 Traffic
Signal Summer Workshop VII
August 5-10, 2007
|
Spend one week of the summer getting a head start on your
future. Work with industry
professionals using state-of-the-art traffic control equipment
and hardware. |
What's it all about?
Traffic Signal Summer
Workshop provides a fun and productive way to spend five days,
working with traffic controllers, video detection, loop detectors, and
controller interface
devices. Each day of the workshop is filled with brief lectures on new
topics, hands-on
exercises working in teams, and time working with essential signal systems
hardware and software. You will work with traffic engineering
professionals with years of experience in
the field.
You will learn how to
- Gain first-hand experience working with advanced traffic control systems
- Program fixed time and actuated traffic signal controllers
- Use video detection equipment to collect data and control traffic signals
- Build and test a loop detector
- Test a signal timing plan using a real time link between a traffic controller and an advanced simulation model
Why would I be interested?
Today's traffic signal
systems are critical elements of the new Intelligent Transportation
Systems technologies that are appearing throughout the U.S. and the rest
of the world. Government
agencies and consulting firms alike need
engineers with practical experience
using these
technologies.
When you are ready for
that job interview, you will be able to describe your experience at
Traffic Signal Summer Workshop working with traffic engineering
professionals and using
the latest traffic signal software.
When you start graduate
studies, you can count on the background gained from working
with the
latest traffic signal simulation models at Traffic Signal Summer Workshop.
