Hi there.

I’m Josip Ticinovic.

Here’s a little about me.

Josip is a Rail Strategy Advisor with 12 years of multi-disciplinary experience. He brings a wide-ranging skill set associated with rail operations modelling, transport planning and traffic engineering. His aptitude in the rail operations and service planning space is bolstered by his involvement in high-profile rail projects for the state of Victoria. He is regarded as a subject matter expert in rail operations modelling for both the Metro Tunnel Project and Melbourne Airport Rail Project, and in doing so has led the development of numerous operational models that fall under the Rail Projects Victoria umbrella. Josip has also played a key role in the development of pedestrian capacity simulation models for critical public transport interchanges in Sydney, as well as several mesoscopic and microscopic traffic simulation models throughout the Sydney metropolitan region.

Some of the projects I have worked on include..

  • Western and Northern Rail Plan (V/Line): Rail Strategy Advisor providing advice to V/Line on the strategic appraisal of a series of operational concepts being developed for the Victorian rail network encompassing the entirety of Victoria’s regional rail transport corridors. These plans, being developed by the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP), incorporate a host of network enhancements for both the Suburban and Regional rail corridors, and seek to address the rail transport challenges resulting from the anticipated population growth that is forecast for these outer regions of Melbourne.

  • Melbourne Airport Rail (Rail Projects Victoria): Operational Modelling Lead for the appraisal of a future high-capacity metro rail line that seeks to link Melbourne Airport to the CBD using Victoria's new High Capacity Metro Trains.

  • Melton Line Upgrade (Arup): Operational Modelling Lead of the planning for capacity improvements for rail services to and from Melton. Arup was part of the Rail Planning Advisory Authority (ROPA) that had been appointed by the Department of Transport and Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) to undertake the planning for Melton.

  • Melbourne Tunnel Project (Rail Projects Victoria): Subject Matter Expert in rail operations modelling for the assessment of a new high-capacity metro rail line connecting the Sunbury and Dandenong rail corridors via a new underground tunnel. The rail operations modelling assessed the operational viability of infrastructure solutions that have been developed to support the new rail corridor and will contribute to identifying additional network enhancement opportunities.

  • Regional Rail Revival (Rail Projects Victoria): Lead Rail Operations Modeller for the assessment of various projects associated with upgrade of regional railway lines in Victoria.

  • Western Rail Plan (Rail Projects Victoria): Lead Rail Operations Modeller for the assessment of a series of railway projects that seeks to deliver a faster, high-capacity rail network that services the outer suburbs of Melbourne and regional cities within Victoria.
