The transportation-focused exhibit had equipment set up to show how traffic signal systems detect vehicles and efficiently move traffic through intersections. There was also a display showing how traffic simulation software is used to analyze signal timing before it&#8217;s implemented in the field as well as an example of a real-time camera setup used for traffic data collection. Finally, there was a traffic-related game for children ages K-8 to play where they could create their own traffic signal timing plans. Participants had the opportunity to examine equipment and software used in real-world traffic engineering applications in order to provide safe and efficient transportation of people and goods. Nearly 100 students and members of the public interacted with the exhibit which was staffed by Civil Engineering faculty Brendan Russo, graduate student Emmanuel James (NAU ITE Chapter Treasurer), and undergraduate student Katherine Riffle (NAU ITE Chapter President).<\/p>\n<p>Click Image for Larger Size.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1766 size-landscape-image-sm\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day1-232x174.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day1-232x174.jpg 232w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day1-464x348.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/th>\n<th><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1762 size-landscape-image-sm\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day2-232x174.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day2-232x174.jpg 232w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day2-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day2-464x348.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1763 size-landscape-image-sm\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day3-232x174.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day3-232x174.jpg 232w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day3-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day3-464x348.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/th>\n<th><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1764 size-landscape-image-sm\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day4-232x174.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day4-232x174.jpg 232w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day4-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day4-464x348.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1765 size-landscape-image-sm\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day5-232x174.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day5-232x174.jpg 232w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day5-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2019_NAU_Science_and_Engineering_Day5-464x348.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/column]<\/p>\n<div class='shortcode-column-container'><!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AZTrans Exhibit at the 2019 NAU Science and Engineering Day &nbsp; AZTrans operated an exhibit at the 2019 NAU Science and Engineering Day (which was part of the Flagstaff Festival of Science) entitled \u201cBehind the Scenes: How Our Roadways are Designed &amp; Operated\u201d on Saturday, September 21st, 2019.
