SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: Luncheon - May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Whitemud Landing Major Area Structure Plan (ASP) Transportation Corridor Study\nJoin the ITE Northern Alberta section on May 6\, 2026 for a presentation on this topic from EXP and Leduc County. \nThis presentation presents the findings of the Whitemud Landing Major Area Structure Plan (ASP) Transportation Corridor Study in Leduc County\, Alberta. Unlike conventional planning processes where transportation networks are designed to support pre-established land uses\, this study adopted a reverse approach—using transportation planning as the foundational framework to shape future land development. The study focused on the proposed extension of 170th Street\, a strategic north-south corridor connecting the ASP area with the regional network\, providing access to key destinations including the Edmonton International Airport\, Queen Elizabeth II Highway\, surrounding industrial hubs\, and nearby communities like the City of Edmonton\, the City of Leduc and other communities. \nThrough a comprehensive analysis of regional connectivity\, functional classification scenarios\, extensive coordination with relevant stakeholders\, and traffic modeling\, 170th Street Extension was proposed as a four-lane rural divided arterial. This classification was selected to balance regional mobility with local accessibility\, enabling phased development of the ASP while minimizing environmental and community impacts. The proposed 170th alignment followed Whitemud Creek and was proposed for its ability to optimize developable land\, reduce constructability risks\, minimize creek crossings and avoid conflicts with existing landmarks and infrastructure. \nForecasted traffic volumes and trip generation estimates were used to define access strategies and internal street networks\, ensuring that land use intensity remained within the operational capacity of the proposed transportation infrastructure\, without needing major network upgrades outside of 170th Street. \nThis study demonstrates the value of transportation-led planning in shaping efficient land development considering infrastructure constraints and jurisdictional complexity. \nDATE: Wednesday May 6\, 2026 \nTIME: 11:45am – 1:00pm \nLOCATION: University Club\, University of Alberta\, 11435 Saskatchewan Dr. NW\, Edmonton\, AB \nREGISTRATION: Regular pricing is active until Friday\, May 1.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta Luncheon: Human Factors and Traffic Engineering - May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Title: Bridging Human Factors and Traffic Engineering to Improve Road Safety \nHuman factors play a foundational role in transportation safety\, shaping how road users perceive\, interpret\, and respond to the roadway environment. Despite advances in geometric design\, traffic control\, and safety analysis\, many collisions still arise from mismatches between roadway design and human capabilities or limitations. Modern safety philosophies such as the Safe System and Vision Zero frameworks emphasize creating transportation networks that anticipate real-world human behavior and minimize the consequences of error. \nWhile traditional traffic engineering focuses on geometric design and regulatory compliance\, it can overlook elements such as driver perception\, cognitive workload\, and decision-making. This presentation will demonstrate how integrating Human Factors and Traffic Engineering expertise can improve safety outcomes. Through case studies and applied research\, we will explore how behavioral insights combined with engineering analysis can identify latent risks\, enhance intersection design\, and support the implementation of cost effective countermeasures. \nDate: Tuesday\, May 12\, 2026 \nTime: 11:30am-1:00pm MST \nLocation: Sandman Hotel Calgary\, 888 7 Ave. SW\, Calgary\, AB T2P 3J3 Canada \n==The deadline to register is 5 pm on May 5\, 2026== \n \nPresenter Bios: \n \nJason Kumagai\, M.Sc.\, CCPE\, CHFP – Practice Lead\, Human Factors \nJason Kumagai is Practice Lead of the Human Factors group at 30 Forensic Engineering.
