This course will review basic concepts in probability and statistics and their application in designing traffic control features and regulating traffic.  The course will examine methodologies for conducting speed studies, evaluating intersection controls, safety analyses and quantifying the effectiveness of safety treatments.  Procedures and required traffic studies to legally establish, revise and remove traffic restrictions in New Jersey will also be presented.  Participants also complete exercises in which they conduct common engineering and traffic studies using actual data.

Intended audience: Individuals conducting engineering and traffic studies and those responsible for identifying safety problems and potential solutions including engineers, and street superintendents. Others that my benefit from this course are public works employees, and elected officials. This course is not geared towards law enforcement.

Rutgers COVID-19 Classroom Protocols
Rutgers University has implemented the following guidelines for all attendees of in-person, indoor workshops taking place in classroom spaces. The following guidelines must be followed in order to attend any in-person course:

• BRING YOUR PROOF OF VACCINATION OR NEGATIVE COVID-19 TEST
  • All workshop attendees will be required to show proof they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as defined by the CDC or proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test before entering the classroom space.
  • Attendees can display proof of vaccination status with a vaccination card (you may present proof on paper or a smartphone) or NJ’s Docket App and similar Apps.
  • Unvaccinated attendees including those with a medical or religious exception to vaccinations must show proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the start of the workshop. The test results must clearly show the date and time of the test.

• WEAR A FACE MASK
  • All attendees regardless of vaccination status will be required to wear an appropriate face mask while inside the classroom. Masks must fit snugly, covering the nose and mouth with no gaps. Neck garters and bandanas are not acceptable. 

Any attendee that does not show proof of being fully vaccinated or a negative COVID-19 PCR test, and/or not wearing a face mask will not be permitted to attend the workshop. If there are any changes to the University guidelines prior to the workshop, all attendees will be notified of the changes.
If you are feeling ill the day of the workshop, we kindly ask that you do not attend the workshop. Due to Rutgers strict COVID policies, not all drinking fountains are currently available for use. Please bring your own water as there are no vending machines in the building.
If you are not comfortable with the University’s in-person workshop guidelines, please do not register for this workshop.
