Meetings and Conferences

We are pleased to submit this 2008-2009 Annual Report for the UMass Amherst Student Chapter of the In-

stitute of Transportation Engineers. With a core group of approximately 25 students, we have had an active

and productive year. We attended a myriad of ITE meetings and activities, went on several field trips, par-

ticipated in community service activities, and made sure to find the time to have some fun as well. In addi-

tion to those activities, which are outlined below and described in further detail in the supplemental report,

the chapter continued to make a concerted effort to expand the number of undergraduate students actively

involved in chapter activities. Through a series of initiatives we were able to engage several undergraduate

students as board members and many more as chapter members. The student chapter has also attempted

to reach out and foster the growth of other student chapters throughout the Northeast District. ITE has long

been an integral part of student life at UMass and we are excited to continue this tradition.

“The UMass ITE Student Chap-ter is very active across all levels of ITE, and we are proud to have

them associated with our New England Section.”

Jeffery S. Dirk,

Immediate Past NEITE President

MAITE Student Research Symposium

UMass Chapter Meetings

The Student Chapter holds general meetings

once a month throughout the academic year to

conduct business and plan events. These

meetings also provide an opportunity for

interested students to learn about the types of

activities the chapter participates in, and how

they can be involved. Student Chapter officers

also meet regularly to plan general meetings.

On February 20, 2009, the Massachusetts

Chapter of ITE held its annual Student Research

Symposium in Lowell, MA. This year, the event

was sponsored by the University of

Massachusetts Lowell. Several members of the

UMass Amherst ITE Student Chapter presented

their research and prepared posters on topics

ranging from traffic simulation to crash data.

Students also participated in the job fair and the

opportunity to network with transportation

professionals.

TRB Annual Meeting

From January 15-20, 2008 approximately a

dozen members of the Student Chapter

attended the TRB Annual Meeting in

Washington, D.C. Chapter members Heather

Rothenberg and David Hurwitz were presented

with UTC Student of the year awards. Several

members of the chapter gave power point and

poster presentations throughout the duration of

the meeting. Chapter members enjoyed

attending sessions and meeting students from

around the country.

2008 BSCES Berger Seminar/Lunch

Student Chapter members attended the 2008

Bertram Berger Seminar and Luncheon, held on

May 3, sponsored by the Boston Society of Civil

Engineers. This meeting provided student

chapter members to network with professional

civil engineers practicing predominantly outside

of transportation engineering, thereby increasing

their exposure to others aspects of the field of

civil engineering.

The Chapter visited MassHighway Traffic Operations Center (TOC) in Boston

on July 8, 2008. The Chapter viewed a brand new control center which was

constructed specifically to monitor the “Big Dig” tunnels. This TOC is one of

the most advanced in the county. Additionally, the chapter toured the control

center which is responsible for the rest of the CCTV cameras located across

the Commonwealth. Here, student members had the opportunity to “play” with

the pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities of the cameras so they could get a feel for

exactly how this system can be used to identify and respond to changing

traffic conditions and other incidents on the road.

MassHighway Traffic Operations Center

FIELD TRIPS

On July, 17, 2008 the Student Chapter visited the MassHighway High

Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) facility. This facility includes 6 miles of a 1-way

reversible HOV lane, heading in and out of Boston, along the I-93 corridor. The

lane is shifted twice a day, during the morning (into the city) and evening (out

of the city) commuter traffic. The Zipper car (top right picture) is the vehicle

used to shift the 6 miles of jersey barriers used to delineate the HOV lane from

the opposing direction of traffic. Chapter members were provided with the

opportunity to ride the zipper while it shifted the jersey barriers in preparation

for the evening commute out of the city.

MassHighway High Occupancy Vehicle Facility

Bridge Reconstruction Project The Student Chapter visited an active bridge construction and refurbishment

project in the town of Greenfield, MA on July 22, 2008. The project consisted of

3 bridges, 2 of which were refurbished, 1 of which was entirely reconstructed for

a total project cost of $24 million. Each of the bridges were in different stages of

completion allowing the student to view a completed product as well as a work in

progress. Students saw examples of concrete framing and pores, as well as

effective work zone design, and various strategies for handling drainage from a

bridge deck as well as pedestrian access. After the tour of the facility the

foreman gave the students a glimpse at the design plans for the project to help

emphasize how much engineering actually goes into an individual bridge project.

The student chapter has continued to pursue traffic data collection as a means

of exposing student members to professional practice and as one of the

primary sources of revenue generation for chapter activities. It provides

students valuable field experiences as well as interactions with currently

employee transportation professionals. This year the student chapter collected

ATR based vol/speed/class and turning movement counts on campus at an

intersection that is being considered for a roundabout (Oct 21-23, 08), and

volume data on the adjacent street and driveway to the campus police station

as a step in the redesigning of the facility (Mar 24-25, 09).

Active Traffic Data Collection Program

Professional Development

On Nov 12th, the student chapter hosted it’s very first ITE Webinar. The title of

the presentation was Pedestrian Crosswalk Policies: New Tools and Treatments.

The Higgins Room (a multi-media conference room) In Marston Hall was

reserved for the event, which allowed the power point presentation and texted

questions to be viewed from the ceiling projector. We were ale so able to

conference call in to hear the real time discussion. The chapter won the grant

money to pay for the lecture as well as a cold-cut lunch provided to the

participants by winning a competitive RFP from the NEITE section. In all, 15

chapter members attended the presentation and associated lunch.

