Portland State University

In honor of our 10-year anniversary, we’re trying something a little different. Instead of brief sessions that introduce you to a topic– we will be offering fifteen half-day workshops that focus on skill building and providing the tools to apply the latest research to practice. These will be hands-on, immersive learning experiences in a small classroom setting.

REGISTRATION

This event is a la carte, and pricing is per workshop. You may attend as few as one, or as many as four workshops.

• Half-Day Workshop (general admission): $95
• Half-Day Workshop (student rate): $50

Steve Szigethy and Jamison Kelleher, a team of graduate students in PSU's Master of Urban and Regional Planning program, will present their Planning Workshop project entitled "Imagine 82nd." The project engaged residents, businesses, property owners and students along NE 82nd Avenue in Portland to develop a comprehensive vision for the future of the corridor. Imagine 82nd deals with the portion of 82nd Avenue between the Banfield Expressway and NE Sandy Boulevard, 1.3 miles in length. This particular stretch is home to many retail and service businesses that typify the rest of 82nd Avenue, but it also includes Madison High School, a major corporate headquarters, and a 20-acre vacant brownfield site. At this seminar, Steve Szigethy and Jamison Kelleher will present the vision concepts they developed with the community, with particular emphasis on transportation and land use components.

The video begins at 5:54.

OVERVIEW

The aim of this research is to investigate pedestrian behavior at signalized intersections using state-of-the-art LIDAR sensing technologies and to use this data, along with vehicular data, to develop a more effective multimodal signal control system.

In the presentation, the presenters will describe a novel method of collecting pedestrian crossing behaviors at signalized intersection, discuss the findings and implications of data analytics, and introduce a novel approach to dynamic flashing yellow arrow mechanisms to reduce the conflict between left turn vehicles and crossing pedestrians.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understand the framework of LiDAR sensing solutions;
• Understand how to collect pedestrian behaviors at intersections;
• Understand how to provide new protection for crossing pedestrians with object-tracking technologies.

This webinar is based on a study funded by the National Institute...

Calling all Portland State University transportation students: Join us for a Fall 2021 Back-to-School gathering!

After a year of remote learning, we're excited to be back on campus - starting with our annual Fall mixer for transportation students, staff and faculty. Meet us on the rooftop of the Urban Center Building for a meet-and-greet and free lunch. This will be an outdoor event with room to spread out – please wear a mask to keep everyone safe.

If you're interested in a career in transportation – whether you're enrolled in the PSU school of civil engineering, urban studies, or another transportation-adjacent discipline – this event is for you. RSVP here!

STUDENT LEADERSHIP BOARD

The Students in Transportation Engineering and Planning (ITE-STEP) student group at PSU have been helping students interested in mobility connect across disciplines for many years. STEP hosts professional development events, field tours of transportation infrastructure, game nights, and more! Through STEP, transportation students can get connected to funding for attending trainings and conferences. Additionally, they...
