Ite Involvement

What is your ITE involvement (past and present)?

As President of the Southern Alberta Section, I was particularly proud of the revitalization of our local Student Chapter, and of an event we organized to honour Southern Alberta Section Presidents from the previous 33 years. Since then, I’ve been involved as a regular member, attending events, presenting and facilitating workshops at conferences, and contributing articles to Transportation Talk.

In my recent capacity as President of the Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals, I was thrilled to help establish a partnership agreement between CARSP and ITE Canada, which will benefit both organizations.

What do you value most about your ITE membership?

I value the range of opportunities ITE provides for us to come together and share knowledge with one another.

Getting To Know You

What attracted you to the transportation profession?

I really enjoyed the way my UBC professor Dr. Frank Navin made the transportation courses entertaining and relatable.

What is the most daring thing you’ve done in your lifetime (that you’re willing to see in print)?

I decided to try a new mode of transportation: Skydiving in New Zealand, over Lake Taupo…and lived to tell about it!

What is the last book that you read or are reading?

My selection has changed recently. Now nearly every book I read is cardboard and 10-pages or less! The last one I read is Dads Can Do It All

PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS & PERSPECTIVES

How would you describe your job to someone you just met at a party?

That I try to make their daily commute safer! They’re usually intrigued, and proceed to give me all their pet peeves!

Tell us about a project you’re proud to have worked on

My first large project with TranSafe was Safe Journeys to School in the City of St. Albert, a comprehensive review of school traffic safety, conducted in response to a child fatality near one of the schools. Through that project, it was heartening to see a community come together over an issue, and we left no stone unturned in our exploration of solutions to prevent similar outcomes. I’m also proud to have recently led a volunteer project to develop TAC’s new publication: Vision Zero and the Safe System Approach: A Primer for Canada

What is one aspect of your work that you particularly enjoy?

I enjoy seeing people go from being somewhat indifferent about road safety to becoming passionate advocates once they have seen the evidence and the impact of the problem, and the fact that most crashes are preventable.

During your career to date, have you pursued any professional designations through ITE?

I pursued the PTOE and RSP1 and RSP2I (Infrastructure) designations when they were first offered, and I hope to complete my RSP2B (Behavioural) designation in the next cycle.

Who has had the greatest influence on your career?

I have been fortunate to have had several mentors, among them Sany Zein, Dr. John Morrall and Mavis Johnson. Each of them was there for me at key moments of my career and helped carve the path I have been on.

Projecting yourself into the future, from an endof-career perspective, what will you hope to have accomplished?

I would like to feel like I have helped create a more mainstream understanding of road safety and new approaches to solving problems, both among my peers, the youth, and the public.

What is the greatest opportunity you see for the field?

For our transportation system to be more inclusive for people of all abilities, and for our approaches to transportation issues to help unite rather than divide people by creating a culture of empathy.

In the second quarter of 2023, ITE Southern Alberta (ITE SA) continued hosting a variety of events for our local section.

At our May event, a technical tour of the City of Calgary’s Mobility Operations Centre was hosted where attendees got a first-hand look at the recently upgraded Mobility Operations Center along with an overview of various projects the team is undertaking such as an Adaptive Signal pilot on a major arterial in the City. The tour was followed by a social at a local brewery where our peers reconnected with one-another and caught up on spring highlights.

Our June Luncheon included a presentation by Filip Majcherkiewicz, City of Calgary, on How Community Values Influence Transit Network Design – Coverage vs. Ridership where he discussed the goals that transit agencies are often tasked with: attracting customers (ridership) and ensuring that service is available to as many people as possible regardless if they will use it (coverage). Through this talk, Filip helped identify the degree to which coverage or ridership is prioritized can influence network design and overall service quality outcomes.

In July, ITE SA organized a series of presentations to learn from the sharing of research from our University of Calgary colleagues and students. Dimantha De Silva presented on the Use of Crowd Source Data in Transport Planning and Traffic Management –Intro to MTRADA; Joel Lethaby, Eremiahs Fikre and Karim Kandil presented on Designing Integrated Public Mobility in and Around the University of Calgary; and Sydney Ikeda and Max Webber presented on the Urban Calgary Student’s Association. We had the pleasure of being joined by several University of Calgary Student Chapter ITE members and look forward to them joining us for future events.

July was wrapped up with a picnic at one of the many great parks across Calgary – Edworthy Park. Members, family and pets were invited enjoy some beverages and snacks, catch up on the years highlights, and discuss plans to come.

It was also great to see half of the attendees arriving by bike!

