David Stanek PE, Associate Engineer, Fehr & Peers Associates

Mr. Stanek is an industry-leading expert in multimodal transportation operations, simulation, and analysis. David regularly applies his 19 years of transportation engineering experience to the most complex and challenging transportation problems and oversees and reviews transportation analyses performed by company staff. He serves as a companywide expert and resource for multimodal operations and safety, teaches internal training courses on capacity analysis, and develops spreadsheet tools for freeway analysis, model integration, and model output post-processing. He has expertise in applying arterial corridor analysis (Synchro, HCS, and Vistro) and traffic simulation software (SimTraffic, VISSIM, CORSIM, and Aimsun) to analyze traffic operations and safety for complex transportation projects. David's projects benefit from his in-depth knowledge of the Caltrans project development process and traffic operations analysis as applied to freeway improvement projects including interchange reconstruction, HOV lanes, and ramp metering.
