Installed traffic count and GPS software on the Palm Pilots. Struggle more on developing a GIS map of the WIMs and freeway. Then, tried to figure out how to make a GIS shapefile into a DXF file. Handed over the truck rollover data to Erin and taught her how I made the Truck Rollover map. Look more at the MUTCD Manual and development of the Sign presentation with the CAD files Steve sent me. Demolished a reaction wall and built the platform and the small box for the RescueNet Project for Dr. Rad.
August 16- August 23, 2004: Through searching the web for CA, ID, OR, NV, and WA annual reports, I was able to in Inventory the number of state troopers for each state.

Read the Central Transportation Plan and tried to find some of the ordinance that are referenced in the document on the PSU expansion from PDOT. Also learned about the future plans for mass transit, traffic, and parking in the downtown region. Presented my PowerPoint presentation on the where old PSU signs are and were to add new ones to make the university stand out from the Portland downtown. I plotted the 3rd floor drawings of the new engineering building that shows the location of the new ITS lab. Worked on getting my hands on the University District Plan and e-mailing Steve on the getting the SignCAD drawings. Installed Syncro on 5 of the lab computers have not experimented with the program yet. Found the University District Plan, and also looked for the Mainstreet and Traffic Calming guides on the web and looked up other stuff for the CE Transportation Class this year.
July 16-July 27, 2004: Read through the plans for Portland State University 's expansion. Drafted a Letter to PDOT of there ideas and Created a PowerPoint presentation for the locations of the existing guide signs. Worked on mapping the GIS Crash Data for Chris and went over my Freeway Presentation. Worked on the GIS Crash data and documenting the errors that developed when the data was queried.

June 29-July 1, 2004: Attended the HSM Conference. We worked on adding the Cameras, RWIS and VMS to the drawing. I worked on contacting people on the Sign of PSU. We worked to make each device different from the others with text and point formats.
June 18-June 28, 2004: Figured out what Tarek need for info on the points that I am plotting for the AutoCAD Drawing. We worked on entering the new data points like VMS, ATR, and others into the map. Tested Neil's manual for installing the CID and worked on the flyer for the safety conference. I looked over the AutoCAD drawings for the errors and possible ways to distinguish between ATRs and the loops. I made some minor adjustments to the road and the positioning of the ATRs. Meeting on projects and assigned a new project on signing of PSU.