In May of 2023 the Saskatchewan Section hosted our Spring Session in Regina. We were very pleased to have a special guest, ITE Canada President Ryan Vanderputten, present an ITE Canada District update. This event also included:

• Presentations on social inclusion, electric vehicle infrastructure, functional plans, transit master planning, highway design, shared e-scooters, and road safety;

• Networking opportunities; and

• Door prizes.

We are actively planning our Fall Session & AGM, which will include a full-day event filled with local presentations. This event will be held in Saskatoon in the Fall of 2023.

Follow us on Facebook: @ITEsaskatchewan

In June, ITE Manitoba hosted the 2023 ITE Canada/CARSP conference in Winnipeg and we’re proud to announce it was a smashing success! The conference theme was Road Safety - Creating Impact Through Diversity, and was action-packed, including:

• Over 450 attendees

• 5 technical tracks of presentations

• 10 technical tours featuring walking, cycling, bus rapid transit, bus manufacturing, and railway training facilities

• A wide variety of great social events, including the student mixer and banquet dinner at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights took the lead in presenting their ongoing projects, effectively demonstrating the breadth and depth of our research endeavours.

ITE Manitoba would like to thank all conference attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, and volunteers, and would also like to thank ITE Canada, CARSP, and the Local Arrangements Committee for the extensive planning efforts put forward. The conference wouldn’t be possible without all parties involved and we truly appreciate the support, collaboration, and the valuable relationships formed through this experience. We believe this event showcased a high level of passion and enthusiasm for road safety and transportation in Canada!

After a busy May and June, ITE Manitoba is taking a bit of time to relax and enjoy the summer, and is switching gears to plan for upcoming fall events, including a luncheon and joint Section webinar.

The Toronto Section hosted our Summer Luncheon on Friday, July 14th. The event was hosted at the University of Toronto Hart House, and featured presentations by Mark Majewski and Brian Storrie from LocoMobi as well as Brian Hollingworth from the City of Hamilton.

• LocoMobi presented on examples and the journey and learnings of commercialized and modernized mobility solutions, referencing solutions in Kitchener, Metro Vancouver, Oakville, and the PanAm Centre. The solutions needed to integrate hardware, data, UX, software, analytics, and human “visioneering”.

• The City of Hamilton is undergoing a significant transformation in terms of development and transportation. In his presentation, Brian highlighted some of the initiatives and projects serving to accelerate this change including a new Complete Streets approach, micro-mobility implementation, various parking initiatives, and some bold street re-design projects. The presentation also included some insights and observations on how transportation planning has changed over the past three decades and how things may change in the future.

ITE National Capital hosted an e-scooter tour on Friday, July 7th, with 7 riders. The group completed a 10 km loop on a variety of cycling infrastructure, and then gathered for some refreshments at the NCC Bistro in Confederation Park! Some participants had never used them before and were pleasantly surprised at how easy they are to use, providing a transportation option for short trips. We learned about policy-decisions for Ottawa’s e-scooter program, like no ride zones, no riding on sidewalks, being unavailable after 11pm, e-scooter parking zones and a maximum speed of 20 km/h. Thanks to Neuron for accommodating us and providing free helmets that we got to keep.

On Sunday, July 23. we had a enjoyable social bike ride with ITE National Capital members and friends along the Rideau Canal. We appreciated being able to ride Queen Elizabeth Driveway car free! We ended with some social time at the Paterson Creek NCC Bistro and great time was had by all.

We look forward to a Transportation Trivia Night at a local brewery planned for August 31st and a breakfast presentation about Ottawa’s Transportation Master Plan in September.

In June 2023, the University of New Brunswick’s ITE Student Executive Team attended the joint ITE Canada/CARSP Joint Conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba. At this conference, hundreds of transportation professionals and road safety experts gathered to share ideas and connect in-person. Throughout the week, UNB’s Student Executives participated in the Traffic Bowl competition, student events, and attended keynote sessions and speeches. Figure 1 displays UNB’s Traffic Bowl team. Prior to the commencement of the conference, UNB students attended the Student Leadership Summit. This student event provided career and professional development sessions and speeches from industry leaders.

Riley Taweel and William Morrison placed first and second place, respectively, in the CARSP Student Paper Competition.

With many UNB students currently working over the summer term, ITE student events are expected to resume in September.

As we reflect on the vibrant summer season, our student chapter at the University of Windsor has been buzzing with activity and achievement. Our chapter has been at the forefront of academic exploration and collaboration, from hosting a technical tour for the ITS-STI Canada (Intelligent Transportation Systems Society of Canada) conference to celebrating a significant award win at the Canadian Transportation Research Forum (CTRF).

