Under contract with Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) Don McLean (DMD) co-authored and co-delivered an in-depth 3-day roadway lighting training course to senior FHWA road safety staff.
The training course included information ranging from basic fundamentals to more advanced design methods to improve visibility. Upon the completion of the workshop/training, the participants had a basic overview of the fundamentals; such as theory, technology, standards, so the participants can provide technical assistance to State and local DOTs and convey safety messaging related to roadway lighting.
The workshop was held at the Virginia Tech Transportation Smart Road Facility in Blacksburg, Virginia. High-time visibility demos based on the current research were reviewed via the Smart Road Lighting System. Following this workshop, a training guide will be developed and issued to FHWA.
