SUMMARY:ITE Vancouver Island Section Lunch’n’Learn: Public Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Support Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:Topic:\nPublic Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Support Guidelines \nPresenters:\n\nTim Shah\, RPP MCIP Transportation Planner\, Watt Consulting Group\nMaia Carolsfeld\, Electric Mobility Coordinator\, Climate Action\, Capital Regional District\nWyatt Ritchie\, P.Eng.\, Introba\n\nSummary:\nThe Capital Region Public Electric Vehicle Charging Guide\, one of the first of its kind in Canada\, provides guidance for businesses\, property owners\, and local governments to install publicly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in a consistent manner and help expand the charging network in the capital region. The presenters will discuss the key contents of the guide including [a] charging station design guidelines for publicly accessible EV charging stations in several common archetypes and locales in the capital region; [b] information about the science of EV charging station performance data\, which allows site hosts (those who own and manage a station) to understand whether their stations are meeting their organizational needs and objectives; and [c] common considerations that a site host would need to be aware of including the typical regulatory requirements of a local government\, and what to think about when considering a contractor to design and build the EV charging station. \nAs organizations in the capital region (and beyond) continue to look at opportunities to secure funding\, install\, and manage their EV charging stations\, the Capital Region Public Electric Vehicle Charging Guide will serve a valuable resource and help the CRD achieve its charging station targets by 2030 and gradually lower its transportation emissions over time.

SUMMARY:Multimodal Traffic Signal Operations Training
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. \nPlease note: This workshop on November 21\, 2023 is sold out. Thank you for your interest! As least two more virtual sessions of this training will be offered\, to be announced on itecanada.org\, our social media channels\, and email list. \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.
