues? Assessing Travel Benefits and Drawbacks of a New Business Access in Brooks\, Alberta\nA major employer in Newell County\, located outside of Brooks\, Alberta\, generates a daily shift changeover of over 700 employees\, which results in vehicle queues lasting up to 45 minutes as they attempt to exit the facility parking lots. To alleviate this congestion\, an alternative access route has been proposed. \nUsing PTV Vissim\, a detailed traffic simulation was conducted to evaluate the impact of this new route on travel patterns and congestion. The simulation incorporated dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) to model how drivers might alter their route choices in response to different road layouts. This approach allowed for a comprehensive analysis of potential benefits\, such as improved traffic flow\, as well as drawbacks\, such as queue spillback on other parts of the road network. \nJoin us at the luncheon to delve into the findings of this study\, explore the intricacies of using traffic simulations\, and discuss how alternative analysis methods can be used to answer specific and unique traffic questions. \nAbout the Presenter:\nDavid Mason\, P.Eng.\, M.Eng. \n \n  \nDavid Mason is a Transportation Engineer with ISL Engineering and Land Development for 2 years. Originally from Ottawa\, Ontario\, David has worked across different engineering disciplines and has recently completed his master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Alberta. At ISL\, David tackles unique traffic and transportation-related projects\, within the topics of traffic operational analysis\, traffic safety\, transportation master planning and multi-modal infrastructure. \n  \n\nLunch will be served at 11:45 am and the presentations will start at 12:00 pm. \nRegular pricing is active until Monday May 5th. Late registration charges will apply beginning at 11:00 AM May 5.\nPlease note that photos/videos may be taken during the event and may be used internally or for promotional purposes by the ITE Northern Alberta Section. If you do not wish to be photographed\, please contact northernalberta@itecanada.org. \n\nParking Changes Starting Fall 2024!!!\nGuest Parking at the University Club has changed starting August 2024.
