Beyond Mobility: Embedding Safety & Sustainability into Traffic Simulation & Signal Optimization explores emerging approaches and current practices in integrating safety considerations into traffic analysis and simulation.

As transportation agencies and practitioners increasingly seek to balance mobility, safety, and environmental outcomes, there is a growing need for tools and methodologies that can evaluate these factors holistically. The presentations in this webinar highlight recent research and applied techniques that advance the use of simulation and analytical tools to better understand safety impacts, from signal timing optimization to the integration of predictive safety methods within microsimulation environments.

Presented by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), this webinar aims to equip attendees with a clearer understanding of current capabilities, limitations, and future directions for incorporating safety into traffic simulation and analysis workflows.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe how signal timing optimization frameworks account for mobility & safety
• Recognize factors influencing signal control performance measures
• Identify key parameters that impact mobility, safety, & emissions outcomes
• Integrate predictive safety analysis methods into microsimulation software
• Understand the differences between traditional analysis tools & microsimulations
• Assess the current state of the practice in using traffic simulation for safety analysis
• Recognize gaps and limitations in existing safety-focused simulation approaches
• Improve the application of simulation tools for highway safety evaluation

Presenters:

• Gustavo Riente de Andrade, P.E., Managing Partner, Infraplan Consulting LLC
• Tom Creasey, P.E., Transportation Program Director, Woolpert, Inc.
• Mohammed Hadi, P.E., Professor and Director, Florida International University
