SUMMARY:ITE Greater Vancouver: ITE & PIBC Mixer - How Can Transportation Engineers and Planners Move Equity From Rhetoric to Reality?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Tessa Williams (RPP\, MSc) to learn more about the new report “Practices and inspiration for sustainable transportation equity: Case studies from Canadian cities.” Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for networking and discussion with fellow engineers and planners. \nNearly 1 million Canadians live in transportation poverty\, where their ability to access opportunities is limited by inadequate\, unsafe\, or unaffordable transportation options. City builders are recognizing that the way transportation has been planned\, designed\, and delivered is unfair and needs to change. The big question facing the transportation community is no longer whether to take action towards equity\, but how. The Report\, created by a team of transportation practitioners\, equity experts\, and researchers from across Canada\, the report shares promising practices to apply equity throughout the project life cycle\, from policy and strategy to learning and evaluation. The report has been featured by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC)\, Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP)\, and Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP). \nTessa is transportation planner with Urban Systems with over four years of experience across three different provinces. She leverages her unique background in local government and research to contribute to active transportation\, land use\, transit\, parking\, and equity projects. Tessa served as research lead for the PISTE project\, with the goal of developing a report by and for transportation practitioners. \nWednesday\, April 17\n5:30-5:45 people arrive and get settled (in the presentation room)\n5:45-6:30 Tessa presentation and question time\n6:30-8 networking in the FUNK venue \nVenue:\nFUNK. Coffee bar\n1025 Dunsmuir St\, Vancouver\, BC V7X 1M5\nAccessible venue\, steps away from the Burrard Skytrain Station \n$30 ITE Members / PIBC Members\n$20 Student and Public Agency Members\n$40 Non-ITE/PIBC Members \nPrice includes an assortment of light appetizers.

SUMMARY:Multimodal Traffic Signal Operations Training
DESCRIPTION:This session will qualify for PDH credits for attendees. The registration deadline for this event is April 22\, 2024. \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.
