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.
As we prepare to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) on June 23, it’s a great time to reflect on how far women have come in engineering fields as well as to assess opportunities for improvement.
Three “Birdies, Brews and Barbecues” events remain for 2026 at Trine University’s Club Z.
Trine University is offering select prerequisite coursework at a reduced tuition rate of $150 per credit hour for students planning to apply to the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program beginning January 2027.
