COURSE TITLE: Signal Timing Optimization
COURSE NO: C05-005
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Signal Timing Optimization
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course examines various cost-effective techniques that can be used to generate good signal timing plans that can be employed when there are insufficient financial resources to generate the plans using conventional techniques. This course develops a "tool box" of procedures and provides examples of how the tool box can be used when there is a moderate signal timing budget, when there is a modest signal timing budget, and when there is a minimum signal timing budget.

 

The conventional approach to signal timing optimization and field deployment requires current traffic flow data, experience with optimization models, familiarity with the signal controller hardware, and knowledge of field operations including signal timing fine-tuning. Developing new signal timing parameters for efficient traffic flow is a time-consuming and expensive undertaking.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to traffic engineers and planners, administrators, managers, and technicians who are trying to maintain the best possible signal timing settings and adjustments to meet the ever-increasing traffic demands with less than optimal budgets.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Identifying system intersections
  • Collecting and organizing existing data
  • Conducting a site survey
  • Obtaining turning movement data
  • Calculating local timing parameters
  • Identifying signal groupings
  • Calculating coordination parameters
  • Installing and evaluating new plans
Course Document

In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the Federal Highway Administration Publication FHWA-HOP-07-006, "Signal Timing on a Shoestring".

COURSE TITLE: Synthesis of Variable Speed Limit Signs
COURSE NO: C05-029
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Synthesis of Variable Speed Limit Signs
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive review of current practice on Variable Speed Limit (VSL) operations, particularly experiences from deployments in the United States, and identifies successful and best practices from the following perspectives: planning and policy, design, deployment, standards, operations and maintenance, and outcomes.

 

Variable speed limit (VSL) systems utilize information on traffic speed, occupancy, volume detection, weather, and road surface conditions to determine the appropriate speeds at which drivers should be traveling, given current roadway and traffic conditions. The use of VSL during less than ideal conditions, such as heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions, can improve safety by decreasing the risks associated with traveling at speeds that are higher than appropriate for the conditions and by reducing speed variance among vehicles.

 

In addition, VSL can be used to dynamically manage speeds during planned (rush hour congestion) and unplanned (incidents) events. Used in conjunction with managed lanes and other active traffic management (ATM) strategies, VSL can respond to downstream congestion to eliminate or delay bottlenecks and mitigate the possibility of crashes.

 

This 5 PDH online course is mainly intended for transportation engineers who are interested in learning about current practices on VSL operations, particularly experiences from deployments in the United States.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Learning about variable speed limit systems used for congestion-based active traffic management, work zones, and weather
  • Learning about the deactivated variable speed limit systems in the United States
  • Understanding the methodology used by research teams in order to gather information on existing, deactivated and planned VSL systems
  • Understanding the key considerations of the implementation of VSL systems including the VSL planning processes, design, deployment, standards and operations, and maintenance
  • Exploring the benefits and challenges of variable speed limit systems
  • Familiarizing with different agencies through interview summaries on the implementation of VSL systems
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, "Synthesis of Variable Speed Limit Signs”, which is based on the Federal Highway Administration “Synthesis of Variable Speed Limit Signs “ document, publication number FHWA-HOP-17-003.

COURSE TITLE: Collaboration Across the Road Weather Enterprise
COURSE NO: C06-021
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Collaboration Across the Road Weather Enterprise
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the best methods and practices for cross agency collaboration and the integration of weather information into daily transportation operations.

 

Weather has a significant impact on the operations of the nation’s roadway system year round. To help improve weather impacts on our roadways, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Road Weather Management Program (RWMP), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Weather Service (NWS) have been working together to document the state-of-the-practice and working relationships between State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and the weather enterprise.

 

The Pathfinder project was initiated to document current State DOT interactions and working relationships with the weather enterprise (both NWS and private sector). The team documented best practices across the agencies to disseminate consistent messages about the weather and its impact on the roads.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers and traffic managers who are interested in learning more about the impact of weather on roadway systems and the best methods for improving the collaboration between State DOTs and the weather enterprise.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Familiarizing with the impact of weather on the nation’s roadway system
  • Familiarizing with the Pathfinder project, its background and the related concepts
  • Learning about applying road weather forecasting in a State
  • Understanding the weather impact on safety, mobility and productivity
  • Exploring collaborative partnerships and relationships between the State and weather enterprise
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Collaboration Across the Road Weather Enterprise”, which is based on the FHWA document “Collaboration Across the Road Weather Enterprise: The Pathfinder Project”, dated December 2016, reference FHWA-HOP-16-086.
