TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS EVENT

2025 Event Information
PedPalooza – LPIs and Exclusive Pedestrian Phases

Join us for the 2025 ITE Hawaii Section Technical Solutions event on August 6th.  This year’s “PedPalooza” will feature a virtual technical presentation by Peter Koonce (Portland Bureau of Transportation) about Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) and exclusive pedestrian phasing at intersections.  Attendees will learn the following:

• What are LPIs and exclusive pedestrian phases?
• How can they be applied?
• What are the pros/cons of these approaches?
• What are some lessons learned from applications across the country?

Peter’s technical presentation will be followed by a hands-on training session by Chris McLaughlin (Polara) regarding field application and implementation.  This portion of the event will also be broadcast over zoom for virtual attendees.  Attendees will learn about:

• Wireless Ped Systems (WPS) which can be installed in less than an hour per pole without excavation or cabling.
• LPI implementation with specific application for disabled pedestrians utilizing Accessible Pedestrian Systems (APS)
• Hands on instruction with APS settings, features, adjustments, and a whole lot more.  Bonus: How did those Zuckerberg voice messages end up on the APS buttons in Northern CA?

Finally, as a bonus, attendees will also receive an instructional video after the conclusion of the event that walks through how exclusive pedestrian phases and LPIs are programmed into controllers in the field.  This bonus content is an added benefit for all of our attendees whether they choose to participate in-person or virtually.

The schedule for the event is as follows:
