Mubarak is becoming a proficient user of traffic modelling software having gained valuable experience during his Master’s degree with various software packages (e.g LinSig – Saturn – ARCADY – VISSIM). Mubarak further developed his understanding of VISSIM through his dissertation project to define a new VISSIM parameters to represent the traffic and driving behaviour in Brazil with focus on the behaviour of delivery motorcycles (Motoboys). Mubarak is now adding to this modelling knowledge in both older and newer versions of the microsimulation software and is gaining experience delivering projects following TfL’s MAP guidelines.

Working knowledge and practical experience of UK traffic design and modelling guidance including, but not limited to, the following: DfT Design manual for Roads and Bridges, SQA-0064 (TfL Design of Traffic Signals), Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions, Manual for Streets, TfL Modelling guidelines, and TfL Model Auditing Process.
