Basic Traffic Signal Theory and operation:
This workshop will address the practical
use and operation of all traffic signal equipment.
Highlights include:
-
Theory of traffic signal operation and
design
-
Traffic control components and
how they work
-
Basic Circuitry, Fault Identification
and Maintenance
The familiarization of traffic signal components
and how they operate as a system will be emphasized. All equipment
is shown in a hands on manner, with operating displays and practical
demonstrations. This will be a visual class for everyone, especially
for the department manager, safety administrator, or the new municipal
technician.
NEMA TS2 Traffic Controller Programming
and Operation
This class is an intermediate technical
class.
Highlights include:
-
Advanced features and functions of NEMA
TS2 control equipment
-
Set up and Programming and Operation
-
Design considerations and practical
applications
The newest NEMA TS2 control equipment will be demonstrated.
Capabilities, programming, operational standards and design requirements
of this equipment will be discussed and displayed. This class
is recommended for traffic technicians and engineers to get familiar
with TS2, as the new standard of traffic control equipment
.
Optical Pre-emption/Video
Detection
This two-part class is for any agency contemplating
upgrading vehicle detection to handle increased traffic volumes
efficiently and economically, or to safely improve emergency response
times. Public safety officials, traffic engineers and technicians
will have demonstrations on how to get the best operation out
of their signal systems using both normal and priority detection.
The first class will cover Priority Optical Emergency
Pre-emption. System features, software and hardware integration
with traffic controllers will be reviewed. Operational considerations,
set up and installation variables will be demonstrated.
the next class will cover the most recent form of
standard detection for vehicles. Video vehicle detection, design,
cost effectiveness, installation and use at a fully actuated signalized
intersection will be discussed and demonstrated.
