DESCRIPTION:Values-Based Datalytics for Values-Led Transportation\nAbstract\nAs a profession\, we are consulted by decision-makers in the investment of billions of public dollars and the shaping of cities and regions. These are not typical decisions made on a daily basis\, but ones that will result in permanent consequences for current and future generations to come. So how should decisions be based? It is well understood that they should be based on the values of the societies they serve–values such as safety\, equity\, and sustainability. As modern-day data-driven engineers and planners\, we need to embrace and respect the power of data as the basis of decisions. Therefore\, it is paramount we use values-based data and analytics (or “datalytics”) to support our decision makers in shaping a better future. \nThis seminar will cover concepts of values-based data and illustrate their efficacy through a variety of analytics that convert data into strategic intelligence. \nPresenter: Clark Lim\, PEng\, MASc\, FITE\nClark has three decades of experience in public\, private\, and academic sectors\, specializing in analytical methods and information systems for transportation planning and engineering applications. After completing his graduate research at UBC in driver distraction and attention modelling in the early 90’s\, he work on regional surveys and demand models (“EMME/2”) at what is now called Metro Vancouver. During this time he was part of the team that conceived the idea of a modern governance and funding model\, resulting in the establishment of TransLink and the Major Road Network (MRN). Other capacities at TransLink included Project Manager of the Evergreen Rapid Transit Line planning and consultation process (2004-2006)\, and Program Manager for the Research and Technical Services group. \nCurrently as Principal of Acuere Consulting\, he leads the development of cloud-based applications such as congestion measurement systems\, GHG inventory applications\, and JEDI tools that help clients measure and improve their corporate sustainability and diversity quotient. Annually\, Clark lectures on transportation engineering and planning at UBC as an Adjunct Professor\, and as a Visiting Professor at the University of Piura\, Peru. At UBC\, he led the development of a triple-bottom-line methodology for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Commissioned by the IOC\, this study sought to develop a means to measure the performance of Olympic Games Host Cities to become a positive champion for sustainability and social equity. \nThis experience thus far has cumulated into his recent appointment as a member of the new and exciting ITE Data Committee!

SUMMARY:ITE NA Webinar: Dangerous Goods Route and Truck Route Establishment in Lloydminster
DESCRIPTION:Icebreaker Social: November 3 @ 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: November 3 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nAbout the Presentation \nThe City of Lloydminster\, along with ISL Engineering\, completed a study of the City’s truck routes and dangerous goods routes. The objective was to review and refine options for alternate truck routes and dangerous goods routes within the City and to consult with numerous stakeholders\, provide a comprehensive signage plan\, and an accompanying cost estimate. The project recognized that changes to the truck routes and dangerous goods routes would require engagement between the City and stakeholders throughout the project to ensure that the City balances the needs and objectives of all stakeholders. The lack of standardized methodologies for designating truck routes and dangerous goods routes created the need for developing clear guidelines to direct the City of Lloydminster’s future decisions. Individual evaluation frameworks were developed for truck routes and dangerous goods routes which would allow route options to be objectively evaluated. \nThis presentation will focus on the process of developing the evaluation frameworks\, lessons learned\, and final recommendations for truck routes and dangerous goods routes within the City of Lloydminster\, following the comprehensive city-wide truck route and dangerous goods route review. \nAbout the Speakers \nOlivia Ryan E.I.T. is a Transportation Engineer-In-Training in ISL’s transportation group in Edmonton. Her areas of expertise include conceptual and functional planning of intersections\, corridors\, roadways\, highways\, and interchanges\, in urban and rural environments. She also performs capacity and traffic analysis for individual intersections\, corridors and networks\, and assists in the management of planning projects of varying complexity and scale. \nJames Rogers P.Eng. graduated in 2010 from the University of Saskatchewan with a Degree in Civil Engineering\, James has worked his way from a surveying assistant to the Senior Manager of Capital Infrastructure with the City of Lloydminster. After spending time as a consulting engineer within the private sector\, James made the transition to the public sector to further his career and apply the lessons learned and gained professional practice skills within a municipal setting. Being borne and raised in the City of Lloydminster\, James knew first hand the need to complete the Dangerous Goods Route and Truck Route Establishment project as the benefits it would bring to the City of Lloydminster would be long lasting. \nVirtual Icebreaker Social\nWe will be holding a social from 12:00 to 12:15 PM to provide attendees with the opportunity to mingle just like we would if we were back at the Faculty Club. Participants will be split into breakout rooms to facilitate conversations. This is optional\, anyone who is not interested in the social may log in at 12:15 PM for the webinar.

