INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS The Official Newsletter of the ITE Colorado/Wyoming Section
Conveyances
Members of the Outstanding ITE Section ...
Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a wonderful holi-day season and were able to spend some time with your loved ones. With the first few months of the 2009-2010 ITE fiscal year behind us, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on some of our recent accom-plishments and some things we hope to accomplish in the near future as a section.
Since my election as Secretary/Treasurer in 2007, I have seen many positive developments in the Colorado Wyo-ming ITE section. These include the successful hosting of the Western District Annual Meeting last summer (thanks to all who volunteered their time and effort to make this a huge success), and many successful section meetings with a long list of technical presentations (thanks to all who presented at and attended these meetings). There has also been a continued effort to provide technical information and training to the mem-bership, including almost monthly webcasts (thank you Karl Packer for coordinating these and thanks to all who have donated space to accommodate the webcasts) and quality technical articles posted in our newsletters and on our website (thank you Scott Thomas and all who contributed to these articles). In addition to added technical content, the format of our newsletter has been dramatically improved (thank you Greg MacKinnon and Bart Przybyl) and we have added several newsletter sec-tions including the membership profile which profiles a different member each newsletter (thank you Melissa Rosas and Bob Kochevar) and the “Life is a Highway” section (thank you Bill Hange). We have also recently added videos of the section meetings to our website to
help facilitate communication with our members that are unable to attend.
It is nice to reflect on all of the things we have accom-plished, but we must keep pushing forward if we hope to continue to improve as a section. This year, we will continue to work towards providing improved communi-cation with our membership. As part of this effort, we have been working for some time on an effort to update our website and we hope to finalize that process this year. We also are in the process of creating a Facebook group for the section to further facilitate communication with our membership and to help attract younger mem-bers. Younger members are important to our section and on this front, we are working to start a new student chapter at the University of Colorado at Denver. I also encourage all of the membership to reach out to the younger transportation engineering and planning profes-sionals and encourage them to join our organization. In addition, please take a moment to look at the Western District’s mentoring program on the Western ITE district website at http://www.westernite.org/ . We are also working on updating the section charter and bylaws which have not been updated in some time and there-fore do not match with some of our current section practices.
Our next luncheon meeting is the annual Vendor’s Show on January 22 at the Arvada center. Please see page 11 for registration information. We understand the budget issues that many public agencies are currently dealing with and therefore we will charge public sector employ-ees a reduced rate of $10 for the Vendor Show registra-tion. We expect a full slate of vendors and a good turn-out so I hope to see all of you there.

A Colorado/Wyoming Section of ITE luncheon was held on Friday, December 4, 2009 at the Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver. Section President, Ben Waldman, presided over the meeting that was attended by 81 members and guests. Everyone did self-introductions as is customary for the larger meetings. Ben Waldman reminded all of the attendees that the Section was col-lecting non-perishable food at that meeting for the Food Bank of the Rockies, and announced that the Section was donating $1,000 to the local “Toyz in the Hood” charity. Ben also stated that the registration for the vendors of the upcoming Vendor Show meeting in Janu-ary would be available on the Section’s website in the next week or so. Ben announced that the Western Dis-trict meeting will be 6/27 through 6/30 and that ab-stracts are due by 01/04/10. Ben then talked about the Mentoring Program that is put on by the district and that interested people can get more information by visiting the www.westerite.org website.
Scot Lewis recognized the scholarship recipients from the University of Wyoming - Emily Layton received a $500 scholarship, and Scott Koch received a $1,000 scholarship.
Dave Hattan announced that Larry Corcoran was the recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Since Larry is currently living up retirement in sunny Florida, he sent a thank you e-mail to Dave in which Dave read to the meeting attendees. Larry will receive his plaque at the April or May section meeting when Larry comes back to town for the summer months.
Ben announced that Doug Eberhart again won the news-letter quiz, and that other people are encouraged to try to win it.
Section Vice President Greg MacKinnon then introduced the speakers of the day, Alex Arinello (of LSC) and Tom Knostman (of the City of Loveland). They both pre-sented on the topic of “Continuous Flow Intersections”.

