Ali A. Saleh, P.E.

President

● Bio: Mr. Saleh formed TEC Engineering in 1992 to provide engineering design and operations support for the deployment of a regional ITS system, ARTIMIS, providing coverage to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. Since that time, under Mr. Saleh’s leadership, TEC has grown considerably to a staff of more than 40 engineers, planners, surveyors, and technicians in (3) Ohio offices and now provides multi-discipline transportation engineering services to State DOT’s, municipal agencies, and development companies across the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida, and Internationally (in the countries of Saudi Arabia and Lebanon) since 2004.

Today TEC Engineering is well-known for their cutting-edge approach to transportation engineering, utilizing the latest tools available in traffic engineering technology.  Mr. Saleh has built his career around innovative projects, including the first “closed loop”, traffic responsive traffic signal systems in all of Southern Ohio.  He also played an integral role in ARTIMIS operations, as previously mentioned, as well as the deployment of TRIMARC, another regional ITS system providing coverage to the Louisville/Southern Indiana urbanized area. This experience prompted Mr. Saleh to bring traffic operations management to the local municipal level, allowing communities to proactively manage their traffic signal systems and reduce congestion and improve safety for the traveling public. Mr. Saleh has worked with the communities of Springdale, Mason, and Butler County in Southwest Ohio to implement advanced traffic signal system monitoring and management capabilities in these communities, and TEC now provides on-going traffic monitoring of these systems via an in-house traffic control center. In 2004, TEC entered the international market, and Mr. Saleh is principally responsible for managing numerous transportation studies and ITS plans for the countries of Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.

● Education/Licenses: Mr. Saleh earned a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Cincinnati. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in Ohio and Kentucky (OH #54834; KY #18499) and is certified in Level 1 Traffic Signal Systems by the International Municipal Signal Association (IMSA)
