SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta: Public Transit and a Green\, Inclusive Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 5\nIcebreaker Social: 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: May 5 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nHear about the Canadian Urban Transit Association’s (CUTA) National Transit Recovery Strategy \nDavid Cooper\, Principal of Leading Mobility authored COVID-19\, Public Transit\, and a Green\, Inclusive Recovery Strategy. This strategy was developed to inform discussions with partners in the Canadian Federal Government on the funding and policy support transit agencies need for economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. CUTA’s recovery strategy highlights the choice facing Canada – a choice between a future with more congestion\, transport for those who can afford it\, and higher emissions\, or a future with better connected communities\, more equitable cities\, and real action on climate change. \nThree key themes arose during the development of the recovery strategy. 1) The need for ongoing operating support to keep public transit a safe and convenient transportation option. 2) The goal of continuing to complete transit networks to create fairer mobility options that lower emissions and create middle class jobs. 3) Decarbonizing transit fleets to meet climate goals faster. UITP members from other nations can glean insights on our strategies to build a more green and inclusive recovery focused on continued investment in public transit. \nSince the release of the strategy the Federal Government has committed to the funding recommendations identified throughout this foundational document including up to $4.2 billion towards electrification efforts\, which will assist in deploying 5\,000 zero emission buses across the country and sustained long term capital funding through the creation of the Permanent Transit Fund. Last year also marked Canada’s first ever Federal funding support for transit operating budgets to cover the revenue shortfall from the collapse of ridership during the first wave of the pandemic. The recovery strategy intervenes at a key moment of both uncertainty and opportunity to advocate for the role transit can and should play in Canada’s recovery from the pandemic. The goals and recommendations found in the strategy were designed to align with the Federal Government’s policy priorities on climate change\, economic resiliency\, equity\, and pandemic response. The strategy was developed through significant engagement with transit systems\, businesses\, and external partners. CUTA’s Recovery Task Force overseeing this work consisted of over 20 organizations\, including 16 of the largest transit agencies in Canada including Edmonton Transit Service\, Calgary Transit and Strathcona County Transit. \nClick here for a link to the National Transit Recovery Strategy. \nRegistration link is below. \nAbout the Speakers \nDavid Cooper\, MPl.\, MCIP\, RPP\, Principal\, Leading Mobility Consulting \nOver the past 15 years\, David Cooper has contributed to numerous transformative transportation initiatives across Canada. David is the founder and principal of Leading Mobility\, a transportation planning firm that offers strategic and planning support for public transit\, infrastructure delivery\, stakeholder support\, and government relations projects and initiatives. \nSome of David’s significant transportation contributions include planning the Relief Line Subway and King Street Pilot in Toronto; procurement support for the Broadway Subway Project and development of TransLink’s Battery-Electric bus program in Vancouver; implementation of LRT/BRT expansion and regional transit in Calgary. David recently authored the Canadian Urban Transit Association’s COVID-19 National Recovery Strategy\, a foundational plan which has helped to obtain emergency operational funding to maintain transit service during the acute stage of the pandemic and to secure long term capital funding to position public transit at the centre of economic recovery. \nDavid firmly believes in supporting and facilitating success for new community builders. Through his work teaching as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Calgary\, University of Toronto\, and Ryerson University\, he instructs future planners on transportation policy\, planning processes\, and public consultation. \nDavid’s contributions to city building and transportation have been nationally recognized. He was the recipient of the ‘President’s Award for Young Planner of the Year’ granted by the Canadian Institute of Planners\, the ‘Individual Leadership Award’ from the Canadian Urban Transit Association\, and received Mass Transit’s ‘Top 40 Under 40 Award’ in North America. \nVirtual Icebreaker Social\nWe will be holding a social from 12:00 to 12:15 PM to provide attendees 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 for 12:15 PM for the webinar.