PAGE 4 JANUARY 2010 CONVEYANCES
Mel Dahlberg has been a Vice-President with Bohan-nan Huston, Inc. (BHI) for the past five years. This is Mel’s second tour of duty with BHI since he origi-nally worked for them in their Albuquerque office for fourteen years. He has been a member of ITE for the past six years. (In fact, he recruited me [Melissa] to become a member when I first
moved out to Colorado.) He graduated with a BSCE from University of New Mexico (UNM) and later got his Mas-ters in Structural Engineering, also from UNM. He is the membership chair for ACEC-Colorado, the Treasurer of ASCE and is a member of WTS.
Mel has been married for 32 years to his wife, Desna, who works as a pharmacist. They have two boys whom are both commercial airline pilots. The Dahlberg’s live about 15 miles south of Franktown on a ranch that has been in the family for over 100 years. On the land, they harvest wheat and raise cattle. Mel and his father, Raymond, run the ranch. An interesting fact about Mel is that he has his private pilot’s license. In order to maintain that license in good standing, Mel has to do a minimum of three take offs and landings within a three month period. This is relatively easy for Mel to do, since he tries to do six to seven in any given month. Mel typically rents a plane from the Centennial airport and goes to local places
such as Loveland, or sometimes out of state such as Cheyenne, Wyoming or Garden City, Kansas. The long-est solo flight he has taken was to Grand Forks, ND to visit one of his sons at college.
How did you enter the field of Transportation? In New Mexico, I started out as a bridge engineer, then due to a slow economy in this area, I moved into the roadway engineering group and moved my way up into management. I understand how bridges and roads need to work together and bring that level of cohesion to my projects.
How do you see the future of transportation in 50 years? I think there will be more ITS available to roadway us-ers. I also think cars will get smarter.
What stresses you out and how do you handle it? Work does not stress me out. If there is something troubling one of my family members - that affects me.
If and when I do get stressed, I like to build things such as woodworking projects. Re-cently, I finished up a dining room table as a wedding pre-sent for my niece.
What is the most recent book and/or movie that you have seen? I am not much of a reader because I cannot sit still long enough to read a book. I like reading magazines because I can read through articles and be done with it. I like comedy
movies because I enjoy laughing. Some of the classic movies that I enjoy are Caddyshack and Spaceballs.
What historical figure do you admire and why? Albert Einstein. He was so brilliant and innovative. He was a huge space buff - which I can identify with. He was also intrigued with time travel and I am sure if he were still alive today perhaps that would be an option!
Do you have any ideas that you would like to see happen to this local ITE chapter and how can it be better? I really enjoy the technical sessions and enjoy the ven-ues in which our members can learn more. I would like to see more ITS and technology topics to be discussed.
In an effort to get to know our members better, one of our future regular Conveyances articles will be a per-sonal profile in which we feature one of our ITE mem-bers. If you are interested in interviewing someone or being interviewed, please contact Melissa Rosas at 303-390-5901 or at [email protected]. Thank you.

ITE SHIRTS FOR SALE
The Western District Student Endowment Fund was es-tablished to provide a self-sustaining funding source for the Student Initiatives Program, the goal of which is to attract the best and the brightest to the transportation profession in the west. In the past, these initiatives were modestly funded utilizing existing annual operating and annual meeting budgets which has limited the scope of the programs resulting in the use of operating reserves. The District 6 Board projects that the Endow-ment Fund needs to reach $500,000 to generate enough annual revenue to support the District's student initiatives. To date, we have made great strides to-wards meeting our financial goal with more than $150,000 raised for the Endowment Fund.
Visit the new District 6 Student Endowment Fund web-site at www.westernite.org/endowment to find out more about the fund or make an online contribution. While you’re there, find out more about the Student Initiatives Program, explore our photo gallery, or browse through our list of contributors. In addition to the new website, the District has also established two Endowment Fund awards that will be presented at each Annual Meeting to recognize the Sections/Chapters that contribute the most to the fund throughout the year.

RECRUITING: ITE CHAMPIONS
The ITE Colorado-Wyoming Section is seeking Champi-ons to represent and promote ITE in their respective offices of employment. What is an ‘ITE Champion’? An ‘ITE Champion’ is enthusiastic about ITE and wants to help promote and develop the organization with their colleagues. What are the responsibilities of our ‘ITE Champi-ons’? ‘ITE Champions’ receive e-mail notifications (in addition to the general ITE membership mailings) about upcoming luncheons, networking events, professional development seminars and any other event that ITE sponsors. The ‘ITE Champions’ would help spread the word to individuals who they think may benefit from these events. The information can be presented at staff meetings, marketing meetings (if applicable), posted in a central location, or given to managers of related busi-nesses and organizations to disseminate. What are the benefits of being a ‘ITE Champion’? This is a great way to stay active and be the face of ITE for your employment office. It is also a great networking tool, ideal for developing business opportunities. How do I become an ‘ITE Champion’? The ‘ITE Champions’ would be part of the Membership Commit-tee, so if you are interested in becoming an ITE Cham-pion, please contact the local Membership Chair Melissa Rosas at [email protected].

