SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: September Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Date: September 19\, 2023 \nTime: 11:30am-1pm \nLocation: Danish Canadian Club (727 11 Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB T2R 0E3) \nCost: \n\n$20 for Public Agency Members\n$35 for ITE members\n$40 for non-ITE members\n$15 for Student ITE Members\n($650 Sponsorship)\n\nPresentation:\n\nOver the past couple years\, Cochrane has been a flurry of activity with improvements to Highway 1A and Highway 22 in full force. Two major projects have been underway: First\, Highway 1A Improvements which included widening from two lanes to four from Centre Ave to First St\, and the realignment of 4th Ave including a major secant retaining wall. Second\, an interchange at the infamous Highway 1A and Highway 22 intersection which includes widening the remaining section of Highway 1A to Highway 22. Two consulting firms have been heavily involved in the design and construction of these long-awaited projects. Urban Systems and ISL. \nUrban Systems is working with the Town of Cochrane and supported by Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (ATEC)\, to widen Highway 1A through the community\, adapting the plans developed by ISL\, and taking it through to construction with the support of Provincial grant funding. This widening has long awaited by the Town and dovetails into ATEC’s major upgrade at the Highway 1A and 22 interchange. \nJohn and Melissa will discuss the Highway 1A Improvements project and the unique features involved when delivering a multiple jurisdictional highway project. They will also cover Urban Systems’ involvement in the Highway 1A/Highway 22 Project enabling works\, the collaborative process employed and unique tasks involved the work. John and Melissa will expand on the out-of-the-box collaborative thinking that got the project off to a successful start for all parties. \nATEC with ISL\, have advanced the interchange construction of Highway 1A and Highway 22\, tying into the Highway 1A Improvements. The interchange will support the growth of the Town\, improve access to this area\, allow efficient movement of goods and people\, and enhance safety. Vamsi and Dominic will discuss the unique challenges presented by the project and lessons learned. \nThese long-awaited projects are being delivered in partnership with Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors and the Town of Cochrane. \nSpeakers: \nUrban Systems \n \nJohn Stevens: John has worked at Urban Systems for 6 years on a variety of transportation and local government projects. These projects include the 88th Street SE Skeletal Road extension\, the Hwy 1A/22 utility relocations project\, and the HWY 1A Improvements project of which the last two will be discussed today. Through these projects John has taken a more prominent role in liaising with the Town of Cochrane and was the project manager for both Hwy 1A Improvements project and Hwy1A/22 utility relocations project. Playing a role in improving these vital transportation connection projects for one of Alberta’s fastest growing communities has been a rewarding process and John looks forward to sharing this project with everyone. \n \n \n \n \nMelissa Henderson: Melissa has worked at Urban Systems for the past 2 years as a civil engineer-in-training. Over these 2 years she has worked on a variety of projects with The Town of Cochrane\, including the Flood Recovery and Erosion Control projects\, and the HWY 1A/22 utility relocations project which will be discussed today. Melissa played a key role in supporting Urban System’s local government team on the Hwy 1A/22 utility relocations project as contract administrator. She is excited to share some of her experiences on the project and how collaboration with ISL and Alberta Transportation \nand Economic Corridors lead to greater success for all parties. \n \n \n \n \nISL \n \nVamsi Surapaneni: Vamsi is ISL’s lead design engineer for the Highway 1A/22 interchange. He developed the now in-construction solution within the constrained space of historic lands\, major utility pipeline corridor\, CPKC tracks\, and Bighill Creek. Thanks to Vamsi\, Cochrane is witness to over one million cubes of earth being moved at this site. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDominic Cheng: Dominic is one of ISL’s long-standing team members involved with the design of Highway 1A from the top of the hill at Gleneagles Drive westward to Horse Creek Road. He has seen the design of Highway 1A/22 evolve from an intersection upgrade to the interchange that is under construction today.