SUMMARY:SAITE May Event - Student Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Design Safe and Efficient Public Transit System in Response to COVID-19\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global community in almost every aspect of society. These impacts have led to continued struggles for organizations and industries to adapt to the new reality imposed on them by the pandemic. A common symptom among industries like transit\, is a downturn in demand for their services often resulting from a lack of rider confidence. The reduction in transit ridership during the pandemic can be attributed to many factors including increased prevalence of working from home (WFH)\, social distancing\, rider apprehension and various other governmental directives. Rider safety as it relates to virus spread has become more important with the prevalence of the COVID-19 and has further increased the need for designs that mitigate the spread of the virus. The purpose of this project was to retrofit or redesign various transit elements specifically within train stations to improve the level of social distancing in these areas as well as quantify the levels of disease transmission risk within stations. This was done using a simulated model of Marlborough station using the software Vissim with various designs implemented within\, the outputs of this design contained certain variables such as pedestrian density and travel time which were then used in a risk function to assess the benefit of these designs in mitigating the risk of COVID-19 disease transmission and compared to the cost of these designs. Final designs were selected after exploring various alternatives using this model and analysis. A critical aspect of this methodology is that the models could be used to monitor further changes to the transit system as well as test other potential designs by simply changing design elements and altering the inputs which allows for greater flexibility and reproducibility. \nAutonomous Mobility on Demand (AMoD)\nWith the advent of autonomous vehicles\, rideshare apps\, and electric vehicles\, a new system of transportation is emerging from the nexus of these three technologies\, called Autonomous Mobility on Demand (AMoD). Autonomous electric vehicles will be integrated as rideshares into the transportation system of cities\, overhauling the dominance of individual owner-driver internal combustion vehicles in cities today. This process will be led by an alliance of different companies such as Tesla (AV and EV)\, Uber (rideshare)\, and Google (AV) with municipalities worldwide. For cities to integrate this new and disruptive technology into transportation networks\, their effects must be analyzed and changes to current networks should be made to optimise the transition. This report outlines the result of quantitatively and qualitatively assessing the effect of AMoD for inner Calgary and makes infrastructure and policy recommendations to develop a future transportation network that enhances quality of life. We developed three pick-up drop-off (PUDO) designs by utilizing researched literature with each design having a unique configuration and layout depending on traffic parameters. We examined potential risks around implementing a project of such a large magnitude\, created curbside designs for PUDO points and assessed their effectiveness\, and mapped out optimized network locations for the various curbside designs provided. A simulation using MATSim was developed to compare the numerical data of a base network and followed up by three different models which were utilized in an iterative process to plot variations of the PUDO locations and street design on a map of the entire network until optimal solutions for both vehicles and pedestrians converged in the indicators of the software output. The final optimized network ensures increased walkability and active mode alternatives\, reclaimed green space\, improved environmental quality\, and increased safety in the network as analyzed by the aforementioned simulation outputs\, cost estimation comparisons\, and reclaimed area measurements.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/508898061\n

SUMMARY:Joint CITE / PIBC Webinar: Doing More with Less: RapidBus Priority Corridors in Metro Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:The CITE BC Interior Section and PIBC’s Okanagan Interior Chapter are excited to bring you a virtual lunch and learn on June 2\, 2021 from 12:00-1:00 pm. \nPresentation Synopsis: \nTransLink recently completed Phase 1 of its RapidBus transit priority program\, consisting of three new and two rejuvenated transit priority corridors in Metro Vancouver. Planning\, engineering\, design\, and construction services for 40 new kilometres of regional mobility improvements were delivered by TransLink and a team from WSP Canada\, Access Planning\, and Nelson Nygaard between Spring 2018 and Fall 2020. \nThe project delivered on its purpose of improving congested transit corridors by installing priority measures and increasing bus travel speeds by 20%\, mostly through more efficient use of existing infrastructure and right-of-way. \nWSP delivered many of the planning and design services for the corridors and will present a holistic picture of the project’s main goals\, constraints\, conflicts\, delivery strategies\, and achievements. This will include a high-level look at the methods used to identify preferred alignments\, specific transit priority features\, and mitigate design conflicts along each of the routes. \nThe presentation will be of interest to anyone interested in improving sustainable mobility outcomes in the Okanagan region. It demonstrates how significant transit priority improvements can be achieved with smarter application of a best practice-focused planning and engineering design approach. \nSpeaker Bios: \nKelly Yang joined WSP’s Transportation Engineering team after completing her civil engineering degree at the BCIT She is developing experience in designing and managing all types of transportation infrastructure including highways and roads\, municipal development works\, pedestrian\, bike\, and transit facilities\, and parking lots through a hands-on approach to learning. \nAlice Zhao joined WSP Transportation Engineering team after completing her civil engineering degree at McGill University in 2019. Her design experience extends to highway\, intersection and railway crossing designs. She is skilled in using Civil3D for modelling corridors and producing sections as well as AutoTURN for swept path analysis. \nMark Merlo manages WSP’s BC Transportation Planning group. He has 25 years of consulting experience in transportation planning and traffic engineering on projects throughout the province and internationally. In recent years he has worked on multi-model projects such as airports\, cruise terminals and transit priority projects. \nRegister here: https://urbansystems-ca.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8SeOFuuBT9Gz_6cuceQYpw

