A New Etobicoke Centre
Construction Liaison Committee RECONSTRUCTING THE SIX POINTS INTERCHANGE The City has established a Construction Liaison Committee (CLC) to provide community input and advice to City staff throughout the duration of construction. Committee members represent A NEW ETOBICOKE CENTRE local interests such as the Business Improvement Area (BIA), Resident’s Associations, Community Organizations, Neighbouring Properties, the Ward 5 Councillor's Office, and City Staff. So far, the CLC has met twice and will continue to meet bi-monthly. A record of CLC meeting minutes can be found on the project website toronto.ca/etobicokecentre under ‘Get Involved’. PROJECT OVERVIEW Following more than 10 years of planning, consultation, engineering, and design, the City of Toronto is beginning reconstruction of the Six Points Interchange. The project supports the development of Construction is Underway! Etobicoke Centre as a vibrant Reconstruction of the Six Points Interchange started in March 2017 and continues mixed-use transit-oriented to progress.

UAV Lidar Point Cloud Segmentation of a Stack
1 UAV LiDAR Point Cloud Segmentation of A Stack Interchange with Deep Neural Networks Weikai Tan, Student Member, IEEE, Dedong Zhang, Lingfei Ma, Ying Li, Lanying Wang, and Jonathan Li, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—Stack interchanges are essential components of capturing the complicated structure of interchanges due to transportation systems. Mobile laser scanning (MLS) systems limitations of flying altitudes or road surfaces [4]. Unmanned have been widely used in road infrastructure mapping, but accu- aerial vehicle (UAV) is a thriving platform for various sensors, rate mapping of complicated multi-layer stack interchanges are still challenging. This study examined the point clouds collected including Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems, by a new Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Light Detection and with the flexibility of data collection. However, there are Ranging (LiDAR) system to perform the semantic segmentation more uncertainties in point clouds collected by UAV systems, task of a stack interchange. An end-to-end supervised 3D deep such as point registration and calibration, due to less stable learning framework was proposed to classify the point clouds. moving positions than aeroplanes and cars. To capture features The proposed method has proven to capture 3D features in complicated interchange scenarios with stacked convolution and from the massive amounts of unordered and unstructured the result achieved over 93% classification accuracy.

Introduction: Nashville, like many other cities, is experiencing rapid growth and must address increasing demands on current transportation resources. As a result, it is important for Nashville to use its existing traffic networks in the most efficient and effective manner. East Nashville’s intersection of Ellington Parkway, I-24, Main St, Spring St, and Dickerson Pike, nicknamed “Spaghetti Junction,” consumes over 85 acres of space with interchanges and unusable land. This is nearly equivalent to Atlanta’s Tom Moreland Interchange or L.A.’s Pregerson Interchange, the -
Congestion Costs the Economy ATRI Research Identified Trucking Industry Costs Of$63.4 Billion As a Result of Congestion on the Nation’S Highways
Congestion Costs the Economy ATRI research identified trucking industry costs of $63.4 billion as a result of congestion on the nation’s highways. That cost generates from 996 million lost hours of industry productivity, the equivalent of 362,000 truck drivers sitting still for an entire year.

Study of a Highly Effective and Affordable Highway Interchange - ITL Interchange
Available online at www.CivileJournal.org Civil Engineering Journal Vol. 6, No. 4, April, 2020 Technical Note Study of a Highly Effective and Affordable Highway Interchange - ITL Interchange Goran Jovanović a*, Rafko Atelšek b* a MSc, Civil Engineer, Appia Company for Design, Research and Engineering d.o.o. (Appia d.o.o), Ljubljana, Slovenia. b BSc, EE, Appia Company for Design, Research and Engineering d.o.o. (Appia d.o.o.), Ljubljana, Slovenia. Received 26 December 2019; Accepted 01 March 2020 Abstract In this paper we present a new solution for the highway interchange, which represents the best compromise between the traffic capacity, the land area used and construction cost. The difference between the known and the new design solution is in the implementation of the opposite directional ramps which are widely separated in the area of the interchange. In the middle, between the directional ramps, some space is created for the left directional ramps. Interchange should be used for four-way highway interchanges or other heavy traffic roads junction in order to increase the capacity and traffic safety at the crossing point. It has no conflict points. ITL Interchange left directional ramps is much shorter than all other known solutions for interchanges. The interchange is built in two levels. These two facts significantly lower the cost of construction. The study compares different types of interchanges. We made a geometric comparison and performance measures. In geometric comparison, the greatest advantages of the ITL interchange are the shortest overall roadway length and the shortest overpasses length. Therefore, such an interchange is advantageous in terms of construction and maintenance costs. -
