This online engineering PDH course discusses about the dissemination of Travel Time Reliability (TTR) information using a set of tested Lexicon phrases in order to help road users make optimal travel choices and reduce roadway congestion.
Travel time variability is a characteristic of the transportation system that means a traveler’s trip will vary from what is normally expected and will potentially take longer than planned. By helping travelers make travel choices that take into account travel time variability, agencies have the potential to reduce roadway congestion. This reduced congestion has the added benefit of reducing primary and secondary crashes, vehicle emissions, and fuel use, as well as yielding other benefits.
Travel Time Reliability (TTR) information includes static data about traffic speeds or trip times that capture historic variations from day to day and enable individuals to understand the level of variability in traffic. A key component to addressing the reliability issue related to urban mobility is conveying this TTR information to system users so that they can make informed decisions about their travel. The challenge for transportation professionals lies in selecting the best means of conveying that information so that it is usable and effective to the traveler and other stakeholders.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers who are interested in helping travelers make better travel choices and in reducing roadway congestion.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the concept of Travel Time Reliability (TTR)
- Learning about field studies conducted in various regions and the obtained results
- Familiarizing with the deployment of the Travel Time Reliability Lexicon
- Gaining a general overview of the dissemination of the information to travelers across a broad spectrum of delivery platforms including websites, mobile application designs, graphical messages, and auditory messages

This online engineering PDH course describes the research activities and consequent findings related to the development of recommendations for maintained retroreflectivity (MR) levels for white-on-blue signs and white-on-brown signs. It also includes an investigation related to MR levels needed for complex visual conditions that include glare from oncoming headlamps and fixed roadway lighting.
In 2003, the Federal Highway Administration published research recommendations for minimum MR levels for traffic signs. The recommendations included most sign types but not white-on-blue signs or white-on-brown signs. In addition, the 2003 MR levels were based on conditions representing dark rural environments.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to all traffic engineers, transportation planners, sign manufacturers and all personnel interested in learning about or who are involved in the planning and determination of minimum retroreflectivity levels for traffic signs.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding research objectives and activities
- Learning about minimum retroreflectivity, glare and surround complexity
- Understanding the experimental variables, luminance levels and environmental conditions
- Evaluating experimental results of white-on-blue signs vs. white-on-brown signs
- Learning about the luminance threshold levels and minimum retroreflectivity levels
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) no. FHWA-HRT-08-029, "Minimum Retroreflectivity Levels for Blue and Brown Traffic Signs", April 2008.

This online engineering PDH course will provide a background of bicycling including common vocabulary, concepts and knowledge. The history of bicycling and improvement to the intermodal system will be discussed.
Bicycle planning issues will be covered. Utilitarian and recreational bicycling will be compared. The basic principles to be considered for a transportation project will also be discussed. The process of utilizing comprehensive planning, selection/development options will be provided as well as post design assessment. Bicycle safety issues will be discussed. The most common bicycle-motor vehicle crashes will be identified. The types of bicyclists and their associated risks will also be covered.
This 4 PDH online course is currently intended for engineers and planners who are interested in learning more about bicycle planning and safety for use in roadway design.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Background and history of bicycling
- Bicycle planning
- Comprehensive community planning
- Selection and development of options
- Bicycle safety
- Common bicycle-motor vehicle crashes
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Bicycle Planning and Safety”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty five (25) questions to earn 4 PDH credits.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)

This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive review of current practice on Variable Speed Limit (VSL) operations, particularly experiences from deployments in the United States, and identifies successful and best practices from the following perspectives: planning and policy, design, deployment, standards, operations and maintenance, and outcomes.
Variable speed limit (VSL) systems utilize information on traffic speed, occupancy, volume detection, weather, and road surface conditions to determine the appropriate speeds at which drivers should be traveling, given current roadway and traffic conditions. The use of VSL during less than ideal conditions, such as heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions, can improve safety by decreasing the risks associated with traveling at speeds that are higher than appropriate for the conditions and by reducing speed variance among vehicles.
In addition, VSL can be used to dynamically manage speeds during planned (rush hour congestion) and unplanned (incidents) events. Used in conjunction with managed lanes and other active traffic management (ATM) strategies, VSL can respond to downstream congestion to eliminate or delay bottlenecks and mitigate the possibility of crashes.
This 5 PDH online course is mainly intended for transportation engineers who are interested in learning about current practices on VSL operations, particularly experiences from deployments in the United States.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about variable speed limit systems used for congestion-based active traffic management, work zones, and weather
- Learning about the deactivated variable speed limit systems in the United States
- Understanding the methodology used by research teams in order to gather information on existing, deactivated and planned VSL systems
- Understanding the key considerations of the implementation of VSL systems including the VSL planning processes, design, deployment, standards and operations, and maintenance
- Exploring the benefits and challenges of variable speed limit systems
- Familiarizing with different agencies through interview summaries on the implementation of VSL systems
