Mead & Hunt will present at the 2024 Great Lakes District of Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Annual Meeting in Green Bay, Wisconsin, June 12-14, 2024. The Great Lakes District of ITE includes over 1,900 ITE members in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin, including 27 student chapters. This event draws a wide variety of personnel, including engineers, planners, architects, retired professionals, and technicians.
This year the Great Lakes District ITE and Central District WTS have teamed up to showcase innovations and projects throughout the region. Mead & Hunt is excited to showcase the unique work of our Wisconsin-based traffic engineering professionals. Justin Effinger, along with Brad Verrier of Miovision Technologies, will demonstrate the benefits of leveraging technology to improve the signal retiming process. Joanna Bush will share stories and lessons learned from her experience in leading joint annual preempted railroad crossing inspections in the Midwest. Be sure to come hear their presentations and learn from their unique expertise!
Next Generation Signal Timing Optimization Process using Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures
June 13, 1:30 p.m. | Justin Effinger, Mead & Hunt and Brad Verrier, Miovision
This session will explore the incorporation of Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPMs) into the signal optimization process. ATSPMs are used to create efficiencies, use a larger data set and, overall, create better traffic signal optimization plans at a lower or equal cost when compared to the cost of the traditional signal optimization process.
Railroad Preemption Reviews & Joint Inspections: Lessons Learned from the Midwest
June 13, 3 p.m. | Joanna Bush, PE
This presentation will cover the story of the journey of the development of the joint inspection process, what the process looked like for agencies without records of their preemption operation and share examples of the deficiencies that were identified and how vehicular safety was improved as a result of this statewide effort.
