Would you like to learn some favorite tips and tricks from seasoned traffic engineers? Do you want to think about interesting traffic engineering problems? Do you want to share your experience to help other engineers?
At Spack Consulting, we huddle as an engineering team to solve all of our engineering challenges. The engineer in charge of the project lays out the situation and then the junior engineers start with questions/thoughts. Us older guys try to use these as teaching moments by asking lots of questions (sometimes they’re leading questions). Then we decide together what we’ll recommend.
As part of our mission to improve transportation globally, we’re going to experiment with letting you in on this process. We’re calling it the Traffic Corner.

We’re running this as a five-week experiment. I’ll definitely let you know if we’re going to keep it going after that!
