-Summary:
TRB will conduct a webinar on Thursday, March 24, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that will discuss different characteristics of operating roundabout intersections that are not necessarily transferable to a “one size fits all” model. This webinar will examine the notion that providing exact design parameters may create intersections that are out of scale with a location and may increase construction costs while not gaining any improvement in safety or operational performance. This webinar will address the issue of the scalability of roundabout design in order to determine and achieve proper scale.
Learning Objectives:
- Introduction
- Scalability of Roundabout Design
- Setting and meeting expectations for stakeholders
- Using metrics to apply safety and efficiency outcomes
- Question and answer session
The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions. The Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) categorizes this webinar activity as relating to health, safety, and welfare including core technical.
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of integrating planning, design, and operations in development of a location before announcing the product
- Understand how and where to set community expectations in order to define where on the scale the roundabout intersection belongs
- Understand how to visually communicate effectively to ensure all stakeholders are on the same page
