Well trained technical assistants can provide valuable support in traffic and highway engineering agencies of cities, counties, and states. The Center for Public Safety offers this program to provide training for technicians who work under the direction of traffic engineers. This seminar is designed to improve skills in conducting traffic surveys, field investigation, data collection and analysis, and application of traffic control devices.

This two-week seminar includes lectures and demonstrations as well as supervised work sessions and field studies. The curriculum prepares participants to perform many basic traffic survey, analysis and application techniques with a minimum of engineering assistance and directions.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is designed for anyone who works under the direction of traffic engineers. Participants should have a strong background in mathematics.