SUMMARY:GVITE Webinar - Transportation Network Efficiency with Demand Responsive Services
DESCRIPTION:Transportation Network Efficiency with Demand Responsive Services\n Abstract: \nOn-demand dynamically routed transportation systems can provide seamless door-to-door mobility including with multi-passenger trips. Although this is a compelling vision\, there are also potential downsides. This presentation compares the transportation performance of single-occupant and multi-occupant on-demand transportation systems to private vehicle use and standard bus service with fixed routes and timetables. The performance is measured and compared using average journey time\, total vehicle kilometres travelled\, and the number of vehicles that are required to meet demand and performance thresholds. \nTo conduct this analysis\, a flexible generic city model was created. This model was developed with characterises representative of a typical North American city including the arterial street network spacing and travel times\, the population density and travel demand patterns\, and the time-of-day travel demand profile. Using this flexible generic city model\, these performance outcomes are evaluated under several different contexts as the characteristics of the city are varied. PTV Visum/MaaS software was utilized to conduct this evaluation. \nUnder the transportation contexts evaluated (relatively large cities with relatively high travel demand)\, traditional fixed-route transit service substantially outperforms demand-responsive multi-occupant services on the transportation metrics evaluated. The relative benefits of transit service tend to be greater as mode share increases and as the size of the service area increases. \nThese results suggest that when automated vehicle technology becomes commonplace\, for large cities the best use may be in increasing the service frequency of traditional transit services on the arterial street network\, rather than by implementing demand-responsive dynamically routed services. The advantages of on-demand services are highest in smaller service areas with low demand for shared transportation. These services could be used to better connect low density areas to the arterial transit network. \n\nPresenters:\nMatt Taylor\, P. Eng.\, M. Eng.\, PTOE \nMatt is a transportation engineer at Bunt & Associates with a background in travel demand forecasting\, traffic operations analysis\, and transportation design. I lead several R&D initiatives at Bunt to extend our knowledge and expertise in new areas. \nNicolas Moss\, EIT \nNicolas is a civil engineer-in-training with experience working in various public- and private-sector capacities in both the US and Canada. His work with Bunt as a transportation analyst has spanned traffic impact assessments\, travel demand forecasting\, parking and circulation studies\, and transportation demand management programs. \nBunt & Associates \nFounded in 1993\, Bunt & Associates Engineering is one of the largest specialist transportation planning and engineering consulting firms in Western Canada. Our team is represented by over 50 of the finest transportation planners\, engineers\, technologists\, and support staff in the industry.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: Resilience and Sustainability: Critical Elements of a Mobility-for-All Future
DESCRIPTION:Date: December 1\nIcebreaker Social: December 1 @ 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: December 1 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nAbout the Presentation \nTransportation is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize while also increasingly vulnerable to more frequent\, intense\, and widespread disasters. To address these critical challenges\, research is needed to develop strategies that address the impact of transportation on climate change (through sustainability) and the impact of climate change and associated disasters on transportation and communities (through resilience). Moreover\, equity and justice must be fundamental elements of transportation engineering and planning as disadvantaged populations experience disproportionate effects from climate change and disasters. This presentation will focus on transportation resilience\, specifically leveraging transportation to protect people from disasters through evacuations. Following this in-depth discussion of evacuations\, the talk will briefly cover recent and ongoing research projects in sustainability related to shared mobility\, public transit\, and automated vehicles. \nDr. Stephen Wong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental at the