DESCRIPTION:Offered by: CITE Training Committee\nLearn how to plan\, design and balance the needs of all transportation modes at intersections\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 \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. \n \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. Additionally\, this training will incorporate online collaboration using a ‘virtual whiteboard’ platform (Miro) where participants can create a variety of design solutions and evaluate them as a group. \nDates and Times\nThis training workshop will be provided three times throughout 2021 on the following dates: \n\nMonday and Tuesday\, June 14 and 15\, from 1:00PM until 4:00PM Eastern Time SOLD OUT\nTuesday and Wednesday\, September 14 and 15\, from 1:00PM until 4:00PM Eastern Time SOLD OUT\nThursday and Friday\, October 21 and 22\, from 1:00PM until 4:00PM Eastern Time SOLD OUT\nMonday and Tuesday\, November 8 and 9\, from 1:00PM until 4:00PM Eastern Time NEW due to popular demand!\n\nRegistration Fees\n\n$175 per individual student registration\n$200 per individual CITE member\n$250 per individual non-member\n\nWorkshop Capacity = 40 participants maximum per session

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta November Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Alberta Transportation has a reputation for being very rigid and conservative in our standards and approvals. In this presentation\, I will provide examples in and around Calgary where we have shown a willingness to consider or implement improvements that are outside of our usual practice. They are not intended to set a precedent for use in other locations\, but because of the circumstances and the site specific constraints\, they were considered to be the most cost effective solution to address the issues at hand while protecting the safety and operation of the highway. \nBio: \nJerry has been working in the field of transportation planning for the past 31 years in the government sector since graduating from the University of British Columbia with a degree in Civil Engineering. Currently\, he is the Infrastructure Manager for Alberta Transportation responsible for the grants program\, programming\, project scoping\, development control\, and planning studies for the Southern Region.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/KdWq3sUJJ2w\n

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.
