Traffic Management Centers Design & Operations
May 17 - 27, 2021 | Online Training
16 Professional Development Hours

Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) have been described as the heart of an agency's mobility management system. In practice, TMCs serve as the technical and institutional hubs that facilitate interagency coordination and integrate a wide range of traffic a wide range of traffic management strategies to achieve the collective goal of providing safe, efficient and sustainable transportation infrastructure. Because of its critical role in the successful operation of a mobility management systems, it is essential that the TMC be planned for, designed, and maintained to allow operators and other stakeholders to anticipate demands placed on the network, initiate traffic control strategies, coordinate their responses to situations and incidents.

10 Professional Development Hours

This course introduces scientific principles for forecasting the benefits of road safety projects. The goal is to estimate and defend reductions in fatalities and serious injuries, to assign dollar valuations to proposed improvements, and to compare these benefits to project or program costs. After projects are completed, a good observational before-after study can evaluate interventions and generate learnings that feedback into the next forecast.

Pavement Management
June 14 - 30, 2021 | Online Training
16 Professional Development Hours

The goal of the on-line training workshop will be to help those working with Pavement Management Systems better understand the damage mechanisms that affect the lifetime of paved and gravel road networks and how they can be monitored with different technologies. Theoretical and practical examples will be given on how organizations adopt more economical proactive maintenance policies. The contents will be based on the latest research results as well as the hands-on experiences of the course instructor.

Practical Data Science for Roadway Professionals
June 15 - July 8, 2021 | Online Training
16 Professional Development Hours

The main goal of this online training is to introduce the fundamentals of practical data science relevant to transportation and roadway experts. Various aspects, such as the use of different data processing tools, data visualization, data mining and artificial intelligence will be discussed through online hands-on tutorials.
Participants will be guided through various interactive course modules and hands-on tutorials to develop skills and knowledge to employ various data science tools on real-world example datasets. Roadway professionals, highway practitioners and local highway agency engineers will learn and benefit from the various aspects of practical data science that can be employed and implemented in their operations.

16 Professional Development Hours

This course will cover the development and use of needs-based ITS architectures to support the planning and deployment of ITS systems. Then it will illustrate the selection and specification of ITS technology standards and their testing to support interoperable systems.


Human Factors in Road Safety
June 21 - 24, 2021 | Online Training
10 Professional Development Hours

This course is about learning to design with the human in mind. The human is the most complex and variable element of the transportation system, but professionals who learn the human's design parameters and how to make infrastructure that is compatible with these parameters will help deliver substantial gains in road safety during the second Decade of Action. The first half of the course provides a theoretical foundation and grounding in understanding human limitations, how humans process information, how humans complete the driving tasks, and how humans end up making errors. The second half translates the theory into practice, helping designers to bring positive guidance, design consistency, and self-explaining roads to their work. The second half of the course will be rich with examples and application-ready lessons.

Project Management for Road & ITS Professionals
July 12 - 21, 2021 | Online Training
16 Professional Development Hours

Project Management is the discipline of keeping projects on schedule, on budget, while also achieving all the projects objectives originally intended. It does this by detecting defects early when they are least costly to fix. For projects with a technology (ITS) component, there is a lot of overlap between project management and systems engineering. The course covers all the key elements of analytical project management as well as identifying the human qualities and skills necessary for project leadership.