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: Canmore Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:Date\nSaturday\, September 16\, 2023 \nSchedule\n\n10:00 am Meet at parking lot\n10:00 am-12:00 pm – Bike tour\n12:00 pm – Lunch Buffet at Iron Goat Lodge: Bar and Grill\n\nNotes\nBikes will not be provided for the tour. Please either bring your own or rent. Bike rental discounts of 20% off regular price are being offered by Rundle Mountain Bike Rental (1-1743 Bow Valley Trail)\, where regular and electric bikes are available. Attendees can book their bikes online ahead of time (only credit card info is needed\, no payment)\, and during pickup/payment mention they are part of ITE Southern Alberta Section Canmore Bike Tour to receive this discount. \nLocation\n500 Benchlands Trail (Parking lot off of Benchlands Trail across from Iron Goat Pub and Grill) \nCost\n\n$20 for Public Agency Members\n$35 for ITE members\n$40 for non-ITE members\n$15 for Student ITE Members\n($650 Sponsorship)\n\nTransportation corridors make up the vast majority of public space in communities. How we allocate and design that space fundamentally influences the way a community looks\, feels and operates. No other aspect of engineering has such a critical role in shaping not just operational aspects of how people move\, but also the social\, economic and environmental outcomes for communities. While the practice of transportation engineering is evolving\, even today the tools and techniques used often result in poor outcomes for communities. While solving short-term vehicle transportation problems\, traditional methods can leave communities with long term congestion\, and safety and accessibility issues. Canmore is unique only in it’s constraints\, and these constraints have forced the community to adopt integrated approaches sooner and more aggressively than most. \nThis tour will lead participants through a range of designs and show where a different set of priorities have been applied. Narrow traffic lanes\, windy roads\, wide paths\, separated bicycle facilities\, raised mid-block crossings\, continuous crossings\, and near-side traffic signals will be highlighted as emerging best-practice. Benefits of the trade-offs between convenience while driving and place-making will be on display throughout\, including in areas where lanes have been narrowed\, turn bays have been removed\, and four-lane cross-sections have been converted to three-lane roads. We will travel by bicycle on some of Canmore’s best and worst infrastructure to experience first-hand being placed in a variety of situations by designers. It is hoped that through this short glimpse into different infrastructure types\, you’ll leave with a strong impression of the impacts that transportation designs can have on the way people travel\, and more importantly\, how community is created by roadway designs. All cycling abilities are welcome! \nTour Lead\n \nAndy Esarte is a civil engineer and graduate of the University of Western Ontario\, and has managed the engineering department for the Town of Canmore for the past 12 years. During that time he has overseen the development of Canmore’s first Integrated Transportation Plan in 2013 and subsequent update in 2018\, as well as Canmore’s first Integrated Parking Management Plan in 2018. Prior to joining the Canmore team\, Andy worked as a project manager for light rail transit projects for the City of Calgary and designed bridges and heavy civil structures in consulting. \nResidents of Canmore since 2013\, Andy and his wife Karen have two young children aged 9 and 11. As a goal\, Andy aspires to creating a transportation network for Canmore that allows for safe and accessible travel by all residents and visitors to Canmore\, regardless of age or ability\, and with equity between travel modes.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: July Luncheon – University of Calgary Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 11th\nTime: 11:30am-1pm\nLocation: Danish Canadian Club (727 11 Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB T2R 0E3)\nCost:\n$20 for Public Agency Members\n$35 for ITE members\n$40 for non-ITE members\n$15 for Student ITE Members\n($650 Sponsorship) \nJoin us for another luncheon presentation at the Canadian Danish Club! This month we will be featuring THREE presentations\, all from the University of Calgary: \nPresentation #1: Use of Crowd Source Data in Transport Planning and Traffic Management_ Intro to MTRADA\nTravel time estimation is an essential element in transport planning and traffic management. The intervention of intelligent transportation systems\, sensors systems and remote sensing methodologies has enabled to estimate travel times in high accuracy. Most of the travel time estimation models in the literature are inductive in nature\, which require vehicle travel time observations for calibration. Obtaining vehicle travel time data is both a time consuming and costly process for a single link and it is impractical to collect this information for all the links across the road network. Hence\, there is a need for travel time estimation models that are low in cost and more robust. Use of crowdsourced data and vehicle tracking techniques has further enhanced the estimation algorithms with accuracy and efficiency where use of google travel time data extracted from Google Distance Matrix API is a novel approach to gather representative information about real-time traffic conditions. \nM-TRADA (https://uom.lk/civil/transportation/software/mtrada) is a Cloud Based data mining platform to collect travel time data using Google map APIs. It was developed in year 2017 by Transportation Engineering Division\, Department of Civil