Developing and Managing a Traffic Signal Timing Optimization Program
Not sure how to develop a traffic signal timing program that fits your agency’s needs or available resources? Join this workshop for a comprehensive overview of what factors to consider when developing a traffic signal timing optimization program including budget, program scope and scale, timing philosophies, data collection needs, and measures of effectiveness. Attendees will gain an understanding of how to evaluate and scale these factors as they develop their own traffic signal timing optimization programs.
Traffic Signal Timing – Theory versus Reality
This webinar will help participants understand the difference between signal timing theory and developing signal timing plans in an office environment, and the differences and realities of dealing with real-world field conditions. Identifying and correcting issues identified in the field will be presented and discussed.
Learning Outcomes:
After completing these courses, participants will be able to:
- Develop a signal timing optimization program that fits their needs and available resources
- Understand the data collection needs for traffic signal timing optimization programs
- Identify measures of effectiveness that are suitable and scalable for their needs
- Identify and address signal timing deficiencies
- Understand the differences between the office (theoretical) environment and the field (real-world) environment
