SUMMARY:ITE National Capital Luncheon Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Diverging Diamond Interchanges – A Decade of Lessons Learned \nDiverging Diamond Interchanges\, or DDIs\, are a relatively new interchange that has greatly expanded in prominence over the past fifteen years.  The first DDI in the US opened in 2008 and opened with little fanfare though it would draw hundreds of visiting engineers to tour it in the years after its opening.  This presenter was involved in the post evaluation of that interchange kicking off almost a decade and a half of working on DDIs around the world.  This presentation utilizes over ten years of case studies of DDI projects spanning the globe and will highlight lessons learned that span geometric design\, traffic operations and analysis\, public outreach and education\, and maintenance.  All of the case studies will involve firsthand experience and involvement and provide insight into design and operational issues that have changed the way subsequent projects have been developed.  Case studies will span projects from conceptual development and alternatives analysis to final design to construction and operation.  The lessons learned will specifically highlight elements that can be easily overlooked that have direct safety and operational impacts.  The presentation will also include elements and issues that need to be taken into account on future projects as well as post-implementation comparisons. \nSummary \nThis presentation utilizes over ten years of case studies of Diverging Diamond Interchange projects spanning the globe and will highlight lessons learned that span geometric design\, traffic operations and analysis\, public outreach and education\, and maintenance. \nBio \nMr. Siromaskul‘s DDI experience includes approximately 100 different project sites with over 40 projects carried into the design process\, half of which are open to traffic\, including the smallest DDI in the world in Cheyenne\, WY\, and the largest DDI in the world in Sarasota\, FL.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/nVrdmOiyYA8\n

SUMMARY:What’s New with Ontario Traffic Manual Book 18: Cycling Facilities
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, the Ontario Traffic Council (OTC) and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) released their much-anticipated update to Ontario Traffic Manual Book 18: Cycling Facilities (commonly known as “Book 18”). While the first version of this guide\, published in 2013\, played a key role in shaping the growth of cycling infrastructure across Ontario\, it was quickly overtaken by the rapid pace of change in how cycling facilities are designed and who they are designed for. The second version of “Book 18”\, the cycling design manual for the province of Ontario\, features a major overhaul from the original version with a focus on physically separated infrastructure and advanced safety measures at intersections. This presentation will give a sneak peak into what’s new with OTM Book 18\, including some hot topics and emerging design solutions. \nBio: \nShawn Smith is a Senior Project Manager and engineer with WSP Canada Inc with 20 years of experience leading sustainable mobility projects. Shawn is a design lead in WSP’s Active Transportation\, Trails and Complete Streets Centre of Excellence. Shawn was co-author for the update to OTM Book 18 and continues to serve as a lead trainer for the guide\, delivering full- and half-day training workshops to municipal and consulting staff to build knowledge about the new guide. Shawn has helped train over 500 professionals across Ontario to-date. Shawn currently serves as Vice President of the CITE National Capital Section.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/o1whMVfxdbM\n

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: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:ITE National Capital Section - Transportation Equity Panel
DESCRIPTION:Characteristics like race\, ability\, age\, gender\, sexuality\, income\, class\, and more affect how different people experience travelling to\, from\, and through our communities. They also affect who has access to the various aspects of the transportation system such as frequent transit\, safer cycling infrastructure\, or continuous sidewalks. \nThe events of the last year – including (but not limited to) demands for racial justice\, wealth and class inequalities made more obvious by COVID-19\, and horrific reminders of our history and treatment of Indigenous people –  have sparked many overdue conversations about the unique challenges that members of different social groups face in aspects of their daily lives\, including transportation. Within the transportation industry\, these conversations have led to questions about what transportation professionals can do to improve transportation equity in our communities. \nJoin the National Capital Section (NCS) for a panel discussion on transportation equity in the Canadian context with transportation planning and engineering leaders from across the country. Our panelists will give 10-minute presentations on different aspects of transportation equity\, including \n\nWhy transportation equity is important and how integrating equity into mobility networks makes better communities for everyone;\nHow macro-level policy decisions impact different vulnerable users on the ground;\nHow diversity and inclusion at the project team level and at the decision-making table plays a fundamental role in improving transportation equity; and\nHow projects can help move the needle on improving transportation equity in our communities.\n\nThe presentations will be followed by a Q&A session for the audience. \nPanelists: \nJessica Lamarre – Director\, Safe Mobility\, City of Edmonton \nJessica is the Director\, Safe Mobility for the City of Edmonton. She and her 14\,000 colleagues are dedicated to achieving Vision Zero\, zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries\, through safe and livable streets in Edmonton; a goal that they are well on their way to achieving. Jessica leads a diverse team of rockstars who champion a holistic portfolio of work in support of the City’s Safe Mobility Strategy\, including road safety engineering\, automated enforcement\, planning and evaluation and community activation. At the heart of this work is a commitment to equitable safety and pushing beyond the traditional pillars of safety to facilitate the decisions necessary to achieve a more livable and equitable Edmonton. Jessica holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Alberta\, has worked in both municipal government and post-secondary\, and is currently delighted by replacing vehicle trips with her new e-bike. \nShewkar Ibrahim – Manager of Safe Mobility Engineering\, City of Edmonton \nShewkar Ibrahim is the Manager of Safe Mobility Engineering with the City of Edmonton’s Safe Mobility Section. She has just completed her Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in the area of Transportation Engineering with a focus on Traffic Safety.

SUMMARY:CITE - NCS Event May - Parkways For People
DESCRIPTION:Parkways for People \nOptimizing the use of the right of way for people rather than for vehicles is becoming increasingly important through many lenses.  The COVID-19 pandemic has served as an accelerator for this process\, highlighting the need to provide more space for the active modes of transportation.  As part of a complete response\, the National Capital Commission has provided exclusive access to the Capital’s scenic parkways to create more space for physical and mental well-being. \nBio: \nBruce Devine is the Senior Manager of Facilities and Programs\, Urban Lands and Greenbelt Division with the National Capital Commission (NCC)\, a Crown corporation of the Government of Canada. \nBruce provides leadership for site use of all Capital urban parks\, parkways and multi-use pathways within the nation’s Capital. His team annually issues over 250 event permits\, ranging from major to regional events\, to picnics and weddings. Bruce also manages the operations of the Rideau Canal Skateway and the Weekend Bikedays programs\, both of which contribute to visitors’ experience of the Capital as well as to the residents’ enjoyment. \nBruce brings more than 25 years of experience in major special events management and oversight of municipal sports facility operation and construction. Most recently\, he led the development of the Capital Pathway Strategic Plan as well as implementing NCC’s pilot project of providing up to 20 kilometers of closed parkways to active users. \nRegister via the link below