SUMMARY:Southern Alberta Webinar: Deerfoot Trail Study
DESCRIPTION:The City of Calgary (The City) and Alberta Transportation (AT) have been working together to study Deerfoot Trail\, approximately 35 kilometers of provincial highway\, which includes 18 existing interchanges and one future interchange at 128 Avenue NE between the Stoney Trail interchanges in the north and south. \nDeerfoot Trail is Calgary’s oldest freeway\, and the busiest in Alberta. The majority of Deerfoot Trail was built between 1971 and 1982. The principal role of the highway is to provide an efficient\, reliable\, and safe connection for motor vehicle traffic and goods movement within\, as well as to and from\, the city. The City’s population has doubled since 1981 and the aging infrastructure is no longer meeting current travel demand\, resulting in congestion\, unreliability and safety concerns. \nThe purpose of the Deerfoot Trail Study\, which began in 2016\, has been to review the existing and forecasted operating conditions throughout the corridor and develop short\, medium and long-term recommendations to enhance safety and mobility for all users within or crossing the highway facility. The study considered a range of possible freeway management strategies\, including some new to Calgary\, and tested these using forecasted growth out to the 2048 planning horizon. The focus was on making the most of the existing infrastructure\, planning for future growth\, and aligning with the Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP). \nSpeakers: \nKen Curry\, P.Eng.\nVice President\nManager\, Traffic and Transportation Planning\nProfessional Overview \nKen has over 30 years of planning\, traffic engineering\, and design experience across Western Canada and the US. He has participated and led a wide range of multi-disciplinary functional planning and design assignments ranging from large corridor planning studies\, interchange functional designs\, through to ITS applications including several reversible lane systems. \nKen led the transportation planning and traffic engineering input for the Gateway Program in the Metro Vancouver Region which involved the widening of Highway 1 over 35 kilometres and the upgrading of 18 interchanges. This project provided relevant background for the recently completed Deerfoot Trail Study where Ken provided technical direction. \nJeffrey Xu\, MScE.\, P.Eng.\nProject Manager\nProfessional Overview \nJeffrey was Project Manager for the Deerfoot Trail Study project. The study considered a range of possible freeway management strategies to improve safety and mobility in the short-\, mid- and long-term.

Join Virtual EventDESCRIPTION:The City of Calgary (The City) and Alberta Transportation (AT) have been working together to study Deerfoot Trail\, approximately 35 kilometers of provincial highway\, which includes 18 existing interchanges and one future interchange at 128 Avenue NE between the Stoney Trail interchanges in the north and south. \nDeerfoot Trail is Calgary’s oldest freeway\, and the busiest in Alberta. The majority of Deerfoot Trail was built between 1971 and 1982. The principal role of the highway is to provide an efficient\, reliable\, and safe connection for motor vehicle traffic and goods movement within\, as well as to and from\, the city. The City’s population has doubled since 1981 and the aging infrastructure is no longer meeting current travel demand\, resulting in congestion\, unreliability and safety concerns. \nThe purpose of the Deerfoot Trail Study\, which began in 2016\, has been to review the existing and forecasted operating conditions throughout the corridor and develop short\, medium and long-term recommendations to enhance safety and mobility for all users within or crossing the highway facility. The study considered a range of possible freeway management strategies\, including some new to Calgary\, and tested these using forecasted growth out to the 2048 planning horizon. The focus was on making the most of the existing infrastructure\, planning for future growth\, and aligning with the Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP). \nSpeakers: \nKen Curry\, P.Eng.\nVice President\nManager\, Traffic and Transportation Planning\nProfessional Overview \nKen has over 30 years of planning\, traffic engineering\, and design experience across Western Canada and the US. He has participated and led a wide range of multi-disciplinary functional planning and design assignments ranging from large corridor planning studies\, interchange functional designs\, through to ITS applications including several reversible lane systems. \nKen led the transportation planning and traffic engineering input for the Gateway Program in the Metro Vancouver Region which involved the widening of Highway 1 over 35 kilometres and the upgrading of 18 interchanges. This project provided relevant background for the recently completed Deerfoot Trail Study where Ken provided technical direction. \nJeffrey Xu\, MScE.\, P.Eng.\nProject Manager\nProfessional Overview \nJeffrey was Project Manager for the Deerfoot Trail Study project. The study considered a range of possible freeway management strategies to improve safety and mobility in the short-\, mid- and long-term. He has over 25 years’ experience of planning\, design\, construction and project management and has worked for consultants\, Alberta Transportation and The City of Calgary delivering transportation projects. \nSince joined the City’s Transportation Planning group in 2013\, he has successfully delivered several major studies\, including 16 Ave NE FPS\, Airport Trail Upgrade FPS\, and Glenmore Trail East FPS.

