I'm currently a Senior Transport Planner in the Transportation team in WSP’s Birmingham office. I have worked on a wide variety of transportation projects for both public and private sector clients. These projects include the development of Micro-simulation Modelling, Public Transport Studies, Junction Modelling, Transportation Masterplanning, Transport Assessments and Travel Plans. I have over 8 years’ experience of traffic engineering and transport planning and have worked on a wide range of projects including a Major Scheme Business Case, junction assessments, transport assessments, pedestrian assessments, noise and air quality assessments.Through out my career I have had significant involvement in major projects such as HS2 and Jaguar Land Rover. Key Skills/Achievements• Production of Transport Assessment Reports for a wide range of land uses; • Micro Simulation Modelling (VISSIM);• Junction modelling including the use LINSIG, TRANSYT, ARCADY and PICADY;• Knowledge within TRICS and TEMPRO;• Experience and knowledge of the application of transport modelling techniques;.• Demand Forecasting;• Transport data analysis;• Development of transport schemes;• Public consultation;• Pedestrian Assessments;• Noise / Air Quality Assessment; and• Experience using AutoCAD software.

I have undertaken the various roles at URS:• Providing recommendations on transport schemes; • Using statistical analysis to examine travel data or accident records;• Identifying potential solutions to transport problems;• Using mathematical and computer simulation models to forecast the effects of road improvements;• Implementing policy changes; • Developing public transport schemes;• Participating in public consultation initiatives, including designing leaflets and questionnaires, and attending scheme exhibitions; and• Developing the initial design ideas for new or improved transport infrastructure, such as junction improvements, pedestrian priority schemes, bus interchange or bus priority facilities, car parking areas, etcLee has expercience in the following software packages: ARCADY, PICADY, LINSIG, TRANSYT, TRICS, TEMPRO, VISSIM and AutoCAD.

• Designing and interpreting transport and travel surveys.• Recommendations on transport systems, using statistical analysis to examine travel data or accident record, forming potential solutions to transport problem• Using mathematical and computer simulation models to forecast the effects of road improvements• Policy changes and/or public transport schemes• Evaluating the benefits and costs of different strategies• Participating in public consultation initiatives, including designing leaflets or questionnaires and attending scheme exhibitions• Developing the initial design ideas for new or improved transport infrastructure, such as junction improvements, pedestrian priority schemes, bus interchange or bus priority facilities, car parking areas, etc• Writing bids for the funding of projects

As a member of the Traffic and Transportation team I was responsible for the accessibility planning and mapping, traffic modelling and design of transport schemes.Key Experience:Telford Major Scheme Business Case (LSTF)I had major input into the modelling aspect for Telford’s Major Scheme Business case. I liaised with my Senior Transport Planner on producing VISSIM models by transferring data from VISUM and then extracting network performance statistics and queue lengths for analysis. I also had involvement within the highway design, where I had input into how operations would work across the scheme and where I felt a benefit could be achieved. Central Telford Area Action Plan (CTAAP): I was responsible for analysing committed and CTAAP developments trip generation. I was also responsible for production of detailed design series drawings, identification of cycle route facilities including signs and markings. Review of signalised roundabout layout including road markings. This all lead to gathering various data sources to produce detailed statistics of flows and costing's at required Peak times.Telford VISUM Strategic ModelI was responsible for analysing RSI's, car parks, Automatic Traffic Counts and Manual Classified Counts. This required the use of GIS software (MapInfo) to code map origins and destinations of traffic.Luton Town Centre Transportation SchemeThe Luton project had very demanding timescales for the completion of the project, which were met. I worked extensively in all areas of the production of the scheme, producing a Paramics LMVR and data Report. Analysed data sources to produce detailed flows and TEE tables for the reports.A38 & A50_A500 Corridor StudyI assisted in extraction of SATURN traffic flow which was fed into VISSIM model. I produced a variety of Highway design drawings including traffic management, plan views, schematic layout and general arrangement drawings.
