Vincent Q. La

Civil engineering graduate specializing in transportation systems and traffic operations. Proficient in modeling software, GIS, and infrastructure design. Committed to developing data-driven transportation solutions that enhance mobility and safety.

Transportation Network Modeling & Forecasting

• Contributed to pre-construction planning for an 8-zone network by developing and calibrating a TransCAD demand model to analyze future growth scenarios.
• Performed trip generation, gravity-based trip distribution, and applied a user equilibrium model to forecast traffic patterns.
• Validated network performance using system, corridor, and link-level measures.
• Proposed network upgrades including arterial widening and connectivity improvements, resulting in a 68% reduction in projected travel time, 25% increase in average corridor speed, and a 40% reduction in cost.

Hydraulic Infrastructure Design & Optimization (multidisciplinary)

• Designed a 19-mile, 30-ft diameter tunnel transporting 9,300 cfs, applying Hazen-Williams and AWWA M11 standards to optimize flow and structural integrity.
• Assisted with project optimization by reducing operational costs by 70% through terrain alignment and grade line adjustments.