SUMMARY:CITE Manitoba Section June Webinar
DESCRIPTION:On June 24th\, ITE Manitoba will be holding a webinar featuring Richard Tebinka & Don McRitchie of WSP Canada Inc. who will be presenting on the Winnipeg South Perimeter project\, and Sushreeta Mishra\, winner of this year’s Kean Lew Memorial Student Paper Competition. The webinar will be hosted by Steven Florko of MORR Transportation Consulting Ltd.\, and ITE Manitoba President. \nWebinar Networking \nWe have decided to try something new with this webinar format – the webinar will begin with approximately 10 minutes of breakout groups. This will give participants the chance to catch up and network for a few minutes before the presentations\, just like the in-person days! \nSpeaker 1 and 2 \nRichard Tebinka is WSP’s Manager – Manitoba Transportation\, and the office lead for the Lombard office. Richard has a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Lakehead University\, and a Master of Applied Science from the University of Waterloo. Richard is a registered Professional Engineer in Manitoba\, Ontario\, and Saskatchewan\, a Fellow of ITE\, and spent 10 years on the Manitoba Section executive. He is a member of TAC’s Mobility Management Committee\, and co-author of a just published TAC report on “Public Engagement in Sustainable Mobility Projects”\, and a Past-President of ACEC Manitoba. \nRichard was the Project Manager for the recently completed “South Perimeter Highway Design Study\, and Functional Design for the Future St. Norbert Bypass” project for Manitoba Infrastructure\, and the Senior Advisor on the current Owner’s Engineer assignment for the Design Build of an interchange and related roadworks at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road). \nDon McRitchie is a Senior Project Manager with WSP Canada with over 40 years of experience in transportation engineering with federal\, provincial and private sector agencies. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Manitoba. Most of his career has been with Manitoba Infrastructure (MI) where his initial focus was construction management. That transitioned into design engineering\, where he was the Senior Detailed Design engineer for the Province with responsibility for design standards\, design studies\, and the review of all transportation designs. \nLater in his career\, Don was the inaugural head of the Capital Projects Branch which had responsibility for the largest capital works and the first alternative delivery projects undertaken in Manitoba. In that role\, Don was the project manager for the South Perimeter Highway Design Study completed in 2020. He is currently the Deputy Project Manager for WSP’s Owner’s Engineer assignment from MI for the Design-Build project for an interchange at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road). \nRichard and Don will be presenting on the South Perimeter Project: \nThe South Perimeter forms the south link of the Perimeter Highway around the City of Winnipeg. It is approximately 42 km in length and travels through four municipalities. Tied to this project is the St. Norbert Bypass\, with travels through a fifth municipality. The Province of Manitoba has committed to examining the South Perimeter to bring it up to freeway standards\, with 22 grade separations\, including interchanges\, river crossings\, and rail grade separations. Currently there is a mix of interchanges\, at-grade intersections\, and at-grade rail crossings. \nThere were a number of challenges along the corridor that needed to be addressed in development of the recommended plan\, including coordinating with a separate Provincial review for short term safety improvements. \nAlternative interchange types were examined\, however\, adjacent constraints often limited the types of interchanges that could be considered. Configurations considered at the various locations included cloverleafs\, Parclos\, trumpet\, diamonds\, diverging diamonds\, and hybrids. \nAddressing the concerns and desires of stakeholders\, such as active transportation proponents\, environmental proponents\, protecting public parks\, a Scouts Canada campsite\, the Seine River (canoe travel\, pedestrians\, cyclists\, and wildlife crossings)\, were among the many challenges. \nSince completion of the study in 2020\, the Province announced the construction of the first new interchange at PTH 100 and PR 200 (St. Mary’s Road) as a design-build project. This presentation will provide an overview of the project and discuss what is planned at the St. Mary’s Road location. \nSpeaker 3 \nSushreeta Mishra is a senior year Ph.D. student in Transportation Engineering (Dept. of Civil Eng.) at the University of Manitoba\, Winnipeg. It’s also her first year as a member and secretary of the ITE University of Manitoba Student Chapter. \nSushreeta’s work experience includes working as a part-time researcher at CUTRIC on an electric bus scheduling project. As a delegate selected from Manitoba for the Young Leaders Summit in Calgary (2019)\, she got a unique opportunity to