Joe is one of the world’s leading researchers in the area of alternative intersections and interchanges. He started researching alternative designs in 1990, and first published a paper on them 1993. His two-part series in the ITE Journal in 1998 was one of the first papers to draw wide attention to this area. Joe has invented and published two new intersection designs and two new interchange designs. He was a co-author of the FHWA publication “Alternative Intersection and Interchange Informational Report”. Joe was principal investigator on the large Federal project to examine the operational and safety effects of diverging diamond interchanges. He recently completed the largest evaluation to date on the operations and safety of superstreet intersections.
