Description

While every agency in the nation responsible for traffic signal systems is unique, many similarities exist. For most, implementing a traffic signal system can be challenging due to many considerations. 

This course follows a systematic process to plan, design, and implement traffic signal systems as defined in the Model Systems Engineering Documents for Central Traffic Signal Systems – Final Draft (Model Docs). The document will be provided to participants of the course and will be used for the exercises of the course.

Objectives / Topics

This course is to provide agency staff with the skills and abilities to improve central traffic signal system (CTSS) project outcomes. The course will empower participants to engage in a needs-focused, requirements-driven CTSS procurement.

At the end of the training, you will be able to:

  • Identify the project team for procuring a CTSS.
  • Gather the information needed for procuring a CTSS.
  • Assemble traffic signal system user needs.
  • Identify requirements for a traffic signal system project.
  • Document testing and acceptance processes.
  • Develop a procurement strategy.
Target Audience

Who Should Attend? – Anyone responsible for the design, management, or operation of traffic signal systems including design engineers, operations engineers, and technicians of state and local agencies, consultants, and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Operations staff.
