Bio
Dr. Ahmed is a Transportation Engineer with over seven years of experience in transportation data analysis, transportation planning, simulation and design. He received his MS and PhD from the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB), and BS from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
Currently Dr. Ahmed is a Senior Consultant with Steer Group, based out of their New York City Office. He is a key member of Steer's behavioral research and choice modelling team; a technical expert in the design of Stated Preference surveys and discrete choice modeling. He is also well-versed in conducting risk assessment studies, demand elasticity analysis, developing econometric traffic and revenue forecasting models - successfully delivering projects for multiple public and private sector clients across North America.
His core area of expertise is advanced statistical and econometric modeling of large datasets. His doctoral research focused on analyzing the safety impacts of speed limit increase in freeways, investigating spatial differences in the factors affecting highway-rail grade crossing crashes, and identifying the factors leading to deer-vehicle collisions. His master's thesis focused on evaluating public perception towards Urban Air Mobility (UAM) service by statistically analyzing responses collected from an online survey. As a graduate student researcher, he also worked on research projects funded by NYSDOT, USDOT and FHWA, which focused on improving safety for vulnerable road users (i.e., pedestrians and bicyclists).
His research works have been published in Analytic Methods in Accident Research, Travel Behaviour and Society and Journal of Air Transport Management, which are regarded as prestigious journals in the field of Transportation Engineering.
He currently serves as a member of TRB Standing Committee on Computational Methods and Analytics (AED12), and previously served as a member and secretary of TRB Standing Committee on Statistical and Econometric Methods (AED60).
