The University of Arizona (UA) project team will provide the city’s traffic engineers and technicians with a series of technical training sessions for traffic signal re-timing and optimization. The goal of this training series is to help the city re-timing traffic signals on multiple corridors efficiently and effectively using WaySync, computer software originally developed by the University of Nevada, Reno. In this project, WaySync will be used as a training tool to help traffic engineers better understand traffic signal timing principles and a traffic signal timing optimization tool used by the City regularly.
