TRANSPORTATION TRAVEL DEMAND MODELER
The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission has an immediate
opening for an engineer or planner with a strong interest in travel demand
modeling. For over 40 years the Commission has developed, maintained, and
applied travel demand models in support of area-wide highway and transit
planning for a seven-county Region, and facility and corridor-level traffic
engineering and transportation planning for local governments. The
Commission is also responsible for forecasting vehicle emissions for the
six-county ozone and three-county fine particulate nonattainment areas
within Southeastern Wisconsin. The current travel demand model is a
state-of-the-practice four-step travel demand model developed in 2005 using
land-use, socioeconomic, and travel inventories conducted in 2001 and 2002.
Travel inventories have been conducted every 10 years in Southeastern
Wisconsin. The Commission is currently conducting the next battery of
land-use, socioeconomic, and travel inventories.
Under the supervision of the Chief Transportation Engineer, this position
entails professional planning and engineering work involving research,
analysis, preparation and presentation of travel forecasts in support of
long range transportation system planning and short-range transit services
plans and traffic engineering studies within the Region.
A bachelor's degree with an emphasis in transportation engineering or
planning is required for the position. A sound understanding of methods and
procedures is required in the estimation, calibration, and application of
travel demand models, production of forecasts and vehicle emissions
estimates, the conduct of surveys, and collecting and analyzing data for
components of regional and local planning and engineering problems. Good
writing, research, communication, and organizational skills are also
necessary. Additional desirable qualifications include:
* Familiarity with TRANPLAN or Cube/Voyager travel demand modeling
software.
* An understanding of statistics and the use of statistical software.
* Familiarity with ArcGIS or other GIS software.
* Familiarity with MS Excel or other spreadsheet software.
* Familiarity with MS Access or other database manipulation software and
familiarity with SQL
* Experience developing computer programs with a programming language
such as FORTRAN or Visual Basic.
Residency within the seven-county Region is also required within six-months
of date of hire.