University of Alberta. Stephen’s research focuses on the intersection of evacuations\, decision-making\, and shared mobility and works to create more resilient\, environmentally friendly\, and equitable transportation systems. His most recent research has developed empirically driven and equitable evacuation and resilience strategies for governmental agencies to prepare for\, respond to\, and recover from disasters. \nStephen has also conducted research on smart charging programs for electric vehicles\, automated vehicle policymaking\, mobility on demand (MOD) ridehailing and microtransit pilots\, and scenario planning-based recovery of public transit and shared mobility from COVID-19. He was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow\, an Eno Center for Transportation Fellow\, and a Dwight D. Eisenhower Transportation Fellow. Stephen received his Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from UC Berkeley in December 2020. He received his M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley (2016) and a B.S. in Civil Engineering with a second major in Sociology from Johns Hopkins University (2015). \nRegister via the event website https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/resilience-sustainability-critical-elements-of-a-mobility-for-all-future-tickets-211156563967

SUMMARY:2021 ITE Manitoba AGM
DESCRIPTION:ITE Manitoba will be hosting the 2021 Annual Business Meeting on Tuesday December 14th\, at 1:30 pm. This meeting will include a review of the 2021 year\, a financial report and 2022 budget presentation\, and upcoming events for 2022. \nAt the beginning of the webinar\, participants will be split into breakout groups for approximately 10 minutes of networking. \nFollowing the Annual Business Meeting\, Shawn Doyle of Dillon Consulting will be presenting. Shawn has over 30 years of experience in transportation and traffic engineering and planning. He has worked extensively for clients in central\, western and eastern Canada and in the Caribbean and Middle East. Shawn has managed a broad spectrum of technical assignments\, ranging from long-range transportation policy\, to corridor and network planning projects\, traffic and parking planning assignments and detailed traffic operations assessment studies. He enjoys helping communities to create practical\, sustainable transportation systems that will benefit them for years to come. \nShawn’s presentation will be on Multi-Modal Level of Service. Transportation performance measures for vehicles are well-established and understood\, but methods for assessing performance for people walking\, cycling\, and taking transit are less well-developed. In this presentation Shawn will introduce Dillon’s Multi-Modal Level of Service (MMLOS) framework\, which is an integrated system for understanding how well a street or road serves all modes of travel\, and how changes to the street or road may impact performance for each mode.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://meet.google.com/moc-qtnk-dau\n

Join Virtual EventDESCRIPTION:ITE Manitoba will be hosting the 2021 Annual Business Meeting on Tuesday December 14th\, at 1:30 pm. This meeting will include a review of the 2021 year\, a financial report and 2022 budget presentation\, and upcoming events for 2022. \nAt the beginning of the webinar\, participants will be split into breakout groups for approximately 10 minutes of networking. \nFollowing the Annual Business Meeting\, Shawn Doyle of Dillon Consulting will be presenting. Shawn has over 30 years of experience in transportation and traffic engineering and planning. He has worked extensively for clients in central\, western and eastern Canada and in the Caribbean and Middle East. Shawn has managed a broad spectrum of technical assignments\, ranging from long-range transportation policy\, to corridor and network planning projects\, traffic and parking planning assignments and detailed traffic operations assessment studies. He enjoys helping communities to create practical\, sustainable transportation systems that will benefit them for years to come. \nShawn’s presentation will be on Multi-Modal Level of Service. Transportation performance measures for vehicles are well-established and understood\, but methods for assessing performance for people walking\, cycling\, and taking transit are less well-developed. In this presentation Shawn will introduce Dillon’s Multi-Modal Level of Service (MMLOS) framework\, which is an integrated system for understanding how well a street or road serves all modes of travel\, and how changes to the street or road may impact performance for each mode.