learn\, showcase ideas\, and network with peers and industry experts in transit and sustainable transportation. Sushreeta’s primary research interest is in transit operations and planning\, and her Ph.D. thesis focuses on optimizing the operation of semi-flexible transit for low-demand conditions. \nSushreeta will be presenting on Stochastic Optimization of Semi-Flexible Transit Operations: \nSemi-flexible transit (SFT) is commonly discussed as a cost-effective alternative to serving public transportation users in low demand conditions. Despite its considerable potential\, implementation of SFT is limited due to two primary operating challenges: (a) fluctuating travel demand and (b) service unreliability. Most researchers recently are rigorously involved in developing complex algorithms and heuristics to handle operational planning issues while a very few focused on optimization of variables for SFT operation involving tactical decision making. Moreover\, the optimization of decision variables are largely based on a single dimension of stochasticity\, demand only. The present study proposes a methodology to optimize two decision variables\, service headway and proportion of requests accepted for curb-to-curb service per trip while operating SFT following a route-deviation operating policy. Implementing stochasticity in both demand and vehicle arrival\, we perform multi-objective optimization with two conflicting objectives as minimization of operator cost and user cost. Pertaining to vehicle delays and demand variability linked to values of decision variables in the Pareto set\, we define the risks associated with selecting each value for attaining Pareto optimality. The risk is proportionate to occurrence of a decision variable value in the Pareto set. The presented methodology can be adopted as a decision support tool to establish planning policies to optimize SFT operation while considering interests of both operator and user. \n \n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://meet.google.com/pbi-pdqs-bhi\n

SUMMARY:APBP Ontario Chapter/ITE National Capital Section: Nepean Bike Trail Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ontario Chapter of the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) and ITE NCS on a fun bicycle ride to explore the recently constructed east portions of the Nepean Trail\, a 5 km cycling corridor that runs parallel to and acts as a quiet alternative to busy Merivale Road. Conceived by Nepean residents and promoted by a candidate ward councillor\, this route was included as an ‘affordable project’ in the 2013 Ottawa Cycling Plan. Consisting of a variety of cycling facility types\, the route illustrates how policy for bicycle planning in Ottawa shifted towards a corridor approach in contrast to the previous piecemeal opportunity-based approach. City staff will be present to answer questions and provide information about the planning\, design and construction of the route. \n \nSpace is limited to 25 people\, with priority to active members of APBP or ITE. If you sign up and will not be able make it\, please let us know so we can free up a spot.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Intersections for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to plan\, design and balance the needs of all transportation modes at intersections\nOffered by: CITE Training Committee \nWorkshop Summary \nIntersections are the location where the highest number of conflicts occur\, making them uncomfortable places for people walking\, biking\, and driving. Communities across Canada and North America have been transforming streets to achieve broader objectives (economic development\, climate resilience) and increase multimodal safety. Many designers have found challenges with how to design the intersections. This training workshop will include intersection design approaches for different contexts (urban\, suburban\, cities\, towns) and will provide transportation professionals with: \n\nBetter understanding of the goals for intersection design to achieve safety and mode share objectives;\nKnowledge of the evidence-based research that underpins these goals and selecting design elements;\nHands-on experience designing intersections with innovative design elements.\n\nThe learning objectives for this workshop are to: \n\nIncrease understanding of evidence-based intersection design approaches and principles;\nIncrease knowledge of design guidelines and industry reference resources;\nApply the training materials to real-world intersections\, working through the design process/trade-offs\, during interactive group design exercises; and\nProvide opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange between participants\, share their own experiences.\n\n \nAbout your Workshop Facilitators \n \n \nTyler Golly\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nTyler is a Professional Engineer\, registered in Alberta and Ontario\, who has planned and designed multimodal transportation systems in Canada\, the United States\, and New Zealand.

