ITE Canada was pleased to host the Undergraduate Student Competition based on the Canadian Capacity Guide for Signalized Intersections (CCG) for many years. The final year of this competition was 2023.
The Canadian Capacity Guide (CCG) was developed by Canadian transportation professionals as a comprehensive guide to planning, designing and evaluating signalized intersections. It was a rigorous methodology ideal for training young professionals and provided transparent reporting for reviewing agencies. The CCG was recognized as a national reference guide by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) and ITE Canada.
In its most recent offering, the competition involved using the CCG and the supporting PTV Vistro software to analyze the operation of a signalized intersection and identify a cost-effective improvement strategy. The exercise could be completed within a few hours, depending on user familiarity with signalized intersection analysis procedures, and provided students with an opportunity to develop and practice technical analysis skills. All input material (including the software) was provided.
The competition was open to undergraduate student members of ITE at a Canadian post-secondary institution. In addition to recognition in the industry, the winners were also awarded cash prizes ($1,000 for first place, $300 for second place, and $200 for third place). The first-place winner also received registration and travel support to the ITE Canada Annual Conference in the year of the award and recognition at the ITE Canada Awards Luncheon.
We extend our many thanks to the generous competition sponsors: Jim Gough, PTV Group, and BA Group.
