specializing in Airport curbside and roadway planning; parking strategies, technologies, layouts, designs, and demand

analysis; rental car site analysis and layout; and traffic simulation modeling. He has worked at more than 35 airports

throughout the world.

Mr. Barton is currently serving as the lead planner for the master plan update at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. He served

on the management teams for the Strategic Development Plan Feasibility Study for Tocumen International Airport in

Panama City, Panama; the Master Plan for Harrisburg International Airport; and the Master Plan for Jose Joaquin de

Olmedo International Airport in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Mr. Barton has overseen the development of facility inventory,

aviation activity projections, facility requirements, , alternative development concepts, preferred development plans, cargo

Intercontinental Airport.

Mr. Barton has provided consulting services on a variety of ground transportation projects at more than 20 airports. As

part of these projects, Mr. Barton has forecast demand using AVI and parking data, developed facility concepts, produced

schematic plans for new parking structures, and created construction phasing of short- and long-term public parking

facilities. He has produced comprehensive landside construction phasing plans, future terminal roadway layouts, curbside

designs, and light-rail airport alignments. Mr. Barton has vehicle traffic simulation skills and has created VISSIM models of

the roadways serving airports at Salt Lake City, Houston, Larnaca, Memphis, and Athens. Additionally, he has conducted

studies regarding parking requirements at on-airport hotels and participated in the identification of potential hotel sites.

For Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Project 07-02, Airport Curbside and Terminal-Area Roadway

Operations, Mr. Barton used a macroscopic simulation method for curbside roadways and a low-speed weaving analysis

tool, in preparing a guide for the planning and operation of terminal-area roadways and curbsides. These projects have

come both as part of master plans and also as stand-alone projects.
