From these responsibilities, he has had broad personal contact with federal, state, and local agencies responsible for highway safety. Before joining MRI, Dr. Glennon was a research engineer with the Texas Transportation Institute from 1967 to 1972, and the California Division of Highways from 1964 to 1967.

Dr. Glennon has authored over 120 technical papers and reports, many of which have gained national and international recognition. He has achievement awards from the Transportation Research Board, Institute of Transportation Engineers, National Science Foundation, American Society of Civil Engineers, and Midwest Research Institute.

Dr. Glennon is a registered engineer in California, Texas, and Kansas, and is a member of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Transportation Research Board, National Society of Professional Engineers (Retired), and National Association of Professional Accident Reconstruction Specialists. He has chaired several committees and sub-committees for these organizations.

Developed and edited Midwest Traffic Safety Journal. Developed and managed state and local safety projects, conferences, and workshops.

Given additional title of Manager, Design and Operation Program, and direct supervision of eight people in 1975. This resulted from project development, that increased group size from eight to 23 people.

Principal investigator or project leader on seven projects including: (1) Development of comprehensive technical guidelines for access control, FHWA, $222,000; (2) Accident and speed studies in construction zones, FHWA, $172,000; (3) Roadside safety programming on non-freeway facilities, FHWA, $37,000; (4) Development of a manual on high-accident location analysis, Missouri Highway Commission, $34,000; (5) Development of a comprehensive traffic safety improvement program, Shawnee, Kansas, $27,000; (6) Development and presentation of workshops on high-accident location analysis for small-city personnel, Missouri Highway Commission, $22,000; and (7) Comparison of reflective materials for license plates, 3M Company, $3,000.

Particularly significant are Projects 1 and 4 above. The technical guidelines for access control were distributed nationwide by FHWA to state and local jurisdictions, with suggestion that they be adopted as policy. The Missouri manual was reprinted in 10,000 copies by the FHWA Office of Highway Safety and also distributed nationwide.

Given additional title of Principal Transportation Engineer in January 1977, in recognition of outstanding professional stature. Only electee of several candidates for principal level in 1976-1977.