Hosted First Ever ITE Webinar

The student chapter was selected to participate in the 2008 ITE Trip/Parking

Generation Project. The bulk of the data collection was conducted throughout

the Fall 08 semester and the final documentation was completed and accepted

by the committee in the early summer. The chapter was provided a $1000 award

for the purpose of conducting 80 hours of trip and parking generation data

collection and analysis for self storage facilities. Over 20 chapter members

helped conduct over 48 hours of field observations at each site as well as

convening meetings to determine the appropriate analysis for the collected data.

Preservation of Chapter History

In Feb, the chapter instituted a

committee to champion the

preservation and dissemination

of student chapter history. One

of the first initiatives was to

collect, digitize, and publish all of

the annual reports submitted by

the chapter to date. As of this

printing 7 reports have been collected and

published on the site.

Student Chapter Outreach

UMass ITE is on Facebook!

The student chapter’s Facebook is a brand new

initiative that went live on October 20th. The page

provides another vehicle for our chapter members

to interact with one

another, share photos

of activities, discuss

ideas about future

projects, and to post

schedules and activity

reminders.

ITE Student Chapter Bulletin Board

One of the best ways for the Student Chapter to

showcase its activities and engage undergrads is

to maintain a series of bulletin boards in Marston

Hall. The up-coming Chapter schedule for events

is highlighted as well as chapter awards.

Resume Book

In March, the Student Chapter compiled member

resumes into a book that could be distributed at

meetings and events throughout the year. Many

professionals commented on the professionalism

of the document, and several students have

already received requests for

job interviews from companies

who viewed the resume book.

T-Shirts

In the Fall of 2008 the student chapter held a

design competition for the development of a new

T-Shirt design. A multi-modal T-Shirt theme was

definitively selected for the design. A local print

shop was contracted to produce the shirts, and

every active chapter

member was given one

shirt subsidized by

chapter fundraising.

Webpage

The Student Chapter

webpage has undergone a

substantial transformation

under the leadership of

Steven. Sections such as

historic annual reports, logos of company

sponsors for Technical Day, and an alumni corner

have all been added. Additionally, the schedule of

events and photos of old activities are constantly

being added to the page.

The Chapter participated in the 2008 National

Engineers Week Future City competition.

Chapter member Heather Rothenberg served as

the Engineer Mentor for Monument Valley

Regional Middle School in Great Barrington, MA.

Heather evaluated the proposed city designs of

each student considering aspects such as

transportation, the

provision of utilities,

and the inclusion of

drainage.

MassHighway Adopt-A-Highway

The Chapter supports

the MassHighway Adopt-

A-Highway Program.

Once a month from Apr

15 to Nov 15 we clear

trash from the shoulders

of a 2 mile segment of

Rte 116. Once the task

is completed the chapter

subsidizes lunch for all of

the participants a

different local

restaurant.

Summer Transportation Institute

From June 30 to July 25, 2008 the Student Chapter greatly contributed to the

successful completion of the second annual UMass Amherst Summer

Transportation Institute (STI). Chapter member David Hurwitz held the

position of Academic Program Coordinator, while members Sara and Andy

were Staff Mentors. Additionally, members Heather and Chris gave

presentations and led panel discussions on higher education. The STI Program

was designed to expose upper middle and high school students to the field of

transportation. Each week of the month long program was focused on one of

the following areas: water, air, land, and multimodal transportation. Weekly

activities included faculty and graduate student lectures, skills and leadership

development activities (desert survival simulation), team oriented project work

(paper tower building, ship design, bridge building), and technical field trips

(Volpe Center).

Canoeing on the CT River

On Aug 21, 2008 Chapter members rented canoes

and enjoyed a summer afternoon out of the office

on the Connecticut River. Members paddled north

for approximately 1.5 miles to a small island

where they stopped for lunch before returning

home. The cost of the

canoe rentals an the

picnic lunch were

subsidized by the student

chapter.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Bowling in Northampton

On Feb 19, 2008 Chapter members attended late

night disco bowling in Northampton. A half dozen

members took advantage of the opportunity to

socialize after work on a Thursday night. The

chapter subsidized the cost of lane and bowling

shoe rentals as well as

purchasing all you can

eat pizza and soda.

In-Door Rock Climbing

The Student Chapter spent an afternoon on Oct

23, 2008 at the Northampton Athletic Club

certification. The rental

of harnesses and

climbing shoes were

subsidized by the

chapter.

Intramural Co-Ed Volley Ball

Our chapter enrolled a team in the UMass

Intramural Co-Ed Fall 2008 season. The team had

a difficult 5 game regular season, but ground out

a playoff birth late in the season due to two

consecutive come from behind victories. However,

the playoffs were short

lived, the chapter was

defeated in their first

playoff game.

Holiday Party

Students celebrated the end of the Fall semester

with a holiday party held on December 18, 2008.

Student Chapter members and faculty advisor, Dr.

Knodler, enjoyed the opportunity to participate in

a little competition at the pool and air hockey

tables. The annual

“Yankee Swap” gift

exchange also took place

at the party.
