Do you have a passion for transportation?
Do you want to be a part of a team that truly enjoys designing solutions that are MAKING LIVES BETTER?
ATG is currently seeking a Travel Demand Modeler .
This position will be a key hire to help grow our practice.
The selected candidate will: Assist with the designs of travel model architecture customized to meet transportation analysis objectives in the state or metropolitan area under study.
Statistically analyzes household and transit onboard travel survey data in order to develop model parameters and estimate model.
Works with and creates CUBE Voyager and TransCAD GISDK scripts.
Performs computer programming related to travel demand modeling and traffic analysis.
Conducting statistical analyses of travel survey and passively-collected transportation data.
Defines variables, coefficients, and constants to estimate a model likely to replicate observed transportation system travel behavior.
Perform GIS analysis using ArcGIS, TransCAD or QGIS Using iterative testing, calibrates the model coefficients to produce statistically reliable results to match target confidence and error levels based on project objectives.
Using the calibrated model, validates the model to existing conditions to insure performance.
Develop macros and scripts to execute individual model components, manage input-output data handling among the models and provide a user interface to organize output data into exhibits and reports to provide results in a format designed to meet analysis objectives.
Applies the models to forecast future transportation system performance under varying conditions and project scenarios to test the feasibility and economic viability of major highway and transit infrastructure projects.
Produces and contributes to the presentation of technical memorandum, analysis reports and formal and informal technical presentations on model development, application, results and recommendations to a variety of groups including professional peers, policy makers and elected officials, civic and business leaders and the general public.
Required Qualifications : Bachelor's degree or higher in Transportation Engineering, Transportation Planning, or a closely related field.
Minimum 5 - 8 years of experience working with travel demand models.