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta - The Next Generation of Road Safety Audits: Automated Road Safety Assessment using LiDAR Data
DESCRIPTION:Icebreaker Social: February 2 @ 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: February 2 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nAbout the Presentation \nIt is globally accepted that road collisions represent a major cause of death and exert a huge economic burden on both individuals and governments. Consequently\, efficient methods are required to identify causes of road collisions before making recommendations for mitigations plans. The key to selecting an effective countermeasure\, for an underlying road safety problem\, relies extensively on the ability to accurately identify the factors that might have contributed to a particular location being classified as a high-collision location. This brings the issue of “proper safety diagnosis” to the forefront of any safety mitigation strategy.\nThe current practice of assessing geometric site conditions and identifying potential collision causes relies on physical site visits and on-site observations. Consequently\, several challenges arise. For example\, subjective judgement is introduced due to the reliance on the judgment and opinion of observers. More so\, these conventional methods are both time-consuming and labor-intensive\, thereby\, limiting the implementation of a large-scale diagnosis effort of the entire roadway network.\nWith the significant advances in data acquisition techniques\, there has been a paradigm shift towards extracting roadway features and establishing an inventory of road conditions in an automated and efficient manner. This presentation will demonstrate the value of using LiDAR data in aiding road safety reviews and identifying potential collision causes through the automated safety assessment of roadway conditions. \nAmr Shalkamy holds a Ph.D. degree in Transportation Engineering from the University of Alberta and is currently working with Mott MacDonald in Vancouver. Amr has 10 years of experience in transportation engineering working in both academia and industry\, nationally and internationally.\nAmr’s research focuses on safety-based roadway design and using LiDAR point cloud for road safety and design assessments. Amr has published several research papers in top tier transportation journals. He has also received several awards and support for his research from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada\, Alberta Innovates\, TAC\, Transport Canada\, and the City of Edmonton.

SUMMARY:NACITE March Webinar
DESCRIPTION:From the Netherlands to North America – best practices in multimodal integration\nPresentation Brief \nMany people know the Netherlands for their cycling culture and world class bicycle infrastructure. What is less well-known is the Dutch expertise in multi-modal transportation – connecting people both on foot and on bike with efficient public transit systems. Join us on this webinar as we look to international expertise in the planning and design elements that make for seamless connections between active transportation and public transit. Some of the themes addressed will include active transportation networks and safe street design\, station access by foot and bike\, and bike parking facilities. We will then return to examples in Ottawa and San Diego to learn how these elements are being applied in a North American context and discuss ways to further develop multi-modal transportation hubs. \n \nWayne Gong\, P.Eng. \nAs an Integrated Mobility Specialist in Mobycon’s North American office in Ottawa\, Wayne brings along many years of public sector experience from western Canada to the team – a combination of project management and integrated transportation planning and design. One of Wayne’s proudest accomplishments includes planning and delivering Edmonton’s first residential protected cycling network\, spanning seven neighbourhoods. He also spearheaded various corridor and neighbourhood-wide projects across North America by providing holistic and context-sensitive mobility solutions.

What is less well-known is the Dutch expertise in multi-modal transportation – connecting people both on foot and on bike with efficient public transit systems. Join us on this webinar as we look to international expertise in the planning and design elements that make for seamless connections between active transportation and public transit. Some of the themes addressed will include active transportation networks and safe street design\, station access by foot and bike\, and bike parking facilities. We will then return to examples in Ottawa and San Diego to learn how these elements are being applied in a North American context and discuss ways to further develop multi-modal transportation hubs. \n \nWayne Gong\, P.Eng. \nAs an Integrated Mobility Specialist in Mobycon’s North American office in Ottawa\, Wayne brings along many years of public sector experience from western Canada to the team – a combination of project management and integrated transportation planning and design. One of Wayne’s proudest accomplishments includes planning and delivering Edmonton’s first residential protected cycling network\, spanning seven neighbourhoods. He also spearheaded various corridor and neighbourhood-wide projects across North America by providing holistic and context-sensitive mobility solutions. His in-depth understanding of the project lifecycle and evidence-based approach enable him to work effectively with stakeholders to address their concerns by applying Dutch inspired best practices. Wayne is committed to creating more 15-minute communities where dwellers can safely and comfortably access work/school\, play and socialize without car dependency. \nMary Elbech \nWith a background in active transportation planning from Denmark and the Netherlands\, Mary has over a decade of experience in adapting international best practices to work within a local context.

