The 8th Asia-Pacific Transportation Development Conference
& The 23rd ICTPA Annual Meeting: Call for Papers
|
The International Chinese Transportation Professionals Association (ICTPA) is organized by transportation researchers, planners, consultants, and all other Chinese professionals in the transportation field. It has a very good tradition of holding an annual meeting for 23 consecutive years. The association also holds a conference on Asia Pacific Transportation Development every two years. These activities are broadly attended by transportation professionals throughout the world. The 2010 ICTPA annual meeting and the 8th Asia Pacific Transportation Development Conference will be hosted by Tainan University of Technology, Taiwan. Conference themes will focus on, but are not limited to, energy saving and CO2 reduction. Other transportation related issues are also welcome. Since there are already direct flights across the Taiwan Strait from mainland China, and the travel restriction has been lifted as well the 2010 conference is also inviting guests from mainland China. The old capital of Taiwan, the City of the South, welcomes you to experience the history of Tainan!! For more information about this conference sponsorship, registration and paper submission, please contact Reh-Lin N. Chen at (510) 577-3438 or rchen@ci.san-leandro.ca.us.

Expiration Date No Longer Needed on California PE Stamps
|
California law was changed regarding professional engineering (PE) stamps. On October 11, 2009 Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 645 (Niello) eliminating the requirement to show expiration dates on PE stamps. The seal must continue to show name, number, and discipline, but the "Exp." line in the middle is no longer required. The minimum diameter of the seal remains at 1.5 inches. The bill was passed to avoid holding up projects for replotting and restamping of plans due to a license being renewed prior to construction.

UC Berkeley Tech Transfer Holds Training on "Access Management and Site Design" in Southern California
|
The Technology Transfer Program (Tech Transfer) of the Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) at the University of California, Berkeley will hold a training class in Monrovia on "Access Management and Site Design," particularly designed for practicing traffic engineers, civil engineers, and urban/transportation planners. The training will be held at the Courtyard Marriott Monrovia on January 28 and 29, 2010.
Students learn how to design and manage safe, efficient means to move traffic on, off, and around various types of business, commercial, and residential developments. How and where vehicles enter and leave the roadway strongly affect traffic safety and traffic operations on the site itself, in the street, and through nearby intersections. This course focuses on good practices for effective management of the many different types of access between the roadway and a specific site, including commercial, residential, and office sites. It provides a sound technical foundation for engineers and planners whose work involves designing or reviewing issues or on-site circulation plans. Students also learn how to prepare and use traffic impact studies for new developments.
For more information, please go to Tech Transfer's website at: www.berkeley.edu
