2024 Traffic Signal Control Forum and Hands-on Signal Timing Training

The one-day hands-on training will give you an unprecedented experience of quickly mastering the signal timing skills. There will be two parallel sessions: advanced level designed for those who has already been using WaySync, and entry level for those who is new to signal timing or WaySync.

Using a real corridor in Reno, you will understand how the existing signal coordination works and be able to assess its performance quality based on floating-car travel runs. You will learn how to quickly develop optimized timing plans and then implement, validate, and evaluate the new timing in a very effective manner with the state-of-the-art WaySync tool. You will learn how to view the signal controller timing sheets in a central system, how to quickly decipher the most important parameters from these timing sheets, take these parameters to/from WaySync, and finally you will know how to program the controllers with the new timing plans. This training seeks to showcase a streamlined process in how to develop, program, implement, verify, and diagnose issues in arterial actuated coordinated signal timing patterns.

Each participant will receive a one-month WaySync license. Additionally, the participants will have a chance of operating our unique PASS (Physical Arterial Signal Simulation) platform, where you can design a timing plan and see the results through the hardware-in-the-loop simulation technology. All participants will get familiar with two types of controllers: Trafficware used in the Reno-Sparks region and Econolite/Cobalt used in the PASS system.