Engineering\, University of Moratuwa. M-TRADA has now been developed in to a fully functional\, verified cloud-based platform. \nThe workshop will cover the methodology to collect travel time data with Google Distance Matrix API using MTRADA nd use of the method in transport planning and traffic management applications. \nBiography\nDimantha De Silva is a Principal Consultant at CPCS. He is also a sessional lecturer at the University of Calgary. Prior to that he was a Senior Lecturer at Department of Civil Engineering at University of Moratuwa. He received his M.Sc. in Transportation Engineering and B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from the University of Moratuwa\, Sri Lanka and completed his PhD in Transportation Engineering from University of Calgary\, Canada. His research interests includes integrated land use transport demand modelling\, Big Data Analytics. \nPresentation #2: Designing Integrated Public Mobility in and Around University of Calgary\n(Description coming soon!) \nBiographies\nJoel Lethaby recently graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and a Transportation Engineering minor. Joel now works for Associated Engineering as a Transportation Engineer-in-Training. Previously\, he completed a 16 month internship with Urban Systems where he was initially exposed to “complete street” style projects working on the Montgomery Main Streets Bowness Road project. This project sparked his passion for safe\, vibrant\, multi-modal streets\, and Joel hopes to work on more projects like this throughout his career. \nEremiahs Fikre is a recent Civil Engineering graduate. He is passionate about all things transportation engineering\, specifically traffic safety. During his undergraduate degree\, he completed an internship at the City of Edmonton with the Safe Mobility Team in which he helped with various initiatives for the Edmonton’s goal of Vision Zero by 2030. He hopes to continue making an impact in the transportation sector. \nKarim Kandil is a Transportation Engineer-in-Training with a strong background in software and technical expertise. Over the past two years at ISL\, Karim has played a role in the planning\, design\, and construction phases of significant urban transportation projects in Calgary and its surrounding areas\, such as the 26 Avenue SW Improvements and Downtown Flood Barrier. Driven by a passion for creating equitable and sustainable transportation networks\, Karim actively seeks innovative solutions that cater to the diverse needs of people of all abilities. Currently\, Karim is engaged in the development of a system that visualizes and analyzes transit performance throughout Calgary\, aiming to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of public transportation in the city. \nPresentation #3: Urban Calgary Student’s Association\nUrbanCSA works to promote connections and community between students\, faculty\, and local professionals. Over the past 8 months the club has tripled its student membership compared to the previous year and grown professional connections in the community. Our presentation highlights some of the major events and collaborations UrbanCSA has organized\, our plans for the upcoming year\, and how professional connects in the Calgary urban-industry vastly improves the post-secondary student experience. \nBiographies\nMax Webber is an Urban Studies student at the University of Calgary with a Minor in Architecture. He is an Executive VP for the Urban Calgary Students’ Association (UrbanCSA) and the Student Representative for Urban Studies within the Department of Geography. Max has spent the last year working with UrbanCSA to create a strong network connecting students and professionals\, and providing actual urban design opportunities for club members. He also works as the Director of Traffic and Development for the community of Southwood\, where he engages residents and addresses local concerns. \nSydney Ikeda just completed her third year in the Urban Studies program at the University of Calgary with a Minor in Economics. She works within the Urban Calgary Student Association as the VP of Marketing\, and is passionate about emphasizing the importance of peer relationships during university. Through UrbanCSA\, she has completed a creative engagement project alongside numerous professionals and students\, which was coined SketchMob.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta Section: June Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:How Community Values Influence Transit Network Design – Coverage vs. Ridership\nTransit agencies are often tasked with two goals: attracting customers (ridership) and ensuring that service available to as many people as possible regardless if they will use it (coverage). Both are important but result in contradictory pressures for network design\, particularly in how an agency’s limited resources must be allocated across an urban area. \nThis creates an inherent trade-off\, where communities consider the relative importance of these two missions against broader societal goals. This can be answered\, in part\, by asking “who is transit for?” \nIn this talk\, Filip Majcherkiewicz (Team Lead