Work Experience
AECOM Technology CorporationOrlando, FLTransportation Planning Analyst11/2012 to Current
  • MARTA - Atlanta Beltline Streetcar Alternatives Analysis, GA: Currently serve as the lead modeler for developing ridership forecasts for the extension of BeltLine East Streetcar corridor, which includes developing, calibrating, and validating an existing year STOPS model, determining key travel markets, and evaluating the transit alternatives. STOPS is being used to model the alternatives which include the use of heavy rail, BRT and LRT technologies.
  • Orlando International Airport (OIA) Connector Refresh Alternatives Analysis, Florida DOT: Served as a lead modeler for evaluating 14 multi-modal alternatives for the study. The alternatives impact the special generators in the area including several of the nation's highest attended theme parks. The project efforts included re-calibrating the model's special purposes, evaluating the impacts of these changes to the rest of the model, modeling the alternatives and selecting the locally preferred alternative.
  • Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) On-Board Survey Expansion: Assisted in the development of on-board survey expansion methodology for COTA's entire fixed-route system. The methodology utilized automated passenger counter data in an iterative proportional fitting methodology to expand survey records, by on-to-off flow, time-of-day, and direction.
  • Ohio Department of Transportation Transit Research, Columbus, OH: Performed data analysis and project support to evaluate various methods of flow estimation and data expansion for the Central Ohio Transit Authority's entire transit system. The project will be used to guide the state-of-the-Ohio Transit Authority's entire transit system.
  • Florida DOT Central Florida Regional Planning Model (CFRPM) Updates: served as the technical consultant for various transit model updates to CFRPM in Cube Voyager. Work tasks involved developing transit networks and running different alternatives for long-range planning for the transit agencies, including existing and committed Cost Feasible alternatives.
  • South Florida East Coast Corridor Study, South Florida: involved in the study with the team responsible for travel demand modeling and ridership forecasting. Analyzed several transit surveys to gain insights of the changes in the travel market characteristics. This analysis helped to better understand the observed fluctuations in the boardings on the Tri-Rail system and in turn helped in forecasting ridership on the Florida East Coast Corridor.
  • Dublin, Ohio 2035 Travel Demand Model Update, Ohio: Assisted in updating the future year travel demand model for the City of Dublin, Ohio to a 2035 forecast year. This task involved updating the external trip tables and modifying the socio economic land use.
University of MarylandCollege Park, MDGraduate Research Assistant08/2008 to 11/2012

  • Developed agent-based models of market entry, price, and capacity choices on mixed-ownership networks to analyze welfare and financial implications of utilizing private sector capitals in road financing, funded by U.S. DOT UTC Program.
  • Investigated effectiveness and equity of future transportation financing options at federal and state levels through integrating existing datasets (regional and national travel surveys), funded by U.S. DOT UTC Program.
  • Developed comprehensive quantitative approach to incorporate transportation investment evolutionary analysis into integrated urban systems modeling by combining economic, land use and transportation network growth models for the Washington DC Area.
University of Utah, Transportations Systems Research LabSalt Lake City, UtahGraduate Research Assistant08/2006 to 08/2008
  • Developed framework for value pricing scenario evaluation using stochastic capacity and dynamic traffic assignment models as one of the focus areas of the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2).
  • Evaluated effectiveness of Express Lanes on I-15 in Salt Lake County, funded by Utah Department of Transportation.
Accomplishments

Created bridge models and evaluated construction stages.
