KELVIN ROBINSON
Senior Transportation Engineer
Kelvin has over 30 years of experience in traffic and transportation engineering, including traffic impact studies, citywide traffic studies, and multimodal analyses. His expertise spans intersection safety and operations, transportation modeling, traffic control planning, and vehicular maneuvering analysis for complex urban and rural roadway networks.
He has supported construction and utility projects through the preparation of traffic control plans, including work on initiatives such as DC PLUG and DC Water projects, ensuring safe and efficient traffic operations during construction. Kelvin also regularly performs turning-movement and maneuvering analyses to confirm that passenger vehicles, service vehicles, and larger design vehicles can safely navigate constrained sites.
Kelvin is proficient in a range of industry-standard software, including VISSIM, Synchro/SimTraffic, SIDRA, AutoCAD, and Highway Capacity Software (HCS), and applies these tools to evaluate corridor performance, site access, and roadway network operations.
He earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland.
What do you enjoy about being a traffic engineer/transportation planner?
My interest in roadways and transportation began at a very young age. Traffic engineering has allowed me to turn that passion into a career while helping improve the quality of life for the traveling public.
What are your interests outside of traffic engineering?
Outside of work, I enjoy listening to music and playing golf. More recently, I’ve also developed an interest in cooking and experimenting in the kitchen.
What excites you about the future of transportation?
The potential implementation of driverless vehicles to enhance mobility and improve traffic efficiency is particularly exciting. On a broader scale, the prospect of space travel becoming accessible to the general public is fascinating.
