  • Worked as a Junior Engineer in Surface Water Modeling Centre (Currently renamed as IWMA).
  • Traffic Impact Assessment for “Preparation & Submission of a high Quality Environment friendly Master Plan for the Proposed BEPZA Economic Zone” project, Mirsharai.

My research aims to provide tools that would be appropriate in considering the consequence of decisions related to transportation planning and design focusing within four main areas:

  • to improve road safety analysis and evaluation techniques,
  • to develop, implement and evaluate traffic calming decision making process and its prioritization system,
  • statistical modeling to improve the level of knowledge associated with transportation planning implications and
  • to evaluate service quality of public transport.

Specific aspects of my research include: formal procedures in deciding when and which improvements such as traffic calming devices are required; improvement of public transport service quality; tools for designing safety for new roads; pedestrian safety facilities; parking management for increasing mobility on arterial roads; and tools for traffic management improvements by statistical modeling.

 

On-going Research

 

Current research is firstly on implementation of bus priority lanes in the context of heterogeneous traffic in developing cities and secondly assessment of ride sharing service based on customers opinion in Dhaka city.  My research will continue to improve the knowledge base for using these tools by developing more practical procedures for estimating the consequences estimating the outcomes of decisions.  My research equally focuses on the construction management system in Bangladesh, particularly safety practices in construction sites at Dhaka city using statistical models.

Areas of Expertise

  • Development of traffic calming prioritization process
  • Application of Statistical Modeling in  residential streets  safety analysis
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of the traffic calming device
  • Application of traffic calming decision making as a part of traffic safety planning
  • Evaluation of Pedestrian safety
  • Prediction of Service quality of public transportation
  • Analyzing Construction site safety
