Over the two decades Phillip has been consulting in transportation modeling, he has become passionate about using his programming skills to automate processes to save time and reduce errors. He has worked with and gained a detailed knowledge of numerous programming languages as well as extensive geographic information system (GIS) knowledge and transportation modeling using microsimulation, mesoscopic, and strategic modeling packages.
Phillip has worked on a range of transportation and traffic projects including upgrades to the Bruce Highway, leading the team in developing an interactive multi-zoning tool of the Brisbane Strategic Transport Model (BSTM). He also worked with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to help code future road networks for the Greater Brisbane Strategic Multi-Modal Transport Model.
When not at work building complex mathematical models, Phillip enjoys a more old-fashioned form of modeling—building model timber boats—and spending time with his family.
