Yvan P. Cicic, EIT, MBA Mr. Cicic graduated from the University of Florida (Gainesville, FL) in 1989, receiving a degree (B.S.) in Civil Engineering with concentration in Transportation. He later received an MBA from Florida International University (Miami, FL) in 1998. He also studied Traffic Accident Reconstruction at Northwestern University’s Traffic Institute (Evanston, IL) in 1991. Mr. Cicic is fluent in French and Spanish. Mr. Cicic’s areas of expertise include traffic and transportation project management, traffic engineering studies, transportation-facility planning and design, and traffic-accident reconstruction. He has garnered over fifteen years of experience in the design of signalized intersections, parking facilities, guide signs, pavement markings and signing plans, and conceptual improvement of transportation facilities in the State of Florida. Mr. Cicic has also been involved in numerous traffic-engineering projects for the private and public sectors such as signal warrant studies, traffic impact analyses, highway capacity analyses, accident frequency studies, and DOT access management permitting. Finally, Mr. Cicic has fifteen years of experience in the field of traffic-accident reconstruction in the counties of Dade, Broward and Monroe in Florida. Mr. Cicic began his professional career with Transport Analysis Professionals, Inc. (TAP) of Miami, Florida, where he worked between 1991 and 1999. His primary responsibility was the management of traffic engineering design projects. Mr. Cicic was directly involved in major design projects performed for the Florida Department of Transportation such as the Emergency Signal Replacement Design Project following Hurricane Andrew (1992) and the Signalization of NW 72nd Avenue from NW 12th Street to the SR 836 on and off ramps (1998). Mr. Cicic also played an important role in the Tourist Route Information Program (TRIP) sponsored by the Miami-Dade Public Works Department (1994). Additionally, Mr. Cicic routinely performed a wide variety of traffic engineering studies for the private sector including signal warrants studies, traffic impact analyses, highway capacity analyses, accident frequency studies, and FDOT access management regulation and permitting. During his collaboration with TAP, Mr. Cicic also worked as Traffic Accident Reconstruction Engineer and was instrumental in the site investigation and analysis of over a thousand traffic accidents throughout the counties of Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. His primary duties included the field investigation, analysis, and report writing of vehicular and pedestrian traffic accident cases. As a field investigator, Mr. Cicic collected physical evidence at accident scenes, prepared CAD plans of accident scenes, measured the deformation of crashed vehicles, and measured pavement coefficients of friction. In the analysis phase, Mr. Cicic would perform momentum and energy analyses with specialized software and CAD techniques to determine vehicle speeds and trajectories. He was also responsible for creating courtroom exhibits and real-time computer animations of selected cases. |
