Podcasts about traffic engineering

Thousands of people die or are injured in automobile crashes each year. By leveraging in-vehicle advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving systems (ADS) more proactively, errors caused by human drivers can be reduced, resulting in less fatal and serious car crashes.  . To learn more about the future of road safety, we sat down with Seth Chalmers, Director of Traffic Engineering for Dibble, to discuss new NHTSA developments, the intersection of ADAS and autonomy, and his experience with Waymo in Phoenix.  . We'd love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org.

I got the chance to chat with Andy Boenau today, who sometimes refers to himself as a Plangineer, with a background in urban planning and engineering.  We chat about the flaws in traffic engineering and the need for a different approach to the built environment.  Andy is passionate about questioning established norms and finding shared interests to drive positive change. He advocates for the need for critical thinking and curiosity in industries that often prioritize conformity.  TAKEAWAYS Traffic engineering often prioritizes efficiency and speed over the needs and well-being of communities. Questioning established norms and finding shared interests can lead to positive change in the built environment. Critical thinking and curiosity are essential in industries that tend to prioritize conformity. Reforming parking and zoning regulations can lead to more vibrant and diverse communities. Unhealthy infrastructure has negative consequences on physical and mental health. Creating a connected network of bike lanes is crucial for promoting cycling as a mode of transportation. Public opinion plays a significant role in shaping infrastructure decisions. There is a need for a shift in urban planning and design to prioritize human well-being. Andy Boenau is working on a documentary on healthy infrastructure and a book on public opinion.

America has Traffic Engineers. The Netherlands has Transportation Engineers. One is concerned with moving as many cars as possible, the other builds transportation systems. In this podcast, I'm joined by Steffen Berr, an American Traffic Engineer turned Transportation Engineer who now lives in the Netherlands. We discuss the myopic approach taken by Traffic Engineers in America, and how it ultimately ruins cities.Steffen has a great article that is worth reading:https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/america-has-no-transportation-engineersStrong Towns Conversation with an Engineer: https://youtu.be/P9BUyWVg1xIWonderland Road: https://youtu.be/Ds-v2-qyCc8Not Just Bikes: https://nebula.tv/notjustbikesBuild the Lanes: https://www.youtube.com/@buildthelanesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Marc and Mike go solo in this episode focusing on Traffic Engineering for Cities. Leveraging Mike's years of compiling data and producing reports and guides for various traffic related issues at the City level, the Public Works Nerds tackle a couple of frequent complaints such as speeding, request for stop signs and crosswalks. We also touch briefly on Complete Streets Policies, Comprehensive Plans and managing requests from elected officials.

With his long and varied history at JB Barry, Liam Prendiville has tremendous perspective to offer.Liam shares thoughts on some of his most captivating projects – ranging from decade-long roadway efforts to public transit extensions and cutting-edge wastewater treatment facilities. He also looks at the growing demand for environmental sustainability, a trend Liam believes will profoundly impact every sector and offer a wealth of opportunities for engineers to chase creative, innovative solutions! Looking back on his years with JB Barry elicits understandable pride and Liam is equally excited for the horizon ahead, which includes all manner of civil, environmental, structural and transportation challenges. We wrap up with a wish list for Dublin infrastructure and a shout-out to Engineers Ireland for sponsoring a paper Liam co-authored about the exciting possibilities open to engineers interested in pursuing the international market, as he did in the 1990s with tremendous results.TOPICS WE DISCUSSED INCLUDEExperiences navigating projects in Bosnia, Latvia, the Gaza Strip and elsewhere.The Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project.How the M8 Cashel to Mitchelstown roadway project offered new ways of managing the project process, engaging in the pre-planning stage with contractors, maximising contract negotiation and optimising communications in a way that has since been replicated.Why centralised, Dublin-centric transportation planning has to be expanded to include more byways that support regional travel and economies.The current and primary focus of JB Barry's design and project managementThe journey from a senior engineer into the executive ranksOpportunities for engineers to provide solutions to a number of large political, economic, environmental and social impacts.Why Liam believes Ireland's fortunes are very bright, with a strong economy at the tip of the spear and exciting new ways of conceiving things like housing.GUEST DETAILSLiam is a Chartered Engineer with over 35 years of experience. He specialises in Transportation and Traffic Engineering. For almost two decades, he has been at the helm of JB Barry and Partners, one of Ireland's leading Consulting Engineers. They offer a wide variety of services in the Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Safety & Health sectors and have completed numerous successful projects in each area.QUOTES “The construction of motorways is a very small element of the carbon impact. The real impact is on yourself and myself driving around in diesel or petrol cars. You can see that the move towards electric cars has taken hold. It's certainly there.” “Using the same footprint and the same size of site, we can treat a 60% or 70% greater volume of wastewater. Now that's using innovation to drive great results!” “The environmental issues and climate action demand is really going to create a very exciting opportunity for engineers. It's all going to have to be engineered!” CONTACT DETAILShttps://www.jbbarry.ie/wp/https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-prendiville-073b3a37/ MORE INFORMATIONLooking for ways to explore or advance a career in the field of engineering?

Fatal crashes were on the decline in Minnesota for years before the 2020 pandemic. But over the past few years, they've spiked as more people are speeding and driving recklessly. In 2021, Minnesota had 361 deaths in traffic crashes statewide. That's the most since 2007.  And Minnesota is not unique. Since 2020, fatal crashes have been on the rise around the nation.  MPR News host Angela Davis talks about what is causing this increase in fatal crashes, and what we can do to make our roads safer.  Guests: Brian Sorenson is the state traffic engineer for the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and director of MnDOT's Office of Traffic Engineering. He is also the co-chair of Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths.  Colonel Matt Langer is the chief of the Minnesota State Patrol. David Hurwitz is a professor at Oregon State University in Corvallis. He is also the Director of the Kiewit Center for Infrastructure and Transportation Research.

Keith has a passion for Traffic Engineering. He's a rare breed that came from serving our country in the armed forces to serving our communities as a Public Works Director of Bay County Florida. We chat about Hurricane Michael and a few things that he learned from the aftermath of the hurricane. We cover topics from mosquito control to Genes Oyster shack. Give it a listen and leave a review.

“Gridlock Sam” joins Alex Roy in this episode of No Parking to talk about cities (mostly the Big Apple), what a degree in Traffic Engineering (yes, that's a thing) can teach you, and how the father of the term “gridlock” changed transportation.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
