Roadside Safety

Attendees will be exposed to all aspects of Roadside Safety, including longitudinal barriers, crash cushions, terminals and transitions. They will be introduced to the existing products, and they will be taught the importance of site specific data to determine the most appropriate product for a particular application.

Upon completion of the Roadside Safety training, attendees will have a clear understanding of methods to identify dangerous roadside hazards and will understand how to choose the correct option to correct the situation. They will be aware of the best practices and state of the art technologies that could be used to make roadsides safer.

Work Zone Safety

Work Zone Safety will be discussed in detail. Attendees will learn how to design a safe work zone and they will learn about the newest technologies for work zone safety. How to use positive protection, truck mounted attenuators, dynamic, variable message signs and flagger training will be among the topics discussed.
Upon completion of the Work Zone Safety training, attendees will be aware of MUTCD recommended procedures to design safe work zones. They will be exposed to different technologies and methodologies that could be used to make work zones safer.

Vulnerable User Safety

Vulnerable User Safety is a significant issue for many countries, especially developing countries. This seminar will discuss the reasons pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, public transportation vehicles and non-motorized vehicles are involved in impacts that result in fatalities and serious injuries.

Traffic Management

Road design and traffic management have direct impact on a motorist’s safety. A good integration of different traffic management strategies, including intersection control, coupled with sound facility design can make the motorist’s driving task easier. The utilization of roundabouts has proven to effectively enhance capacity as well as motorist’s safety at road junctions.

Upon completion of the Traffic Management training, attendees will have a clear understanding of the strong link between the different aspects of traffic operations of road and the safety of the motorists. Attendees will learn how junctions are designed and controlled, how much capacity and safety roundabouts offer motorists, how to collect data to assess performance of roads, and how technology can be utilized to enhance operations and safety of roads.
