• Comprehensive Traffic Study for Irbid Municipality (2002 – 2004): This is a two

year ongoing study with my colleagues at JUST (Prof. Hashem Al-Masaeid and

Prof. Turki Obeidat) for evaluating the existing highway network at Irbid Greater

Municipality and make sure that it satisfies the requirements according to the traffic

safety and mobility standards and suggest the suitable improvements. It involves:

- Traffic volume studies, Capacity analysis at the road segments and intersections,

Traffic circulation studies, Traffic safety studies, Intersection traffic control studies,

Spot speed studies, Pedestrian studies, Parking studies, Pavement condition studies,

and Highway drainage studies.

The following reports were written as part of the study and submitted to Irbid Municipality:

Report # 1: Analysis and Design of “Al-Naqabat” Intersections.

Report # 2: Analysis and Design of “Amman Terminal” Street Network.

Report # 3: Speed Profiles and Speed Limits at Irbid Major Arterials

Report # 6: Traffic Analysis for the Signalized Intersections in Irbid City.

Report # 7: Traffic Analysis for the Major Intersections Controlled

by Roundabouts in Irbid City.

Report # 8: Traffic Analysis for the Major Stop Controlled

Intersections in Irbid City.

Report # 9: LOS Analysis for the Major Arterials in Irbid City.

Report # 11: Analysis of Pedestrian Safety in Irbid City.

• Feasibility Study of Azraq / Zarqa Road (2003): This was part of a consultancy by

Arabtech-Jardaneh Consulting Engineers & Architects for the Ministry of Public

Works and Housing. The study contained traffic forecast update for two scenarios

(with & without crude oil transport traffic between Iraq and Jordan), and road

capacity analysis for economic analysis.

• Pre-Feasibility Study of Irbid Ring Road ( 2003): This was part of a consultancy by

Arabtech-Jardaneh Consulting Engineers & Architects for the Ministry of Public

Works and Housing. The study contained project staging, traffic forecast, road

capacity analysis, and building trip and time saving matrices for economic analysis.

• Traffic Study for the Proposed Irbid Ring Road (2002): This was part of a

consultancy by Arabtech-Jardaneh Consulting Engineers & Architects for the

Ministry of Public Works and Housing. The project contained a proposed full ring

road around Irbid Greater City in addition to a partial ring road at the southern part

of the City with a total length of about 55 km. The study included the analysis of :

- Traffic volume counts,

- Vehicle classification data,

- Origin-destination data, and

- Vehicle axle load survey data.

Furthermore, the study involved the planning analysis for:

- The required number of lanes at each segment, and

- The recommended type of control (Signals, Roundabouts and

Interchanges; Trumpets, Diamonds, Partial Cloverleafs, and Full

Cloverleafs) at each intersection along the proposed highway.

• Part-Time Traffic Engineer at CUUATS (1993 – 1996): This was at Champaign-Urbana

Urbanized Area Transportation Study (CUUATS), Urbana, Illinois, USA. During this work,

I have been involved in a number of traffic engineering studies, mainly:

- Intersection capacity, delay, and level of service analysis for a total of 110 traffic

signals in the Cities of Urbana and Champaign,

- Traffic impact studies for new developments at different locations at the campus of

the University of Illinois,

- Pedestrian gap study at two school areas in the City of Urbana,

- Signal coordination of several corridors in the two Cities,

- Travel time and delay study for the major corridors in the two Cities,

- Traffic control warrants analysis for several intersections, and

Other studies

The following are the major reports that were written for the City of Urbana, City of

Champaign, University of Illinois, or IDOT:

Report #1: “Speed and Delay Study” February 1994.

Report #2: “Signalized Intersection Level of Service Study” July 1994.

Report #3: “Traffic Impact Study for the Office of Admissions and Records and the

Spurlock World Heritage Museum” October 1995.

Report #4: “Estimation of RTOR Volumes for Signalized Intersections” Dec. 1995. In

addition to several technical memorandums.

• Research Assistant, UIUC, USA, (1992 – 1993): Worked on Two Projects in Pavement

Management Systems with Professor Michael Darter for Illinois Department of

Transportation and Federal Highway Administration under the Pavement Model

Enhancements for the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) and wrote the

following two reports:

Report #1: "Relationships Between International Roughness Index and Present

Serviceability Rating" September 1992.

Report #2: "Effect of Pavement Deterioration Types on IRI and Rehabilitation" June

1993.

4. RESEARCH INTERESTS
