JUAN PABLO ROMERO, EI
<br />TRAFFIC ENGINEER
<br />PROFILE
<br />Mr. Romero is a highly skilled civil engineer with over 14 years of expertise in traffic
<br />engineering, transportation planning, and data collection. His extensive background includes
<br />leading and supporting a variety of traffic operations and planning studies. As Deputy Project
<br />Manager for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Traffic Operations Office under
<br />both the Districtwide Safety Studies Contract and the Districtwide Miscellaneous Studies & RCI
<br />Data Collection Contract, Mr. Romero has provided comprehensive professional traffic
<br />engineering services.
<br />In this role, he has been responsible for the development, management, and oversight of traffic
<br />operations and safety studies focused on intersections, arterial roadways, and corridor
<br />improvements. His work has been instrumental in identifying safety and operational challenges,
<br />performing in-depth evaluations, and delivering data-driven recommendations to enhance
<br />traffic flow, improve roadway safety, and support informed decision-making for transportation
<br />infrastructure improvements.
<br />KEY PROJECTS
<br />The projects outlined below involve comprehensive analyses supported by a variety of data
<br />collection efforts, including turning movement counts, gap studies, Annual Average Daily Traffic
<br />(AADT), Average Daily Traffic (ADT), speed studies, pedestrian and bicycle counts, queue
<br />length studies, signal timing data, origin-destination surveys, travel time and delay studies, and
<br />crash data analysis. Additionally, certain projects require traffic simulation modeling using
<br />software such as PTV America Vistro, VISSIM, and Synchro, based on project-specific needs.
<br />All analyses are conducted in accordance with established engineering standards and
<br />guidelines, utilizing manuals such as the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD),
<br />the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), the Highway Safety Manual (HSM), the AASHTO Green
<br />Book, the Florida Design Manual (FDM), the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip
<br />Generation Manual, and the FDOT Traffic Engineering Manual (TEM) to ensure accuracy,
<br />consistency, and adherence to industry best practices.
<br />Signal Warrant - Project Engineer | Conducted studies to determine if a traffic signal is justified
<br />at intersections based on criteria from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
<br />This analysis evaluated factors such as traffic volumes, crash history, delays, and traffic flow
<br />patterns. Contact Information: FDOT D6, Ramon Sierra, (305) 470-5303
<br />Left Turn Warrant Analysis - Project Engineer | Assessed the need for dedicated left-turn
<br />lanes or signal phases to improve safety and traffic flow. This analysis involved reviewing traffic
<br />volumes, crash history, delays, and opposing traffic conditions to identify potential conflicts and
<br />justify left-turn improvements. Contact Information: FDOT D6, Ramon Sierra, (305) 470-5303
<br />Intersection Qualitative Assessments - Project Engineer | Evaluated the operational
<br />efficiency and safety of intersections through observation and professional judgment, looking
<br />beyond data to factors such as traffic flow, signal timing, pedestrian and cyclist activity, visibility,
<br />signage, pavement markings, and design. Recommendations were made to address issues
<br />like congestion, delays, pedestrian exclusive phase and safety concerns.Contact Information:
<br />FDOT D6, Ramon Sierra, (305) 470-5303
<br />Midblock Crossing Study -Project Engineer | Conducted analyses to evaluate the safety,
<br />effectiveness, and impact of midblock pedestrian crossings. The study examined pedestrian
<br />volume, vehicle traffic conditions, crash history, and visibility, and assessed roadway geometry
<br />and traffic control devices like signals or beacons. Recommendations for safety improvements
