Mr. Patel has over 31 years of professional experience in both the public and private sector and is a registered Traffic Engineer in California and Civil Engineer in Texas and Florida. He has served as the Project Manager in the design and implementation for numerous traffic signal designs and Intelligent Transportation Systems communications network projects for public agencies throughout California and other traffic engineering design projects. He has also managed numerous multi-disciplinary complete street and safe route to school design projects that have enhanced the safety for transit, vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Many of the projects included providing bid and construction assistance services after the design phase.

Mr. Patel’s professional expertise also includes preparation of ITS plans, traffic handling plans, traffic operational analysis, Safe Route to School studies, bicycle and pedestrian circulation studies, and parking studies.

Ms. Modugula has 24 years of experience in leading transportation planning firms in the United States and India in the field of travel forecasting models. She is an expert in passenger and freight travel demand forecasting models, mobility plans, master plans, demand assessment, and public transport feasibility projects. She also has extensive experience in transportation planning software such as CUBE, TransCAD, and EMME. Ms. Modugula has conducted numerous training sessions in model development and Cube software.

Mr. Saxena brings an unparalleled record serving national and international clients in their infrastructure design and transportation technology needs. Mr. Saxena has directed multi-disciplinary design and deployment teams for complex regional projects including software, communications, and system engineering elements. He has led arterial, freeway, multimodal, security systems, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) projects from concept to operations. His experience includes program management involving all phases of ITS, freeway, and arterial traffic systems, including planning, design, specifications, implementation, construction, and connected/autonomous vehicle (CAV) project design. He is a specialist in the design and integration of communications and software. Mr. Saxena has 41 years of experience managing numerous computerized control system projects throughout the United States and abroad, through feasibility, planning, design, construction, and implementation phases. He has held numerous lead roles in professional organizations and led the team as an invited Industry Fellow that developed the first National ITS Program Plan submitted to US Congress for approval. Mr. Saxena has a master’s degrees in Physics and in Management Science/Information Systems.

Mr. Bjorklund has 31 years of design experience, including 28 with TJKM. He has been the project manager and lead designer for more than 1000 signal design, modification, and signal interconnect projects throughout California, and has prepared hundreds of miles of signing and striping (S&S) design plans using AutoCAD. Mr. Bjorklund has extensive experience performing field analyses to determine geometric configurations of intersections, and has conducted many peer reviews of other designers’ work, providing clients with useful design modifications. He has also designed the roadways for the civil firms to provide the correct transitions, deceleration lanes and toppers. During his tenure with the City of Brentwood, Mr. Bjorklund plan checked Joint Trench, Interconnect, Fiber Optic, Street Lighting, Traffic Signals, and Signing and Striping Plans.

Many of the design projects Mr. Bjorklund has led and managed include Caltrans coordination and obtaining encroachment permits. His familiarity with Caltrans’ design standards results in minimal plan check revisions, moving design projects efficiently through the Agency’s approval process. TJKM’s design projects often include construction support services and Mr. Bjorklund has established a good working relationship with many of the developers and contractors in the Bay Area.
