Study Title: Diverging Diamond Interchange Performance Evaluation (I-44 & Route 13)
Authors: Chilukuri et al.
Publication Date:FEB, 2011
Abstract: Performance evaluation was conducted on the first "diverging diamond interchange (DDI)" or "double crossover interchange (DCD)" constructed in the United States. This evaluation assessed traffic operations, safety and public perceptions to determine the changes between the previous standard diamond interchange and the new DDI/DCD.
