Accomplishments
  • Scheduling and coordination of Construction work for HSBC building Scheduling by using Navisworks manage as a tool for 4D modelling to better assist for visualization, easy retrieval of information, time reduction, coordination and clash detection.
  • Simulation of Kalamazoo-Portage Commute Traffic Used Micro Simulation to investigate the intersection of West Centre Avenue and South 12th street Conduct Delay Analysis of the Southbound Left Turn movement to reduce excessive delays and queue formation Found out the traffic volumes from Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study website Modeled Stadium Drive in Synchro according to its old geometry The traffic volumes are converted to Peak hour traffic volumes For finding out the Peak hour traffic volumes, multiplied the annual traffic volumes with 10 percent.
  • Adjusted the options such as Turn Type, Protected Phase, Permitted Phase, and Lead/Lag to provide the best fit to the real world case.
  • Optimized the green split and cycle length of the signal by choosing Optimize Intersection Splits and Optimize Intersection Cycle Length.
  • Used Synchro 9 and Vissim software for this project Significance of Estimation and its role in Construction Industry In order to systematize estimation for construction projects, we developed the model consisting by four main stages: project information and knowledge gathering, knowledge acquisition, best practice knowledge data base creation and knowledge based decision support for projects implementation.
  • Improvements on a rural divided four-lane highway in Michigan Our highway design team has been assigned to plan improvements on a rural divided four-lane highway in Michigan.
  • The upgrades will be installed in 2020 but they must be designed to accommodate traffic into the year 2040.
