Project experience

Selected past projects in freeway, construction, and traffic analysis.

A focused sample of owner-led work supporting MnDOT and corridor decision-making.

Featured case studies

Projects that best show the firm's core strengths

These examples highlight construction impacts, staging strategy, freeway review, and data-informed recommendations for agency delivery.

Construction impact analysis

Evaluated bridge, ramp, and neighborhood access around TH 280 and I-94 to support traffic management decisions during construction.

Challenge: maintain corridor and neighborhood access while multiple bridges and ramps were affected.
Approach: reviewed ramp demand, bridge traffic, and detour options to preserve key connections.
Value: supported traffic management decisions for a high-sensitivity metro freeway corridor.

Work zone modeling

Used Synchro and SimTraffic to evaluate northbound lane closure impacts, delay, and queue risk during pavement rehabilitation.

Challenge: understand NB TH 169 lane closure effects through a signal-controlled section without direct freeway detector coverage.
Approach: built a Synchro and SimTraffic model to test afternoon peak delay and queue risk during rehabilitation work.
Value: helped define when impacts would be most severe and supported construction planning with modeled operations insight.

Freeway diversion analysis

Tested diversion and queue effects on adjacent routes, including I-394 and I-494, under weekend closure conditions.

Challenge: estimate how weekend closure conditions on TH 169 would shift traffic to nearby freeway routes.
Approach: reviewed diversion scenarios and queue effects on I-394, I-494, and related connections.
Value: supported closure planning with clearer expectations for redirected traffic and delay risk.

Staging strategy

Compared staging options using travel time review to support a lower-impact construction strategy.

StreetLight and ramp study

Combined MnDOT loop detector volumes with StreetLight origin-destination data to recommend which ramps could close concurrently.

Challenge: identify ramp closure combinations that would minimize corridor disruption during planned work.
Approach: paired MnDOT loop volumes with StreetLight origin-destination data to isolate the most critical ramp movements.
Value: turned raw travel-pattern data into clear ramp closure recommendations for project delivery.
