Mr. Johnstone has thirty years of practical experience in diverse transportation development and planning projects augmented by his Chartered Professional Engineering status in Australia. His professional background includes multi-modal transportation planning (short, medium and long-term), traffic engineering, economic and financial feasibility analyses as well as the optimization and development of public transport strategies (bus, light rail, heavy rail). Projects have focused on the development of analytical tools such as transport models to simulate the mathematical impact of transport infrastructure projects.

Mr. Johnstone has completed assignments in Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the United States. He was the professional responsible for the development of city transport models in Cairo, Dhaka and Bangkok as well as cities in his native Australia. He is considered an expert in the use of major transport planning software packages such as CUBE/TRIPS, STRADA, EMME/2 and UTPS. He is also familiar with other major transport modeling packages such as Saturn and VISUM. In particular, he received an award for an excellent presentation at the CUBE Annual User Conference for his presentation on the Integration of Economic Evaluation into the Transport Model. He is very familiar with the development and implementation of transport models in particular in the evaluation of transport infrastructure projects.

Mr Johnstone also is an Honorary Guest Lecturer in Transport Planning Courses in Thailand and at a short course in Australia in 2010. He is now one of a limited number of certified trainers in the CUBE transport modeling software.
