SUMMARY:Webinar: Transportation/Land Use Planning in the post pandemic city: what changes should we anticipate
DESCRIPTION:Transportation/Land Use Planning in the post pandemic city: what changes should we anticipate \nThe pandemic accelerated a great many changes\, technological and otherwise. That acceleration\, while dismaying\, presents opportunities and challenges for everyone. The speaker will talk about these changes and provide some context on how to address them. The presentation will be on several short topics: each of which to provide an insight into initiatives you are presently working on in your practices and what you may be confronted with in your work 20 years from now. For example\, when the Province recently exempted “A” and A+” projects from the Environmental Assessment Act\, they changed the framework for the administration of that Class EA\, especially as it relates to Official Plan road classifications. Mr. McKibbon will also focus on what our streets and communities might look like in 20 years time. In his presentation\, he will focus on points like: the future of single family residential zoning; equity where housing is concerned; air quality\, traffic and land use; robotic delivery bots; electrification and automobile ownership\, especially where electric vehicles are concerned. \nGeorge McKibbon is an environmental planner with over 40 years of professional experience in Ontario. He is a Registered Professional Planner and a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners with advanced certification in environmental planning. In addition to working with citizens groups\, First Nations and Treaty organizations\, he has worked for a variety of municipalities\, private companies and Provincial Ministries and Canadian Departments. He is also a sessional lecturer in the W. Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development. He served his profession on several advisory committees and boards including those of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute\, the Canadian Institute of Planners\, the Upstate Chapter of the American Planning Association and the American Institute of Certified Planners. \nThe link to this webinar will be emailed separately to registered attendees prior to the session. Registration closes at the end of the day\, June 13th.\n \n

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

SUMMARY:ITE Hamilton Section: An Interactive Discussion on Active Transportation Work in Ontario
DESCRIPTION:est Speaker:\nKate Whitfield – Principal at Alta Planning and Design \nKate Whitfield is a Professional Engineer and Professional Planner. As a Principal with Alta Planning + Design\, she leads the Canadian operation from Ottawa. Alta is a planning and engineering firm that specializes in multi-modal transportation with a focus on active modes and complete streets. \n \nAn interactive discussion on where Active Transportation work is at in the Province of Ontario \nTogether we will talk AT and explore what we need as a profession. What favorite technical resource would you recommend to a colleague? What is the job market like in Ontario for AT professionals? What are the trends? For instance\, where are cities headed with building protected intersections? Kate will facilitate a discussion among participants. Let’s see where it takes us!\n\n\nStudent Presentations:\nCOVID-19 impacts on Bicycle Traffic in the Town of Milton \nPresented by Anna Davey & Huzefa Ansari \nIn this presentation we will present findings from 24/7 traffic data collected by MioVision in the Town of Milton. Our analysis focuses on twelve intersections within the Town of Milton with full year\, 24/7 traffic counts. We examine ridership trends over the period of August 2019 – July 2020\, present conclusions\, and make recommendations for bicycle facilities on the Main Street corridor if ridership trends persist. \n \nDaily and Monthly Variation of Traffic Data during Various Stages of the Pandemic \nMaggen Louisius and Li Huang \nTurning movement count data has been provided by MioVision on Ontario St in the Town of Milton. This data was used to derive daily and monthly variation factors for the entire year. Based on these variation factors\, we determined a representative day and compared measures of effectiveness (v/c\, LOS) at one of the intersections. Three months were selected to represent various stages of COVID: pre-pandemic\, start of pandemic\, and later stage of pandemic. We plan to share our findings on how much of the intersection’s capacity is used throughout the year based on those three months.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/s_QP6euexwU\n
