COURSE TITLE: Impact of Exempt Vehicles on HOV Lanes
COURSE NO: C05-012
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Impact of Exempt Vehicles on HOV Lanes
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents information on defining high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane capacity, options for using available HOV lane capacity, and analyzing HOV exemption policies. It examines the potential impact of certain exempt vehicles on the operation of high-occupancy vehicles (HOV) facilities. The possible exempt vehicles examined in this course include environmentally friendly vehicles, and law enforcement, emergency services, and designated public transportation vehicles. It also presents the experience with the use of HOV lanes by these types of exempt vehicles. Finally, it examines the potential issues and approaches for allowing exempt vehicles to use HOV lanes.

 

Traffic congestion continues to be a major issue in metropolitan areas throughout the country. The agencies responsible for the surface transportation system in these regions use a variety of approaches and techniques to address concerns relating to traffic congestion, mobility, and air quality. The use of HOV facilities represents one approach in use or being considered in many urban areas.

COURSE TITLE: Disseminating Traveler Information on Travel Time Reliability
COURSE NO: C02-083
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Disseminating Traveler Information on Travel Time Reliability
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course discusses about the dissemination of Travel Time Reliability (TTR) information using a set of tested Lexicon phrases in order to help road users make optimal travel choices and reduce roadway congestion.

 

Travel time variability is a characteristic of the transportation system that means a traveler’s trip will vary from what is normally expected and will potentially take longer than planned. By helping travelers make travel choices that take into account travel time variability, agencies have the potential to reduce roadway congestion. This reduced congestion has the added benefit of reducing primary and secondary crashes, vehicle emissions, and fuel use, as well as yielding other benefits.

 

Travel Time Reliability (TTR) information includes static data about traffic speeds or trip times that capture historic variations from day to day and enable individuals to understand the level of variability in traffic. A key component to addressing the reliability issue related to urban mobility is conveying this TTR information to system users so that they can make informed decisions about their travel. The challenge for transportation professionals lies in selecting the best means of conveying that information so that it is usable and effective to the traveler and other stakeholders.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers who are interested in helping travelers make better travel choices and in reducing roadway congestion.
Learning Objectives

  • Familiarizing with the concept of Travel Time Reliability (TTR)
  • Learning about field studies conducted in various regions and the obtained results
  • Familiarizing with the deployment of the Travel Time Reliability Lexicon
  • Gaining a general overview of the dissemination of the information to travelers across a broad spectrum of delivery platforms including websites, mobile application designs, graphical messages, and auditory messages

COURSE TITLE: Road Diet Informational Guide
COURSE NO: C04-061
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Road Diet Informational Guide
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the design and post-implementation evaluation of Road Diets, and presents the decision-making process that helps practitioners determine whether Road Diets are a good fit for a certain corridor.

 

Four-lane undivided highways have a history of relatively high crash rates as traffic volumes increase and as the inside lane is shared by higher speed through traffic and left-turning vehicles. One option for addressing this safety concern is a “Road Diet.” A Road Diet involves converting an existing four-lane undivided roadway segment to a three-lane segment consisting of two through lanes and a center two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL). The reduction of lanes allows the roadway cross section to be reallocated for other uses such as bike lanes, pedestrian refuge islands, transit stops, or parking.

 

A Road Diet improves safety by including a protected left-turn lane for mid-block left-turning motorists, reducing crossing distance for pedestrians, and reducing travel speeds that decrease crash severity. Additionally, the Road Diet provides an opportunity to allocate excess roadway width to other purposes, including bicycle lanes, on-street parking, or transit stops.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers who are interested in improving safety and reducing highway fatalities through the use of proven safety countermeasures including Road Diets.
Learning Objectives

COURSE TITLE: Traffic Safety in Marine Terminals
COURSE NO: C01-030
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Traffic Safety in Marine Terminals
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides recommendations as well as descriptions of mandatory safety and health standards to ensure traffic safety in marine terminals.

 

Traffic incidents are a serious problem at marine terminals, where heavy equipment is used to load and unload ships and move freight from one place to another in the terminal. The work is fast-paced, conducted at any time of the day or year, and often performed in inclement weather. Vehicular traffic endangers any worker walking in a marine terminal.

 

Many work-related injuries and fatalities occurring in marine terminals result from traffic incidents. For this reason, traffic-safety controls can help individuals avoid traffic incidents and prevent or reduce work-related fatalities and injuries. In addition, reducing traffic incidents can also increase the productivity of the marine terminal.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers who are interested in learning more about mandatory safety and health standards in order to ensure traffic safety and prevent work-related injuries and fatalities in marine terminals.
