Land Use and Transportation Planning

Delphi-MRC has a strong record of accomplishment in delivering cutting-edge knowledge in practical and applied short courses and workshops to transportation engineering professionals across Canada. Working with the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) and the Centre for Transportation Engineering and Planning of Alberta (CTEP), we have delivered over 35 Geometric Design courses (of various levels) in nine of Canada's ten Provinces and 2 of the three Territories since our 1999 involvement as contributing authors to the 1999 TAC Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads. These courses are sanctioned by both TAC and CTEP and are eligible for continuing education credits for professional engineers.

In addition, in the course of our work for various clients, we have delivered numerous workshops on Road Safety Audits, Road Safety Operational Reviews, Safety Conscious Design for Vulnerable Road Users (also sanctioned by TAC), and the US Highway Capacity Manual (sanctioned by CTEP).

The various courses indicated below may be commissioned individually by organizations or agencies wishing to provide professional development for their staff.

• Rural geometric design (2 days);
• Urban geometric design (2 days);
• Introduction to modern roundabout design (1 day);
• Safety conscious design of interchanges (1 day);
• Safety conscious design of urban intersections (1 day);
• Safety conscious design for vulnerable road users (1 day);
• Roadside design (1 or 2 days);
• Highway Capacity Analysis (3 days);
• In-service Road Safety Audits (2 days);
• Design Road Safety Audits ( 1 or 2 days);
• Road Safety Engineering ( Parts 1 to 3: each part 1 day);
• Rural intersection road safety engineering (1 or 2 days).

Details on these courses, including costs and detailed curricula, may be obtained by contacting Dr. John Robinson, P.Eng. in the Halifax Delphi-MRC offices or at jr@delphiMRC.com. In some cases, because of prior agreements such courses will be presented in cooperation with either TAC or CTEP.
