The ITE project is an annual activity of the UCI Student Chapter of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. We select a project in the fall, complete the work in the winter, and prepare and present the results to the local ITE professional chapter in the spring. The following projects have been completed:

• 2008-2009 Annual Project
  The project investigated the relationship between gas prices and VMT on selected freeway sections in southern California. Results were presented to the Southern California Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers on Mat 20th, 2009, wit hthe chapter being awarded "Most Unique & Thought Provoking Award". Prepared by the UCI ITE Student Chapter, May 2009 [Chris Long, President]
  
  
• 2007-2008 Annual Project
  The project underway involves a traffic signal optimization study for the UCI Main Campus. Report and Presentation will be made in May 2008 to the Southern California Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Prepared by the UCI ITE Student Chapter, May 2008 [Joshua McNeill, President]
  
  
• 2006-2007 Annual Project
  The first project involved the field implementation of a survey to assess user acceptability of the PTC concept. The second project was a Traffic Impact Study for a commercial center in Planning Area 6 in the City of Irvine. Report and Presentation to the Southern California Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Prepared by the UCI ITE Student Chapter, May 2007 [Neelam Sharma, President]
  
  
• 2005-2006 Annual Project
  PTC, an advanced vehicle tracking and identification technology, creates a realtime, distributed vehicle travel history database. A wireless connection is established between a PTC vehicle and the roadside controller and a traffic cookie (location + timestamp) is written to the on-board database. Continuous tracking throughout the network generates a complete vehicle travel history. As a first step in assessing potential user acceptance, a survey was designed and a pre-test completed. Report and Presentation to the Southern California Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Prepared by the UCI ITE Student Chapter, May 2006 [J.Paul Townley, President]
  
  
• 2004-2005 Annual Project
  There was no chapter annual project. There were transportation projects as part of CEE 181A-B-C Senior Design Practicum, which again focused on the City of Irvine's Planning Area 9A Design Projects.
  
  
• 2003-2004 Annual Project
  There were two transportation projects as part of CEE 181A-B-C Senior Design Practicum -- City of Irvine Planning Area 9A Design Projects. One was in the area of geometric roadway and pavement design; the second was in the area of traffic impact assessment. These projects were presented to the ITE Southern California Section's Student Project Competition [Alicia Yang and Charlene Hwang, presenters]
  
  
• 2002/2003 Annual Project
  "Integration of TRACER and REACT!". Chapter members participated in the integration of TRACER, an in-vehicle GPS-based tracking system, with REACT!, a web-based household travel/activity survey. Beta testing of the integrated software lead to modifications of both technologies. Report and Presentation to the Southern California Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Prepared by the UCI Student Chapter, April 2003 [Arwa Aweiss, president]
  
  
• 2001/2002 Annual Project
  Extending the ITE Project for 2000/2001, this year focuses on the coordination of traffic signals on the Sand Canyon and Irvine Center Drive arterial network. Once again, Synchro is used for the analysis. GPS-based TRACER units were used in a floating car study to compare actual speeds and travel times with simulated speeds and travel times. Report and Presentation to the Southern California Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Prepared by the UCI Student Chapter, April 2002 [Socheata Chhouk, president]
