SUMMARY:ITE Toronto: Webinar - Integrating Traffic Engineering and Human Factors for Safer Transportation Systems - April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Human error contributes to most road collisions\, making human factors a critical element in transportation safety. Modern frameworks like Safe System and Vision Zero focus on designing roads that anticipate driver behaviour and minimize collision severity. While traditional traffic engineering emphasizes geometric design and compliance\, it often overlooks driver perception\, cognitive workload\, and decision-making. This presentation will demonstrate how integrating Traffic Engineering and Human Factors expertise creates solutions that anticipate human behavior and reduce collision risk. Through case studies and applied research\, we will explore how behavioral insights combined with engineering expertise can enhance safety outcomes by identifying latent risks\, optimizing intersection design\, and implementing cost-effective countermeasures. \nDate: Thursday\, April 30\, 2026 \nTime: 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET \nLocation: Online\, link to be shared with registered attendees \nCost: Free \nTickets: Available until 12:00PM on April 30\, 2026 \nPDH Credits: 1 PDH \nSPEAKERS \nMehemed Delibasic\, M.Sc.\, P.Eng. – Vice President\, Transportation & Safety \nMehemed Delibasic\, M.Sc.\, P.Eng. is Vice President of the Transportation & Safety Group at 30 Forensic Engineering and a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple provinces across Canada. He brings more than 27 years of progressive experience across multimodal transportation planning\, detailed design\, construction support\, traffic operations\, and road safety engineering. Throughout his career\, Mehemed has contributed to a wide range of municipal\, regional\, and national transportation projects\, progressing from early stage planning studies through detailed engineering and construction\, and ultimately into independent safety evaluation and forensic engineering. This end to end project experience has fostered a practical\, systems based understanding of how planning\, design\, and operational decisions influence real world safety performance. Mehemed serves as a Road Safety Auditor\, leading Road Safety Audits for major infrastructure projects as well as municipal and regional road safety assignments. His work involves complex\, multi stage assessments of existing and proposed roadways\, intersections\, and active transportation facilities\, often under high risk and operationally demanding conditions. In parallel\, he undertakes traffic safety and road safety forensic assignments\, applying his design and operational background to the evaluation of safety performance\, collision risk\, and contributing factors. Mehemed is actively involved with key industry organizations\, including TAC\, ITE Canada\, and the Ontario Traffic Council (OTC)\, supporting the advancement of industry best practices. \nJason Kumagai\, M.Sc.\, CCPE\, CHFP – Practice Lead\, Human Factors \nJason Kumagai is Practice Lead of the Human Factors group at 30 Forensic Engineering. During his career in Human Factors\, Jason has conducted and managed projects and research in Human Factors in a wide range of industries including energy\, health care\, transportation\, defence\, and mining. Specializing in fatigue risk management\, he has helped companies develop and implement fatigue risk management programs\, including investigations of major accidents. Jason is a certified Human Factors/ Ergonomics professional in both Canada and the U.S. and is nationally recognized for his leadership in Human Factors and Fatigue Management. Jason has served as a regional president of the Association of Canadian Ergonomists\, and president of the Canadian College for the Certification of Professional Ergonomists.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/meet/281297991242601?p=0dEYRPTIVcmaRTOVaL\n