SUMMARY:ITE Hamilton Section Virtual Speaker Event
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the next Virtual Speaker Event of the ITE Hamilton Section is scheduled for Wednesday March 2nd 2022. \nThis event will include a presentation by Mr. Todd Litman\, Founder and Executive Director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute\, on the many ways transportation planning decisions affect our lives and communities\, with a focus on incorporating health and equity goals into planning. \nShort student presentations will also be made by Mr. Mo Elsayed on Dynamic 4D Discretization and Trajectory Optimization System for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Mr. Gamal Eldeeb on Investigating the Influence of the Built Environment on Transportation Mode Choice. \nThis event has been sponsored by Crozier Consulting Engineers. \n \n\n\n\nDate:\nWednesday March 2nd\, 2022\n\n\nDigital Platform:\nMicrosoft Teams Meeting \nClick on “Join Microsoft Teams Meeting” link in the invite below to join the meeting at the scheduled time.\n\n\nGuest Speaker:\nIntegrating Public Health and Social Equity into Transportation Planning \nPresented by Mr. Todd Litman\, Founder and Executive Director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute \nTodd Litman is founder and executive director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute\, an independent research organization dedicated to developing innovative solutions to transport problems. His work helps expand the range of impacts and options considered in transportation decision-making\, improve evaluation methods\, and make specialized technical concepts accessible to a larger audience. His research is used worldwide in transport planning and policy analysis. \nTransportation planning decisions can affect our lives and communities in many ways. They can determine how and how much people travel\, their ability to access economic and social opportunities\, transportation and housing affordability\, traffic safety\, physical fitness and health\, pollution exposure\, and whether various groups receive their fair share of public resources. This presentation will describe new research which can help understand these impacts and allow communities to better incorporate health and equity goals into planning.\n\n\nStudent Presentations:\nDynamic 4D Discretization and Trajectory Optimization System for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles \nPresented by Mr. Mo Elsayed \nMo is a senior PhD candidate\, researcher and co-instructor at the department of civil engineering\, McMaster University\, Canada. His research interests fall in the integration of autonomous systems with design and multi-objective optimization platforms. His current research under the supervision of Dr. Moataz Mohamed is utilizing algorithms\, energy simulation and kinematics for the development of an integrated optimization and design tool for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles for city transportation applications and large infrastructural projects. His work has been published in the Transportation Research and the IEEE\, he also serves as a reviewer for a number of journals. \nUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being heavily adopted in smart cities and dense urban contexts. This airspace consumerization calls for a unified optimum infrastructure operational model including creation of routes\, traffic design\, maximizing capacity\, and trajectory optimization. This study presents a novel autonomous Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) network design for dense urban contexts. \nInvestigating the Influence of the Built Environment on Transportation Mode Choice \nPresented by Gamal Eldeeb \nGamal is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Civil Engineering\, McMaster University. He is currently working under the supervision of Dr. Moataz Mohamed. His current research focuses on investigating the various factors affecting travel behaviour\, with an emphasis on public transit. Gamal is a sustainable transportation advocate with a huge interest in behavioural modelling\, social psychology\, and data analytics. \nThe study aimed to investigate the role of the built environment attributes and their contextual effects on travel behaviour in the City of Hamilton. The study utilized a dataset of 4739 respondents elicited from an online survey that was part of Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) Public Engagement efforts. The study employed a Nested Logit (NL) model along with a quadratic polynomial trend surface to spatially investigate the determinants influencing mode choice behaviour in the City of Hamilton. We examined the association between the primary mode of travel (dependant variable) and socioeconomic demographics\, trip characteristics\, and surrounding built environment attributes along with their geographic variations as a set of independent variables.\n\n\nTime:\n12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. EST\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NmYwYTJhZjgtZDgyNC00N2ViLWI0OTYtM2NlN2UyYjYyMGZj%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22e40149e0-331e-48fa-a32f-ab5f786d838c%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%220ca3282c-8039-415a-8c0b-86847e6dfaa9%22%7d\n