of Service Planning\, Calgary Transit) will discuss how the degree to which coverage or ridership is prioritized can influence network design and overall service quality outcomes. \nBiography\n \n \nFilip Majcherkiewicz is a Registered Professional Planner specializing in transit planning. He earned a Master of Planning degree at the University of Waterloo where his research focused on the land use impacts of Calgary’s LRT system. He joined Calgary Transit’s Service Planning division in 2014\, a team he now leads. Filip has led numerous transit service plans\, notably the launch of the MAX Bus Rapid Transit lines in 2018-19. Born and raised in Calgary\, his interests seek to understand the relationship between urban development patterns and travel behaviour\, and how to build multi-modal cities with equitable mobility networks. Outside of work Filip is still working to uncover the mysteries of truly amazing sourdough bread. You can usually find him catching a bus near you.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta: May Technical Tour and Social
DESCRIPTION:The City of Calgary’s Mobility Operations Centre (MOC)\, previously known as the Traffic Management Centre\, uses high-end technologies to maximize the operational efficiency of the City’s road system by monitoring traffic conditions\, executing control actions\, and disseminating information to the public. This includes live traffic condition tweets\, activating dynamic messages signs when needed\, and using pan-tilt-zoom cameras to verify incidents and monitor traffic. The MOC is currently responsible for providing traffic monitoring and incident management\, remote signal time changes and coordination\, traveler information\, Airport trail tunnel monitoring\, and dispatch emergencies. \nIn this tour\, you will get a first-hand look at the recently upgraded MOC. This was the first major space and system upgrade in the last 15 years. These technology upgrades have established the foundation for a smart City Operations Centre that is ready for future connected and autonomous vehicle applications.

SUMMARY:ITE Canada Southern Alberta Section: Advancing Your Career Through Certification
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Your Career Through Certification\nHow can you differentiate yourself in today’s competitive job market? One avenue is demonstrating advanced knowledge and expertise as well as a high level of dedication through the achievement of certification. \nThis webinar will present an overview about the Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE) and Professional Transportation Planner (PTP); Road Safety Professional\, Level 1 (RSP1); and Road Safety Professional Level 2 (RSP2) – certifications offered by the Transportation Professional Certification Board (www.tcb.org). In this webinar\, we will provide in-depth information about the RSP certification. \nThe RSP certification establishes a minimum level of knowledge based on the current state of practice\, encourages professional development and growth by applying new concepts\, and creates an environment for universities to expand their curriculum to produce graduates that are proficient in the field of safety. Certified road safety professionals will be recognized for their knowledge\, experience\, and expertise in road safety. \nWith increasing emphasis being placed on consideration of safety in all aspects of transportation management\, the need to recognize road safety as a distinct discipline becomes evident. In 2016\, the Transportation Professional Certification Board (TPCB) began efforts to develop a Road Safety Professional Certification (RSP). This effort is supported by a broad cross-section of transportation and safety organizations from the United States and Canada and provides two certification levels. This webinar will describe the areas that are covered under RSP Level 1 and RSP Level 2-Infrastructure and Behaviour and how they relate to consideration of safety within an individual’s job. This webinar will also provide the information needed to register and prepare for the certification exams. \nParticipants will also hear about the preparatory resources available through ITE as well as general information about the certification process. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn how certification can benefit your career development and make you more attractive to prospective employers\nThe attendees will become familiar with the certifications offered by Transportation Professional Certification Board (TPCB)\nBecome familiar with the two domain areas of the safety disciplines (infrastructure and behaviour) that form the foundation for the RSP certifications.\nLearn about what is needed to apply for and to take the exam/s for potential certification/s at Level 1 and Level 2\nUnderstand general policies and procedures about the certification process\nLearn about available preparatory resources\n\nPresenter Bio\nGeni Bahar\, P.Eng.\, P.E.\, RSP | NAVIGATS Inc. \nMs. Geni Bahar\, P.Eng\, P.E. (civil)\, RSP2I\, FITE has more than forty years of experience in traffic and road safety engineering. She currently serves as the president of NAVIGATS Inc.

