Signal Timing Optimization (C05-005)
Traffic Control Concepts for Urban and Suburban Streets (C07-004)
This online engineering PDH course examines various cost-effective techniques that can be used to generate good signal timing plans that can be employed when there are insufficient financial resources to generate the plans using conventional techniques. This course develops a "tool box" of procedures and provides examples of how the tool box can be used when there is a moderate signal timing budget, when there is a modest signal timing budget, and when there is a minimum signal timing budget.
The conventional approach to signal timing optimization and field deployment requires current traffic flow data, experience with optimization models, familiarity with the signal controller hardware, and knowledge of field operations including signal timing fine-tuning. Developing new signal timing parameters for efficient traffic flow is a time-consuming and expensive undertaking.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to traffic engineers and planners, administrators, managers, and technicians who are trying to maintain the best possible signal timing settings and adjustments to meet the ever-increasing traffic demands with less than optimal budgets.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Identifying system intersections
- Collecting and organizing existing data
- Conducting a site survey
- Obtaining turning movement data
- Calculating local timing parameters
- Identifying signal groupings
- Calculating coordination parameters
- Installing and evaluating new plans
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the Federal Highway Administration Publication FHWA-HOP-07-006, "Signal Timing on a Shoestring".

This online engineering PDH course discusses traffic control concepts for urban and suburban streets. In planning and designing a traffic signal control system, one must first understand the applicable operational concepts related to signalized intersection control and signal-related special control. A number of commonly used proprietary traffic systems and simulations are discussed in this chapter. These discussions provide illustrations of the technology.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to transportation planners, traffic engineers, agency personnel as well as design and construction personnel involved with the development, review, approval, implementation, and assessment of traffic control planning, designs and implementation.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the various control variables
- Learning the sampling, filtering and smoothing techniques
- Knowledge of traffic signal timing parameters and signal phasing
- Dealing with isolated intersections
- Understanding arterial and network control and other special controls
- Understanding the benefits and measures of effectiveness
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 3, "Traffic Control Concepts - Urban and Suburban Streets" of the Federal Highway Administration Publication, FHWA-HOP-06-006, "Traffic Control Systems Handbook".
