Peter Davidson is a transport planner, modeller and engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience turning data, models and software into practical policy and planning insight. As Director of TransPosition he built innovative analytical tools including the ground-up 4S multi-modal transport model and a novel integrated transport/land-use projection system, reflecting deep strengths in GIS, databases and statistical programming. He combines strategic leadership with detailed technical contribution — from developing analytical systems for urban transport to improving rendering and image-export precision in open-source plotting tools. Based in Brisbane, he blends rigorous civil engineering training with a rare mix of software development and domain expertise, helping clients test pricing, active transport and behaviour-change scenarios with clarity. Notably, his open-source work on ScottPlot demonstrates an appetite for improving tooling quality beyond his core sector.
