Biography
Md Rauful Islam is a senior-level research engineer, transportation analyst, and data scientist with over 11 years of experience in traffic demand modeling, microscopic traffic simulation, big data analytics, transportation data asset management, freight and economic analysis, spatial analytics, algorithm design, and research methodology development. He has led tasks for developing a methodology for developing large-scale vehicle trajectory population data in traffic operations analysis. He is currently working on national-level traffic and freight demand modeling. His project tasks included developing a methodological framework for assigning the NextGen passenger O-D data developed under the National Household Travel Survey program to a national-level routing network. He is also a team member in developing a Multimodal Freight Analysis framework to leverage the multimodal freight movement data reported in the FAF database to estimate multimodal system performance and deficiency. He also provided technical support for conducting FAF 3 development and sensitivity analysis. He has managed and updated national-level road networks, including FAF 3, National Highway System (NHS), National Highway Planning Network (NHPN), and Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS). He has experience in algorithm development, custom tool development in ArcGIS and TransCAD, data integration, data model development, and enterprise data management.
