Camden Nagel of Noblesville, Indiana, and Tyler Hunt of Adrian, Michigan, reviewed 84 hours of video footage from the intersections to compile data for "Evaluating the Performance of Traffic Control Devices in Trail Crossing Intersections."
The data included the number of interactions between vehicles and trail users at each intersection, as well as the results of those interactions.
The analysis and report are part of an ongoing partnership between the City of Fort Wayne and Trine University to help improve safety at trail crossing intersections throughout the city.
“Every session we’ve had, we’ve learned something new,” said Dan Avery, executive director of the Northeastern Indiana Regional Coordinating Council.
The partnership allows Trine students to apply their classroom knowledge to a real-world situation, build their resumes and develop their professional network.
Dawn Ritchie, Greenways Manager for the City of Fort Wayne, asked the students to present their report to her team in the spring.
Trine University students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Trine University has been selected to be part of a national program to help campuses respond to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) presents for courses, curricula and higher education in general.
Two Trine University faculty members recently participated in the biennial Actuarial Teaching Conference (ATC), held July 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.
