This online engineering PDH course presents information regarding vehicle and pedestrian detection systems used in modern traffic signal control. The material is intended to provide a practical overview of detection types, components and operational characteristics.
Vehicle detection is used for a variety of traffic control purposes. Detectors are used to:
- Count vehicles;
- Operate gates at exits of parking garages and other restricted entrances;
- Control vehicles entering a freeway ("ramp metering");
- Provide incident detection on freeways by measuring speeds and other traffic characteristics;
- Provide Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) for automatic toll collection;
- Provide emergency vehicle detection for use in signal preemption; and
- Control actuated traffic signals.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for traffic engineers and transportation design professionals who are involved in the planning and design of detection systems for traffic signals.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
-
Recognizing the various components of a traffic signal detection system
-
Knowing the effect of detector length and location on signal operation
-
Understanding the advantages of non-locking operation
-
Recognizing the various types of underground and overhead detection
-
Understanding how to calculate the inductance of a loop assembly
-

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

This online engineering PDH course presents information regarding traffic signal controllers along with information concerning the contents, arrangement, and function of items found inside a typical traffic signal controller cabinet. The material is intended to provide a practical overview of controllers and controller cabinets.
A traffic signal is typically controlled by a controller inside a cabinet mounted on a concrete pad. Some electro-mechanical controllers are still in use. However, modern traffic controllers are solid state. The cabinet typically contains a power panel, to distribute electrical power in the cabinet; a detector interface panel, to connect to loop detectors and other detectors; detector amplifiers; the controller itself; a conflict monitor unit; flash transfer relays; a police panel, to allow the police to disable the signal; and other components.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for traffic engineers and transportation design professionals who are involved in planning and designing traffic signal controllers.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Explaining the characteristics of the various controller standards (NEMA, Type 170, ATC)
- Understanding the advantages of the more advanced controller standards
- Knowing the various types of controller cabinets
- Knowing the types of settings programmed into a traffic signal controller
- Explaining conflict monitor operation
- Learning about the operation of detector units and load switches
- Examining the types of electrical panels found inside a controller cabinet
- Learning about the use of the various switches found inside the police panel
