Coordinationcan also affect signal phasing. Toensure safe operation, the signals, roadway,signs and roadmarkings should provideconsistent operating characteristics and beadequately maintained.TOPICS INCLUDE:» Traffic data collection and analysis» Computer analysis» Signal phasing design» Geometric requirements» Hardware design» Vehicle and pedestrian detection» Drawings and specifications» Roadmarking» Controller types and electricalrequirements (controller timesettingsand software covered in separatecourse)WHO SHOULD ATTEND?» Local Authority traffic signal engineers» Consulting traffic signal engineers» Traffic signal modellers» Geometric designers involved in thedesign of signalised intersectionsFor more detailed information on thiscourse, please contact Lisa Knowles.lisa@nziht.co.nz or phone 06 759 7065ext 705.DATESWELLINGTONCHRISTCHURCHAUCKLANDDUNEDIN8-9 April15-16 April13-14 May20-21 May4 |TRAINING TALK FEBRUARY 2013
