Bill Allen | Independent Consultant (previously Bentley Systems) (United States)
Bill has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and worked for consulting firms before running his own practice from 1988 to 2016. He is now retired from full-time consulting but works on small projects from time to time.
During his long career, Bill has worked in nearly every aspect of travel modelling including estimation, validation, application, evaluation and review, subarea, sketch planning, and cycling. He considers the development in 2010 of the Simplified Tour-Based Model his key career development. This development uses a straightforward discrete structure that is a reasonable and efficient way to improve existing four-step models.
Bill, who has written or co-authored more than 35 papers and presentations at professional conferences, believes stepping back to view the ‘big picture’ is vital in travel forecasting.
Bill and his wife Kim have been married for nearly 50 years and live on a horse farm in South Carolina. He is passionate about carriage driving and competing and will soon compete in two US national championships.
