About Our Founder
Charles Robbins, P.E.
(1965-2016)
Our founder was Charles John Robbins, P.E. (1965-2016). Though his name was Charles, most of us just called him, Charlie. Charlie’s vision, coupled with his mentoring abilities, made him the perfect leader, a much-respected manager, and an esteemed transportation engineer. Charlie loved traffic engineering. He was continuously looking for new ways to advance Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Whether it was creating new trends for data analysis or software enhancements (see OpMinder℠), or making traffic operations and incident management procedures easier and more efficient, Charlie was usually at the forefront of them all.