PAGE 7 JANUARY 2010 CONVEYANCES An Overview of Transit Signal Priority by Tony Hurd, Apex Design
Transit Signal Priority (TSP) utilizes transit vehicle detec-tion technologies and special traffic signal controller pro-gramming to provide immediate adjustments to signal timings. These measures reduce delay time for transit vehicles at intersections. TSP also involves reassigning green time from non-TSP phases to the TSP movement to improve transit vehicle travel times. Unlike emer-gency vehicle preemption, TSP only modifies normal signal cycles rather than overriding for special events. TSP can be very simple or very complex, depending on the needs of the agency.
The first step of TSP is detection. Transit vehicles are detected using various technologies such as infrared optical detection, radio frequency identification, loops, or GPS. When a bus approaching a traffic signal is de-tected, a request is then sent to the signal controller. The request may be conditional or unconditional. Condi-tional priority requires certain predefined criteria to be met before a request will be sent. Example conditions include the bus running behind schedule or having a minimum number of passengers. Under unconditional priority, the PRG will automatically send a request for all buses on the route regardless of status.
The next step of TSP is to provide priority. Various strategies can be used to accomplish this. A green ex-tension strategy is commonly used when a bus ap-proaches a green light. Upon receiving a priority re-quest, the traffic signal holds the green indication for the TSP movement for an extended time to allow the bus through. This strategy can be effective because it pre-vents the bus from waiting until the next cycle. An early green (or red truncation) strategy is commonly used when a bus approaches a red light. The traffic signal shortens the non-transit phases to bring up an early green to the transit phase and gets the bus through the intersection earlier. Other TSP control strategies may
include phase insertion, phase rotation, or any number of special controller logic functions. The extent of the priority is often determined by each operating agency. Competing interests, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, sig-nal progression, and vehicles must be weighed against the prioritization of transit.
After the bus has cleared the intersection, the final step is termination of the TSP routine by either check-out detection or a time-out function. Data transmission and logging are then used to help assess system operations and effectiveness.
TSP schemes are location specific and a function of many variables. These include the composition of the transit fleet, the extent integration of on-board monitor-ing systems on transit vehicles, central traffic signal sys-tem and signal controller firmware functionality, the built environment, and existing travel patterns.
The use of TSP has many documented benefits including shorter travel times and improved schedule adherence. Interest in the implementation of TSP in the Denver metro area is growing. Several pilot projects and initial implementations are in various stages of development and will soon be deployed along s selected corridors in the Denver metro area.
PAGE 8 JANUARY 2010 CONVEYANCES
Every year, the ITE Colorado-Wyoming Section donates money to a charity around the holidays to support those that are in need. This year, the section donated to the Toyz in the Hood program.
Toyz in the Hood was founded by a biker (motorcycle) club in West Denver; they call themselves Los Cochinos. They started this because they wanted to do something for the community: to encourage youth on the right path of education and non-violence. In an effort to sup-port their youth, they started the program Toyz in the Hood six years ago. The bikers give gifts to children in need around the holidays. They targeted the Westwood projects and delivered toys to children in that living complex; approximately 250 toys were given out. For many families, these are the only toys that the children received. Since that first year, Los Cochinos has raised more and more funds because they saw the need in the greater neighborhood. In the past, they had relied pri-marily on their own personal funds to draw from to raise money for presents.
This year, Councilman Paul Lopez, supported their cause and helped obtain funding for them by sending out emails and requests to friends. This ITE Section an-swered that call and we donated $1,000 to the program. This year, over 1,200 presents were be given out to the greater Westwood projects area. Additionally, Los Cochinos started a bridge program in which children whom sign up and commit to necessary tutoring and receive good grades receive a bicycle at the Toyz in the Hood event. Over 80 bicycles were given to those stu-dents in this program.
Los Cochinos has over 45 members, not including the spouses and family member that help them with this progrqam. The group was especially energetic this year because of the great sponsorships that were obtained. There were children lining up for blocks in order to ob-tain a present for the holidays. Thank you to our mem-bers for supporting us and for helping another local or-ganization make a positive impact in our community!

PAGE 9 JANUARY 2010 CONVEYANCES Life is a Highway by Bill Hange and Kari McDowell
What do you have on your bumper? Let us compliment your dings! We’d look good above your trailer hitch!
It seems everyone, including the president, has a public relations campaign seeking attention and money for their program these days. Here we are, transportation professionals, ideally situated to help the population with a number of hot issues, and how much press are we getting? Not very much as far as I can see…
Today’s hot topics are terrorists in Denver, the economy, and health care. Why couldn’t we also include transpor-tation system work that is proven to provide the biggest bang for your transportation buck? For example: We can reduce your fuel consumption and prevent pollution too!
As engineers, we can advertise our ability to significantly improve the environment. We can reduce air pollution from vehicles by up to 60%. We can reduce fuel con-sumption. We can increase safety for the travelling pub-lic. Also, it would really help to have the politicians pass a simple transportation bill that funds improved timing of traffic signals, ITS Systems and design and construc-tion of modern roundabouts. This is scintillating stuff, obviously.
So how do we get the point across that many of us work every day to reduce delay and fuel consumption? And how do we get the word out for Colorado and Wyoming folks?
How about a state-wide signal timing day? We could hire some PR professionals to help us create a campaign to reduce dependence on foreign oil by 10% and pollu-tion from vehicles by 15% ? We’d have a hotline for folks to call in the signal they’d like re-timed the most. I bet we could draw lots of attention to our work efforts this way. Maybe we could also draw some much needed funds for operations and projects we need! Our own economic stimulus? Let’s get our economy going! Wouldn’t significantly reducing our dependence on for-eign oil and reducing pollution without spending billions of dollars, and putting folks to work using high tech so-lutions be a good start?
Would you consider sporting hot, designer Colorado and Wyoming license plates to go along with “Denver Fire-fighter”, “Respect Life”, and others we see all the time? Let’s put some extra effort into public relations and see what happens. What do you think?
