cid:702550718@10022010-0567 Fall Training Update


As we enter the final three months of 2010, TTAP still has several classes available to meet your continuing education needs.  In addition to several familiar course titles, TTAP will offer a new workshop to help meet demand for an often-requested topic.  Introduction to Traffic Signals will offer the fundamental knowledge applicable to signal design, signal timing, controller programming, signal installation and maintenance of traffic signals.  Upon completion of the workshop, students will have a better appreciation for the history and justification of traffic signals, knowledge of the terms used in the signal industry, and an understanding of the operational characteristics of traffic signals, from pre-timed to adaptive control.  New MUTCD provisions such as the optional use of the “flashing yellow arrow” for permissive left turns will be presented.  In addition, students will be able to recognize and learn the function of traffic signal components, understand traffic signal detection layouts and features, and learn the basic concepts of advanced topics like coordination and preemption.  This workshop will be offered in Knoxville (November 10), Nashville (December 8), and Jackson (December 15).  Full details of the Introduction to Traffic Signals workshop can be found in the attached brochure.
