A one day course aimed at providing an insight into the traffic signals field briefly covering all design related aspects.
Course Objectives:
The course will discuss the various topics without getting into too much detail. The idea is that delegates will go away from the course with a significant amount of basic knowledge, which will enable them to discuss traffic signal related issues more easily with other parties.
Course Outline:
The course covers the definitions and applications of fundamental terms used in traffic signal design which can be grouped into the following main areas:-
· Signal Control
o Stages
o Phases
o Intergreens
o Phase Delays
o Interstages
· An introduction to the Design process - from conception to commissioning
· Basic Signal Design Theory
· A brief introduction to Software Applications
o LINSIG for Windows
o TRANSYT/TranEd
o SigRound
o Microsimulation (VISSIM, Paramics)
· A brief overview of general items
o Detection (loops, Microwave vehicle Detectors)
o Coordination (CLF, UTC, SCOOT)
o MOVA
Intended for:
The course is aimed at Traffic Engineers and Graduates at the beginning of their careers to give them an understanding of the Traffic Signal field.
Course Duration:
1 day (6 hrs) IPD/CPD
Locations:
Fee:
£205 except for Belfast and Glasgow £215 (exc. VAT)