SUMMARY:ITE National Capital Section Webinar: Spatial Mapping of Winter Road Surface Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Spatial Mapping of Winter Road Surface Conditions \nPresenters: Dr. Tae J. Kwon and Mingjian Wu \n \nCITE NCS is hosting Dr. Tae J. Kwon and Mr. Mingjian Wu (winner of the 2021 CITE Student Paper Competition) from the University of Alberta to present their research on innovative new methods to more effectively map winter road surface conditions. Join us to learn more about how this research can help improve traffic safety and mobility in winter climates. \nAbstract: \nWinter road surface condition (RSC) is an important factor for both traffic safety and mobility. Due to its high importance\, jurisdictions are actively seeking to improve the RSC of their road network through employing mobile and stationary road weather information system (RWIS) to facilitate their winter road maintenance (WRM) program. One notable feature of these RWIS stations is that they are equipped with cameras that provide users with a direct view of the road; however\, checking the road to determine the RSC via cameras is still being done manually\, which is an inefficient process that prevents the full utilization of these rich images. Additionally\, due to the high installation and operation cost of RWIS\, jurisdictions can only afford to deploy them to a limited number of locations\, resulting in large spatial informational gaps between stations\, which must be filled in to promote safer driving conditions and lower WRM operation costs. The presenters proposed an innovative methodological framework that incorporates both deep learning and geostatistical methods for the continuous mapping of RSC using two types of RWIS. \nDr. Tae J. Kwon joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta as an Assistant Professor in 2016 after receiving his Ph.D. degree from the University of Waterloo with the prestigious doctoral dissertation award. Dr. Kwon’s research focuses on winter road maintenance\, location optimization of Intelligent Transportation System facilities\, geomatics\, spatial and temporal analyses of road traffic and safety using Big Data and Deep Learning. Dr. Kwon has published nearly 60 papers including peer-reviewed journal and conference papers\, project reports and book chapters. Dr. Kwon received the 2019 Great Supervisor Award for excellent supervisory contributions. In 2020\, Dr. Kwon was awarded the 2020 Faculty of Engineering Early-Career Research Award in recognition of excellence in research and his influence at both national and international levels. Dr. Kwon’s research has been supported by many organizations including NSERC\, Alberta Transportation\, Alberta EcoTrust\, Iowa Department of Transportation\, CIMA+\, and others. \nBeginning in January 2020\, Mr. Mingjian Wu started his PhD career in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Dr. Tae J. Kwon after successfully defending his MSc thesis. During his MSc studies\, Mr. Wu focused on quantifying the safety effects of driver feedback sign (DFS) and its location allocation strategies under the co-supervision of Dr. Kwon and Dr. El-Basyouny. During his short tenure as a graduate student at the University of Alberta\, he has published a total of 6 publications. Mr. Wu’s current research interests lie primarily in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analysis in winter transportation engineering (e.g.\, winter road maintenance)\, traffic safety and collision modelling\, and facility location and allocation optimizations using various heuristic algorithms.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/716363365\n

SUMMARY:ITE Northern Alberta Webinar: The Prairie Sky Gondola - Alberta's urban ropeway as a solution to municipal infrastructure challenges
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 6\nIcebreaker Social: 12:00 – 12:15 PM (MDT)\nWebinar: June 2 @ 12:15 – 1 PM (MDT)\nCost: Free \nAbout the Presentation \nThe application of refined gondola technology in an urban setting is nothing new. Throughout Europe\, Asia\, and South America there are many established and successful projects but there are few examples of cities actively developing urban gondola in North America. The Prairie Sky Gondola Inc. (Prairie Sky) project consists of five experiential and commercially programmed urban gondolas stations connecting the most vibrant\, yet divided\, communities in Edmonton on a 2.5km ropeway alignment. The ropeway is an innovative city building initiative responding to the municipality’s climate goals\, fiscal challenges and commitments to Truth & Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples\, while expanding its infrastructure network as it plans for an explosion in population growth. Prairie Sky will also provide a cost-effective utility for urban commuters that complements existing Edmonton Transit Service infrastructure\, establishing a new way for those in the region to experience Edmonton’s river valley\, the largest urban park in Canada \nAbout the Speakers \nGeorg Josi\, P.Eng.\, Ph.D.