DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nWorkshop Description\nStandard practices for traffic signal operations in Canada were designed around a traffic system which only included general motor vehicle traffic lanes and sidewalks. However\, in recent years with a rise in interest in sustainable transportation modes such as cycling and walking\, and an increased emphasis on safety\, Canadian streets increasingly include features such as separate bicycle paths and bus lanes. As a result\, intersections are increasingly including additional features such as fully-protected phases for turning movements\, bicycle phases\, transit phases\, and/or leading pedestrian/bicycle intervals. \nIn this training session\, Narayan Donaldson of Mobycon will lead a training on traffic signal operations practices\, sharing standard practices from the Netherlands that can be implemented within Canada’s current regulations to improve multimodal level of service. \nThe key topics that will be covered include: \n\nPrinciples of traffic signal operations for good multimodal level of service;\nHow to introduce flexibility into signal coordination to reduce delay for non-coordinated movements (i.e. pedestrians\, cyclists and transit)\, while still providing progression for motor vehicle traffic. Topics include permissive periods\, peer-to-peer signal communication\, and platoon detection;\nHow to design motor vehicle\, bicycle\, and pedestrian detection zones to maximize green\nutilization and minimize cycle lengths;\nHow to implement fully-protected turning phases or Leading Pedestrian/Bicycle Intervals efficiently\, leveraging phase order and intersection geometry to reduce lost time between phases; and\nHow to design signal operations to maximize the effectiveness of Transit Signal Priority and minimize its impacts on other users.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nUpon completion of the training\, participants will be able to implement changes to operating procedures which can significantly improve multimodal level of service and/or safety at signalized intersections including: \n\nImplementing permissive periods in signal coordination plans;\nImplementing peer-to-peer communication and/or platoon detection for signal progression\nin variable-cycle-length networks;\nOptimally selecting motor vehicle\, bicycle and pedestrian detector positions\, dimensions\,\nand settings;\nSelecting phase orders to minimize lost time and take advantage of geometric compatibility\nwhen using fully-protected turning phases or Leading Pedestrian/Bicycle Intervals;\nIdentifying intersection geometry characteristics which can enable more efficient signal operations with fully-protected signal phases and/or Transit Signal Priority; and\nDetermining Transit Signal Priority settings to achieve the desired balance between signal coordination\, transit performance\, and delay to other road users.\n\nTarget Audience\nThis training is intended for professionals who work directly with traffic signal operations\, such as traffic signals engineers and technicians\, as well as professionals who influence traffic signal operations such as signal operations managers\, active transportation infrastructure planners/engineers\, transit operations planners\, and other traffic engineers. \nTeam Bios\n \nNarayan Donaldson\nRole: Lead Trainer \nNarayan is a transportation planner with six years of experience in Canada and the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Removing Barriers: A Workshop on Achieving Accessibility in Transportation Systems
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nThis workshop is held over two half-day sessions from 11 am to 3 pm (Eastern Time) / 8 am to 12 pm (Pacific Time) on both Tuesday\, December 5 and Wednesday\, December 6 \nWorkshop Description\nIn an increasingly interconnected world\, the importance of inclusive and accessible transportation systems cannot be overstated. Municipalities across Canada are demonstrating a growing level of support and commitment to expanding transit\, active transportation\, and accessible facilities. However\, in Canada\, there is currently a lack of uniform guidelines for road designers\, planners\, and transportation practitioners to rely on related to designing accessible transportation infrastructure for users of all ages and abilities. Some municipalities and provincial governments across the country have taken the initiative to develop their own accessibility standards and guidelines. In most cases\, these local standards provide limited guidance for incorporating accessibility features for specific types of facilities\, such as transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. \nITE Canada is presenting a new workshop specifically focused on accessibility. The objectives are to provide transportation practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of accessibility in transportation and relevant standards\, guidelines\, and best practices as they currently exist. Insights will be provided on how to integrate them into transportation system planning\, design\, and operation. The training will be divided in two key parts: \n\nPart 1: We will highlight the importance and impact of equitable transportation systems using an accessibility lens. Accessibility is achieved by understanding the needs of end-users\, identifying barriers that currently exist\, anticipating barriers that may arise\, and applying principles of universal design to remove or prevent barriers. By emphasizing the significance of inclusive design principles in establishing equitable transportation networks\, we will help move transportation practitioners from an accommodations and standards mindset to one of accessibility and equity. This section will shed light on the diverse requirements and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs aren’t being addressed through current systems.\nPart 2: The second part of the workshop will emphasize the presentation of accessibility standards and guidelines\, and best practices in accessibility pertaining to specific facility types. These will include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities. Overall\, this training aims to equip transportation practitioners with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively implement inclusive design principles and improve accessibility within transportation systems.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nThe key learning objectives of this training are the following: \n\nGain a comprehensive understanding of universal design principles and their significance in creating equitable transportation networks.\nUnderstand the diverse requirements and unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities\, older adults\, and other transportation stakeholders whose needs are not being addressed through current transportation systems.\nBecome familiar with existing accessibility standards and guidelines and acquire knowledge of best practices in accessibility for specific facility types. These include transit stops\, on-street parking\, controlled pedestrian crossings\, and separated bicycle facilities.\nApply the concepts learned in the training through group exercises to enhance practical understanding and application of accessibility principles.\n\nTarget Audience\nThough accessibility is a specialized area of expertise\, it needs to be considered by a wide range of transportation professionals in their day-to-day practice to promote inclusive\, user-friendly transportation systems. Therefore\, this training would be of interest to a diverse group of professionals\, including road designers\, transit operators\, traffic engineers\, transportation planners\, and others. \nTeam Bios\nAlexandre Nolet\, M.Eng.\, RSP 1 P.Eng.\nAlexandre is a highly experienced professional in the transportation consulting industry\, currently serving as the Director of Transportation Safety and Forensics at TNS.