SUMMARY:ITE Southern Alberta Seasonal Patio Program
DESCRIPTION:Seasonal Patio Program\nPrior to 2020\, there were a half dozen restaurants in Calgary that built boardwalks and street patios during the summer months. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit\, and indoor dining was limited\, over 200 restaurants built expanded seasonal patios. Many restaurants communicated the seasonal patios provided a benefit to their business and to the vibrancy of the street\, and seasonal patios would be welcomed “post-pandemic”. The design\, safety and accessibility of seasonal patios has evolved from orange cones\, to boardwalk platforms with integrated public art and greenery. In this talk\, Andrew Sedor (Mobility Initiatives Lead for The City of Calgary) will discuss the history of the program\, and what to expect for the 2023 seasonal patio program. \n \nAbout the Presenter:\nAndrew Sedor works as the Mobility Initiatives Lead at The City of Calgary. Andrew leads the shared e-Scooter and e-Bike program\, the seasonal patio program\, and other innovate projects occurring in The City’s road right of way. In his prior roles\, he led Canada’s first public-facing autonomous vehicle pilot\, authored Calgary’s Future of Transportation Report\, updated bylaws to accommodate new transportation technologies and trends\, launched The City of Calgary’s Living Lab program\, and led the University of Calgary Wearable’s collaboration. Andrew also teaches a course in Urban Planning at the University of Calgary\, and holds a master’s degree in Land Economics from the University of Cambridge.

SUMMARY:Southern Alberta ITE Luncheon - Managing Privacy Considerations for Mobility Data
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Matt Worona \nPresentation Title: Managing Privacy Considerations for Mobility Data \nPresentation Description: Over the last few years\, many Alberta cities have launched scootershare and e-bikeshare programs. With those services has come a rigorous set of data-sharing requirements that allow cities to use trip and route data to evaluate system performance and deliver day-to-day management. Granular data sharing of this kind is likely to grow and encompass more mobility options and aspects of the transportation network. \nWhile this data has many applications for urban planning and understanding the nature of transportation\, it also comes with privacy challenges. Drawing on his experience\, Matt will present the current practice for storing\, using and de-risking shared personally identifiable mobility data for public agencies. \nMatt’s Bio: As a member of the Open Mobility Foundation’s Privacy\, Security and Transparency Committee\, Matt helped write two foundational documents in mobility data governance (the MDS Privacy Guide for Cities and the Privacy Principles for Mobility Data). Matt also developed and launched the first scootershare program in British Columbia while working for the City of Kelowna and brings experience managing the largest global shared micromobility company’s Canadian presence. \nMatt is a highly skilled transportation practitioner with more than seven years experience working on progressive transportation projects across Canada. This includes experience in curb management\, micromobility\, shared mobility\, data governance and active transportation.