One of the highlights of the tour was our driving simulator, a crucial tool for our research into drivers’ behaviours in diverse driving situations to prepare for the era of autonomous vehicles. The attendees showed a lot of interest in this device, sparking engaging discussions and further demonstrating the practical relevance of our research.

The ITS-STI Canada conference, a prestigious gathering of the brightest minds in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems, was a significant event on our summer calendar. Our student chapter had the distinct honour of hosting a technical tour, showcasing the University’s cutting-edge research facilities, including the Cross-Border Institute (CBI) and the Transportation Systems Innovation (TSI) Lab.

Conference attendees, including industry professionals, researchers, and practitioners, were introduced to key research areas such as Freight movement in Canada, Cybersecurity & Privacy in transportation, Big Data Analysis of Transit Smart Cards, and the use of Machine Learning in Modeling Car-following Behaviour. Our dedicated research students and associates

The tour was an exhibition and a platform for dialogue and exchanging ideas. It provided our students with invaluable networking opportunities, allowing them to gain insights, receive feedback, and establish connections that will undoubtedly prove beneficial for their future research. This event was a testament to our student chapter’s commitment and hard work, and we look forward to hosting more such events in the future.

2. CTRF Annual Conference Award Win: Celebrating Outstanding Research Contributions in Transportation

Our chapter has been celebrating a significant award win. Dr. Chris Lee and his student Ayobami Adewale won the first runner-up award for the Best Conference Paper at the 2023 Canadian Transportation Research Forum (CTRF) Annual Conference in Toronto. Their paper, titled “Effects of Road Geometry on Car-Following Behaviours and Collision Risk of Human-Driven Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicles in a Vehicle Platoon”, is a significant contribution to the field of transportation research.

This award follows Terence’s winning of the Best Conference Paper award at last year’s CTRF Conference, further demonstrating that our UWindsor Transportation Group’s research continues to receive recognition from the broader academic community. These accolades are a testament to the high-quality research being conducted by our members, and they inspire us to continue pushing the boundaries of knowledge in our field.

We are immensely proud of these achievements and look forward to more opportunities for growth and recognition in the future. As we continue to progress in our research and community engagement, we invite you to stay tuned for our latest news and updates. Thank you for your continued support and interest in our work!.

Social at graduate house

On May 9th, UW ITE hosted the first social event of the semester, a social gathering at the graduate house on campus. The event was well attended by student members at Waterloo as well as the UW ITE team.

Movie night

The UW ITE Student chapter hosted a movie night, where the documentary “End of the Line” directed by Emmett Adler was played. The documentary covers the New York City subway crisis and the crumbling state of America’s infrastructure. The film dives into the political aspects as well as the impacts that the Covid-19 pandemic brought to New York’s subway system..

Industry Talk with Matthew Sweet

On May 29, the student chapter welcomed Matthew Sweet, Manager of Active Transportation for the City of Mississauga to deliver his presentation: Meaningful Connections: find out what you want to do, demonstrate your interest to others, and go beyond shallow networking toward lasting and meaningful professional connections. to the members of UW ITE student chapter. Matthew leads a growing staff team who coordinate a multi-million dollar capital infrastructure program, and a multi-faceted engagement and education program to encourage people in Mississauga to walk and bike more often. Prior to working for Mississauga, Matthew held roles at the City of Cambridge and the Region of Peel. Matthew is a graduate of Mohawk College and a Certified Engineering Technologist and holds a BA from McMaster University.

ITE Canada Conference

Six members of the UW ITE-CARSP student chapter attended the 2023 ITE Canada conference in Winnipeg. At this conference, the team participated in the Traffic Bowl and finished in second place even though this is the Student Chapter’s first participation in the Traffic Bowl after nearly a decade. Chapter president Reza Aminghafouri presented his research. Finally, the student chapter is honoured to have received the ITE Canada Student Chapter Momentum Award at this event.

July 8 picnic

The student chapter hosted a picnic on July 8 at nearby Columbia Lake. Attendees enjoyed an afternoon of nice weather, food, drinks, and games outdoors.

GIS tutorial

As a follow-up to the first highly successful GIS tutorial, Jason Skidmore returned to present another GIS tutorial. Participants were able to use GIS to evaluate transportation policies by conducting network analysis using LRT data.

We were privileged to have University of Waterloo alumni Tamanna Kabir give a presentation on her Ph.D. research on developing permeable rubber pavement for the Canadian climate. This topic is not only critical for environmental sustainability, but it also addresses issues such as water runoff and freeze-thaw cycles.

Upcoming Events

For the next semester, our team has already planned two major events. These will be the annual executive team election and karaoke event planned for September as well as a field trip to the ION Control Center in Waterloo, Ontario.
