Adam Pike is an Associate Research Engineer with the Signs and Markings Program of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. He has conducted research on traffic signing, pavement marking, and work zones with an emphasis on traffic engineering principles, visibility needs, human factors, cost-benefit analysis, and safety implications. Mr. Pike holds a Master of Science degree from Texas A&M University. He is active with multiple committees of the Transportation Research Board, is a member of the Signing and Marking Materials Committee, and is also active with multiple committees of ASTM International.
