UPCOMING EVENTS 

March Meeting: Joint Simulation Roundtable & ITS Subcommittee: Microsimulation of Adaptive Signal Systems

Date: Wednesday, April 10th, 2013, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Location: ODOT Region 1 (123 NW Flanders St., Portland), Conference Room A/B

Join us for a special joint meeting with our Traffic Simulation Roundtable and the ITS Subcommittee. The presentation will focus on the art of modeling adaptive signal systems as part of the alternative selection or design process. We will focus on what it takes to model these type of systems, the level of effort involved, and how effective the results are in replicating field conditions. Miranda Wells/DKS will present on her experience using Scatsim in Pasadena, CA. Marshall Cheek/SynchroGreen will present on prior project examples using SynchroGreen.

The brown bag will be followed by a TransPort Business Meeting from 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM in the same location.