\, ENV SP\, is a structural engineer and a Partner at Dialog Design in their Edmonton studio. He has worked on numerous urban infrastructure projects\, such as the River Valley Mechanized Access\, the Walterdale Bridge and the Valley Line LRT. His approach to achieving success is equal parts expertise\, enthusiasm\, diligence\, sincerity\, and inspiration. When asked why he assumed the role as VP of Technical Project Development at Prairie Sky he did not hesitate to share\, “I could not turn down this opportunity to meaningfully improve access to our river valley with sustainable transportation technology\, while linking Edmonton’s two major hubs – Downtown and Whyte. \nJeffrey Hansen-Carlson has been leading Prairie Sky Gondola since its inception. He has spent his career in infrastructure capital and development industry in Western Canada. He has a track record of starting city building organizations. As a director at EllisDon Capital he brings finance\, real estate\, and project development expertise to the project. Why did he take the lead? “I had to. This came out of nowhere. It’s special. Not often can private enterprise unlock such a profound public benefit.” \nVirtual Icebreaker Social\nWe will be holding a social from 12:00 to 12:15 PM to provide attendees 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. \n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Workshop: Intersections for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to plan\, design and balance the needs of all transportation modes at intersections\nOffered by: CITE Training Committee \nWorkshop Summary \nIntersections are the location where the highest number of conflicts occur\, making them uncomfortable places for people walking\, biking\, and driving. Communities across Canada and North America have been transforming streets to achieve broader objectives (economic development\, climate resilience) and increase multimodal safety. Many designers have found challenges with how to design the intersections. This training workshop will include intersection design approaches for different contexts (urban\, suburban\, cities\, towns) and will provide transportation professionals with: \n\nBetter understanding of the goals for intersection design to achieve safety and mode share objectives;\nKnowledge of the evidence-based research that underpins these goals and selecting design elements;\nHands-on experience designing intersections with innovative design elements.\n\nThe learning objectives for this workshop are to: \n\nIncrease understanding of evidence-based intersection design approaches and principles;\nIncrease knowledge of design guidelines and industry reference resources;\nApply the training materials to real-world intersections\, working through the design process/trade-offs\, during interactive group design exercises; and\nProvide opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange between participants\, share their own experiences.\n\n \nAbout your Workshop Facilitators \n \n \nTyler Golly\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nTyler is a Professional Engineer\, registered in Alberta and Ontario\, who has planned and designed multimodal transportation systems in Canada\, the United States\, and New Zealand. He has experience leading and implementing multimodal street design guides and has delivered Complete Street and walking/bicycling design projects that have improved safety\, accessibility\, health\, and mobility for people of all ages and abilities and in all seasons. Tyler co-authored the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) Protected Bikeways Practitioner’s Guide and Lecture Series\, contributed to the Integrated Bicycle Design and Integrated Pedestrian Design chapters of the Transportation Association of Canada’s (TAC) Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads\, peer reviewed Auckland’s Bicycle Quality of Service Framework\, and served as technical advisor for ITE’s Implementing Context Sensitive Design on Multimodal Corridors: An ITE Handbook. \n \nRyan Martinson\, P.Eng.\, RSP1 \nRyan is a Professional Engineer registered in Alberta. He has worked on strategic plans\, master plans\, conceptual design\, evaluations\, and safety reviews of projects in North America and New Zealand. Ryan’s work includes being involved in planning and design Complete Streets networks and corridors; developing design guidance for municipalities and agencies; leading training courses on design and planning concepts; developing graduate courses related to sustainability and complexity; participating in research projects related to the built environment; and teaching and mentoring university students. He is keenly aware of how the built environment influences how we use and interact with our surroundings\, and he employs a user-based design approach to infrastructure design\, planning\, and operations. \nWorkshop Format \nThis course will be delivered using online instructional tools over two half-day workshops. The following is an overview of the workshop agenda and topics that participants will explore and engage with: \nDay 1 (3 hours) \n\nWelcome and introductions\nWho are we designing for and what are we trying to achieve?\nDesign parameters to improve safety performance\nDesign Exercise 1: Intersection critique\n\nDay 2 (3 hours) \n\nIntersection design treatments (geometry and timing)\nIntersection traffic control devices (markings and signs)\nDesign Exercise 2: Major street intersection\nDesign Exercise 3: Minor Street intersection\n\nVideo conferencing for this training session will be hosted on Zoom\, which will allow for the material to be shared live and questions from participants to be addressed throughout the workshop. Participants will learn in large and small group formats with the use of break-out rooms to reflect on the course material and collaborate on curated design exercises.

SUMMARY:GVITE Lunch & Learn Webinar - Values-Based Datalytics for Values-Led Transportation
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!\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/119753589\n
