Satya has extensive project management experience in traffic engineering and ITS. He has managed projects such as traffic impact studies, data collection and related analyses of large datasets, the development and application of tools for the analysis of MPT plans, and active traffic management systems. He has an extensive background in the development and application of traffic simulation models. His experience includes analysis of traffic operations for many facilities including bridges, tunnels, arterial corridors, markets, and transit operations using both off-the shelf and customized simulation tools. Among other things, he has provided training courses and guest lectures at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. He got his graduate degree from the University of Minnesota and his undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He is a licensed professional engineer in NY and OH and has the PTOE Certification as well. He has been with KLD since 2002 and was appointed President of KLD Engineering, P.C., in 2013.
Sue has been managing projects for both high- and low-profile ventures. She has extensive experience in signal retiming, simulation modelling, traffic analysis, signal operations and emergency planning. She has been managing NYC traffic engineering projects under several multi-year agreements and has overseen the development of signal timing plans for approximately 2,000 intersections in NYC. She has been active in ITS-NY since 2009 and is currently the organization’s President. She got her graduate degree from the University of Sussex and her undergraduate degree from Bath University in the U.K. She is a licensed professional engineer in 6 States and a certified PMP. She has been with KLD since 2001 and was appointed VP in 2016, and COO in 2023.
Jinil has been involved in traffic studies for over 20 years. He is an expert in the use and application of various traffic models with detailed knowledge of their inner workings and APIs. He has extensive experience developing and applying models at small and large scale at multiple resolutions for traffic engineering projects. He has developed customized traffic models (WATSim, GENTOPS) and traffic signal optimization algorithms (IMPOST, RT/IMPOST). He is one of the two chief architects of the ACDSS adaptive control system. He is currently overseeing projects related to the deployment of this system in projects worldwide.
Paul is an accomplished project manager, who has successfully overseen projects of not only ITS deployments in the US and Overseas, but also projects that required complex data analyses to support traffic planning and traffic simulation efforts, under challenging deadlines. He is very well versed in traffic simulation models such as Aimsun and Vissim at multiple resolutions (Macro/Meso/Micro), Synchro/SimTraffic, HCS, and has applied his GIS and spatial data analyses background to integrate traffic models and spatial databases. He oversees the development of data dashboards for real time systems, such as the ACDSS and Midtown in Motion, traffic mobility monitoring, as well as for the analysis of complex data sets. He currently oversees projects involving the deployment of the ACDSS adaptive control system, and development of large-scale multi-resolution traffic simulation models.
Brandon is an experienced traffic engineer and project manager who has worked on a wide variety of projects. He is proficient in the development and application of traffic simulation models such as Aimsun and Vissim at various resolutions — Macro/Meso/Micro — to support facility analyses, & capacity analysis to develop construction staging and detours. He has overseen numerous such projects for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and is currently providing engineering support on a daily basis. He is also proficient in the development of signal timing plans using tools such as Synchro/SimTraffic and Tru-Traffic and their successful implementation. He has experience in the development of Evacuation Time Estimates (ETE) for numerous nuclear power plants in the US, as well. He is a licensed professional engineer in NY.
Ryan has over 10 years of experience and a diverse set of skills that include traffic signal control systems, data analysis & dashboard design, database management, traffic simulation modeling, traffic operations analysis, and geometric design. He has been an integral part of many ACDSS adaptive control system design projects nationwide and overseas, as well as NYC projects involving data analysis & dashboard design, signal timing plan development, traffic analysis, and traffic simulation. He is an expert user of a variety of traffic analyses tools such as HCM, Vissim, Aimsun, TransCAD, TransModeler, Synchro/SimTraffic with detailed knowledge of their inner workings, and their APIs/scripts. He has been at KLD since 2017.
