Engineer II, Transportation Engineering
Job Description Job Description: Use preliminary studies to determine the prioritization of traffic signal optimization based on levels of saturation. Update and construct intersection graphics, and requisite database tables. Collect data including, but not limited to: (1) Turning movement counts (2) Signal timing data (3) Geometric data, to include lane configuration, link distances between intersections, storage lengths for exclusive turning lanes, approach grades, parking conditions, pedestrian volumes, etc. (4) Travel time data. (5) Install and setup portable cameras. Provide digital video of traffic count. Analyze the collected data. Set-up and code net work. Develop and optimize signal timing plans, including but not limited to, the development of signal timing plans and the evaluation of the results using traffic analysis and simulation software. Development of timing plans will be for time-based coordination (TBC), incident management, special events, and traffic responsive (TRSP) modes of operation. For TBC, each intersection will have between five and eight timing plans developed including AM peak, PM peak, midday, evening off-peak, Saturday peak, Sunday peak, weekend AM, weekend PM. Two to four additional timing plans for holiday traffic will be required for approximately 170 intersections near 12 major shopping centers throughout Northern Virginia.
