Supervise 40 staff members in two units that oversee the development of all ITS projects and initiatives currently in progress in New York City. These projects include; the development and implementation of the Vehicular Traffic Computerization System (TCS), and the NYC Advanced Solid-state Traffic Controller (ASTC) for 12000 intersections and the NYC Midtown in Motion Project. Works on Advanced traffic control systems deployment, traffic studies, assessment of project deployment and mitigation measures. Manage annual federal grants of 60millions dollars used on operation and capital ITS projects, research and applications, project design, construction and operation. Direct the operation of the Traffic Management Center(TMC). This includes the operation of over 9,000 computerized traffic signals, Variable Message Signs, traffic surveillance cameras, vehicle detectors and incident management. Review and submit traffic impact studies and improvements for Federally Funded ITS projects. Serve as agency representative at meeting with city, state, metropolitan and federal agencies involving ITS projects.

Education: MS, Transportation Engineering, University of Minnesota, 2002 B Tech, Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, 2000 Registration: PE, Ohio #71334; PTOE Certificate #2154 Since joining KLD in 2002, he has been working on analysis of traffic operations for many facilities including bridges, tunnels, arterial corridors, markets, and transit operations using simulation models. He now has extensive project management experience in traffic engineering and simulation modeling. He has been a lead person in the traffic impact work for several power plant construction programs, managing those efforts; he has also been involved in projects related to the development of evacuation time estimates for nuclear facilities. Project Experience  Project Manager for the “Midtown in Motion” project that is currently developing a new active traffic management system with a two level traffic control strategy for NYCDOT.  Project Manager for the 7th Avenue MPT Analysis using the Manhattan Traffic Model that was developed by NYCDOT.  Project Manager for the Second Avenue Subway (SAS) MPT analysis effort. This involved expanding the 3rd Water Tunnel (TWT) model to evaluate the cumulative impacts of projects including the TWT and 63rd Street Station work as part of the Second Avenue Subway construction project.  Technical lead on the QBB/TWT MPT Simulation Modeling effort for NYCDOT. The project involves evaluation of MPT plans in the vicinity of the QBB through traffic modeling.  Technical lead on the analysis and refinement of MPT plans for closures related to the Roosevelt Island Tramway rehabilitation. This was conducted in parallel with the TWT effort and the modeling insights were applied in the analysis.  Part of the team that developed the adaptive signal decision support system (ACDSS) for NYCDOT that combined real-time traffic simulation using AIMSUN and the signal timing plan optimization tool IMPOST+. Involved in system design and interfaces with the AIMSUN simulation model. This was implemented on Victory Boulevard.  Part of the technical team in the ongoing training courses for NYCDOT personnel related to the application of simulation modeling tools such as AIMSUN, VISSIM and SYNCHRO/SimTraffic. The courses were geared to provide insights into the use of modeling in a range of applications that arise in New York City’s multimodal environment. Case studies were drawn from real applications in simulation modeling, maintenance and protection of traffic (MPT), transit priority, ped-friendly design, safety issues, adaptive control within an ITS environment, model calibration, and data exchange between different tools.  Headed the effort for the development of trip tables using the NYBPM and taxi data provided by NYCDOT to support the Lower Manhattan simulation model (all of Manhattan south of Houston Street) for the LMCCC (Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center).  Headed the effort to develop traffic impact studies for nuclear power plants in Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland.  Headed the effort to extend the Lincoln Tunnel NY VISSIM model for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to include the proposed staging areas. The effort included 3-D models of the connecting ramps, modeling the flow between the LT, PABT, staging areas, and developing a tool to automate the process of extracting MOEs from the model.  Worked on the development of simulation models representing the NY side of Lincoln Tunnel for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. These models were used to evaluate operational changes along 9th Avenue for access to the Lincoln Tunnel.