SUMMARY:SA ITE January Luncheon and Open House
DESCRIPTION:Open House: \nThis year\, SA ITE is giving the opportunity for its Members at Large to be more involved with the chapter event planning and execution. We will be hosting an open house prior to the luncheon where attendees will be invited to “register” for different event tasks throughout the year. Opportunity to register to present at a specific event will also be provided. \nLuncheon Presentation: \nUrban mobility and last mile logistics is an emerging area for researchers responding to the mandate to build more sustainable cities. Jacob Lamb`s field of study relates to Intermodal strategies for emerging autonomous delivery technology in urban centres. Using Calgary as a case study\, he will discuss how a two-stage cost allocation method with integrated GIS modelling can be used to identify the required number of micro-fulfillment centres in a city\, and where they should be located in order to minimize the costs for a drone delivery service. He will also cover developing approximations for routing methods a “mothership” van can use to deploy a fleet of autonomous sidewalk delivery robots in an urban area. Finally\, Jacob will provide his perspectives on how this tool can be used by public agencies and authorities looking for transparent and defendable approaches to include in their emerging autonomous delivery technology strategies. \n \nLast mile goods delivery and autonomous vehicles have been identified as a disruptive technology in the Calgary Goods Movement Strategy. Canadian cities and towns are already test beds for this technology causing political and societal interest; see Toronto’s recent ban on sidewalk autonomous delivery robots. With Calgary seen as a leader in the micro-mobility space it is only a matter of time until drones\, sidewalk robots\, and autonomous delivery vehicles make it to Calgary’s streets. Jacob hopes this presentation will prepare the community for the arrival of these technologies and equip them with knowledge and some tools to best integrate them peacefully\, safely\, and productively into our city. \nBio for Jacob Lamb\, University of Calgary \nPhD Student of Transportation Engineering at the University of Calgary\, Canada \nAnalyst at Associated Engineering’s Strategic Advisory Services \nJacob Lamb is a PhD Candidate at the University of Calgary\, Canada\, supervised by Professor S. C. Wirasinghe and Professor Emeritus N. M. Waters\, in the department of Civil Engineering. Jacob also works as an analyst at Associated Engineering in the Strategic Advisory Services team focussing on Intelligent Transportation Systems. With his thesis\, in logistics and transportation\, Jacob is integrating the most advanced continuum approximation modeling methods with modern Geographic Information Systems to understand how autonomous vehicles may change the urban goods delivery system. Jacob previously consulted as the Commercial Vehicle Team Lead at the Transition Accelerator\, Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub in 2020\, where he secured demonstrations of fuel cell trucks in Edmonton in 2021. In all areas of work\, he aims to encourage sustainable and transparent business decisions and government policy.

SUMMARY:Understanding and Advancing Equity in Transportation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Meaningful integration of equity in transportation planning and design has rapidly emerged as an important priority for communities across North America. However\, best practices for incorporating equity into transportation projects have not yet been widely developed or shared. ITE International’s newly formed Equity Subcommittee is seeking to develop tools\, advocate\, educate\, and set a leadership example in our profession in making transportation equity a priority and changing the future of mobility for all users. \nThis month’s luncheon will take the form of a collaborative workshop exploring how transportation practitioners can meaningfully incorporate equity considerations into their projects. Mariam Bello (City of Calgary) will present on her experience as part of ITE’s Equity Committee\, and share lessons learned from several equity themed sessions held at the ITE Canada Conference in May. David Sutanto (Steer) will share his experience working in the UK on recommended best practices for incorporating equity considerations into transportation planning projects. \nFollowing the presentations\, we will convene several small group discussions to explore additional sharing\, questions\, best practices\, and what more our ITE Southern Alberta Section can be doing to advance and strengthen equity integration into transportation work. \nEvent Location: Stantec Office Innovation Studio – 200-325 25 St SE\, Calgary\, AB T2A 7H8
