**[Exam Preparation Questions:]** Infrastructure Definition: Infrastructure Concept Map: Sectors of Infrastructure and Relationship between Each: Sub-sectors are integrated into sectors. Sectors are Systems (Transportation, and Structural) 16 Total Sub Sectors (Transportation -- Highways and Streets) Non-technical Concepts -- Politics, Public Health, Public Safety, Engineering Concepts -- Planning, Sustainability, Ethics PE Requirements and What to Do After: Pass the FE Exam, bachelor's degree, Gain 4 years of Professional Experience, Pass the PE Expected to fulfill specific continuing education requirements for Wisconsin Engineers PE Allows further advancement in your field. Safety Management Plan: Minimize or eliminate exposure and the stress of inspectors and other stakeholders PPE Inspection type and site location Job Steps, Risks, Safe work practices Safety Quiz and PPE: PPE -- High visibility Vests, Eye Protection, Footwear Zero credit if found disregarding safety guidelines during an inspection Lyme Disease and HGA are transmitted from Tick bytes Flagger is typical used for highway work Safety Measures -- Speed Limit, Proximity to Intersections, Traffic Volume Why Infrastructure should be Inspected Regularly: Extend the service life of infrastructure (Cost + Safety) Identify Existing and Potential Hazards Construction Bidding: Bidding can be public and private funded projects Guaranty bid bond from the contractor can be 5-20% Contractor will bid if they: Benefits of Regular Pavement Maintenance: Pavement Distress Reasons: PASER Scale (1-10): Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating 10-9 Excellent, 8 Very Good, 7-6 Good, 5-4 Fair, 3 Poor, 2 Very Poor, 1 Failed. Requirements for Traffic Control Device to be Effective in a System: Innovative Method for Managing Intersection Points: ITS -- Intelligent Transportation Systems (Detectors, STOC Field Equipment, Sings) Roundabouts, Diamond Interchange Highway TBL: Three P's (People, Profit/Price, Planet) Sustainability Index: Sum of Three P's -- Imbalance Index \[(Max+Middle+Min)-(Max-Min)\] GIS (Engineering Process): Geographic Information Systems (Tool) Create Layers to find the best route available. Point, Lines, Polygons Can provide effective images of spatial data. Map out signs, utilities, roadways, mills, government locations, and more. Only useful if you have correct and meaningful data in the database. Objectives for Comprehensive Plan Include: Provides a Road Map to Guide the Physical, Social, and Economic Development of the city. A Document that outlines the vision for the future growth and development of the city. Principles of Smart Growth: 1. Mix Land Uses, Take Advantage of Existing Assets, create a range of housing choices, foster walkable neighborhoods, and promote a sense of place, preserve open space, farmland, and natural beauty, encourage growth in existing communities. Provide a variety of transportation choices, Make development decisions predictable and fair, and Encourage citizen and stakeholder participation. Design and Planning (Zoning): Zoning is used to restrict the number and types of buildings in a zone. Flow Chart Planning: Identify the Problem, Explore Alternatives, Select the Best Alternative, Design the Chosen alternative, Communicate the solution, and Modify as needed. Population Projection + Prediction: Be very careful of nonlinear projections. Chances are it\'s more linear than not. Use only recent data to make population projections. Population projections have lots of uncertainty. Social Impacts of Infrastructure: Good for who, bad for who? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few Can the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many? What about the good of the now versus the good of the future?
