Erik Echezabal, PE, PTOE Project Engineer - Traffic 9 4 <br />Choice Engineering Consultants, Inc (Miami, FL) <br />MS in Civil Engineering Professional Engineer (FL) <br />Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (FL) <br />MOT Advanced Certificate <br />IMSA Level III <br />SR 9/I-95 at Hypoluxo Road Diverging Diamond Interchange - FDOT D4 Ongoing Since 2020 <br />Serving as the signalization EOR for the full reconstruction of the SR 9/I-95 interchange at Hypoluxo Road, which will be converted to a diverging diamond interchange <br />(DDI), in Palm Beach County. The scope of work includes new extended capacity/NEMA Type VI cabinet assemblies, new vehicle detection systems, full actuation, new <br />mast arms, and pedestrian signalization at three signalized intersections. <br />SR A1A/Collins Avenue/Indian Creek Drive Ride Rehabilitation Project - FDOT D6 <br />SR 94 Kendall Dr / RRR From SW 132 Ave to SW 122 Ave - FDOT D6 <br />Signal Retiming Services Consultant - FDOT D6 <br />General Traffic Engineering Services (City of Kew West) <br />Ongoing Since 2020 <br />Ongoing Since 2018 <br />Ongoing Since 2018 <br />Ongoing Since 2018 <br />Serving as the EOR for signalization and Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTCP) for this project. This project includes upgrading the intersection from semi-actuated <br />to fully actuated operations with microwave vehicle detection system (MVDS) and upgrading substandard pedestrian signalization to meet current MUTCD and FDOT <br />standards. <br />Serving as the Deputy Project Manager supporting with the overall management and performance of signal retiming services for over 1300 signalized intersection on the <br />State Highway System and TSM&O initiatives. Erik served as the Project Engineer for the development of the Monroe County Traffic Signal System (MCTSS) <br />Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) Implementation Plan for 49 signal controllers0 Erik supported the District Traffic Design Engineer with the <br />development of MCTSS specific Signalization Design Notes and Guidelines. <br />EOR responsible for analysis and design for the implementation of signalization improvements to this segment of Kendall Drive, which included 4 signalized intersection. <br />Project improvements included design of a hybrid loop-video detection/VVDS system with the existing Econolite 2070LX signal controller and Centracs ASCT system <br />and upgrading pedestrian signal features. This project required significant coordination with the maintaining agency due to limitations with the existing signal equipment <br />which required special signal design and vast knowledge of the traffic control cabinet and controller system as this project required retrofitting the existing ASCT system. <br />Responsible for developing the signal retiming recommendations for two city signals for the Weekday and Weekend AM, MD, PM, and PM-Off peak periods. He was also <br />responsible for performing the database conversions for the NEMA TS1 ecosystems to the NEMA ATC ecosystem along with bench testing, and supported with the field <br />integration of the NEMA ATC controllers and field implementation of the recommended signal timings. Erik inspected and verified that the Maintenance Contractor <br />properly removed the existing NEMA TS1 controller with proposed NEMA ATC controller, properly reconnected the MS connectors (A, B, C, and D as applicable), <br />tested field indications, and proper operation of signal controller.
