Morgan Stanbury Transport
Engineer
Morgan joined the Practice in 2000 after
completing a degree in Environmental Engineering at the
University of New South Wales graduating with Honours. Morgan
undertook a major in Transport Engineering and prepared his
Honours thesis on a comparative analysis of several
computer based intersection modelling programs including
INTANAL and SIDRA.
Since being engaged in the transport
planning industry, he has also been involved in the use of
network and linear signal control programs such as SCATES. He
therefore has an extensive experience in the calculation of
optimum phasing design, phase splits and cycle lengths
for linear and network co-ordinated traffic signal
systems.
Whilst working at Thompson Stanbury
Associates, Morgan has undertaken numerous land use traffic
impact projects across a wide range of development categories. He
has also been involved in extensive local area traffic
management projects within both urban and rural
contexts. These projects have required significant
research and application of information to resolve
issues of traffic efficiency, access arrangements, internal
circulation and pedestrian / cyclist accessibility and safety.
Morgan has also developed experience in assessing matters
of land and intersection treatment design.
Morgan has an accreditation as a Road
Safety Auditor and has been a member of several audit teams
critically analysing all stages of route development from design
through to audits of existing roads on behalf of
government and the private sector.
Morgan has specialist skills within AutoCAD
and is capable of preparing concept designs and traffic
control / management plans including intersection control
and route development plans.
