Topics range from environment and development, management of the Aswan High Dam, public policy diffusion, distance and direction in urban density modeling and in regional settlement patterns, application of information theoretic models, hierarchical goal programming, multiobjective location analysis, intelligent transportation systems and environmental justice. Dr. Haynes has been an advisor, consultant or project leader with New York City's Central Manhattan Circulation Study; Texas Land Office; Texas Governor's Office; Indiana's Departments of Commerce, Natural Resources, Economic Development Council and the Vocational and Technical College System.

He has conducted strategic planning for private organizations (e.g., Xerox, Exxon) and public organizations (e.g., in southwest Pennsylvania, Indianapolis and Boston and the Kaohsiung Metropolitan Foundation). Dr. Haynes was an originating member of the National Science Foundation's Decision, Risk and Management Science Panel and its transportation and infrastructure initiatives. His monograph on university R&D infrastructure investment patterns in the U.S. was used for the New Agenda for Science program of Sigma Xi and the National Science Foundation's infrastructure program. He was environmental chair for the International Exchange of Scholars, managing congressionally funded international scholar programs including the Fulbright exchanges. He served as a member of the board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science's Social, Economic and Political Science Section. He was a governor, past-president, and now Fellow of the Western Regional Science Association and completed a two-year term as President of the seventy-five nation Regional Science Association International. He has served as editor and has been on the editorial board of over a dozen international scholarly journals. He received the Boyce Award in 1997 for his work in the Regional Science Association International, the Anderson Medal in 2000 for his activity in Applied Research and the Ullman Award in 2003 in recognition of his contribution to transportation research. In 2002 he was elected to the National Academy of Public Administration. In 2006 he was elected a Fellow of the Regional Science Association International, and also in 2006 he presented the ninth lecture for the UNESCO sponsored Megacities Foundation and the Netherlands Institute for City Innovation Studies on “Infrastructure: The Glue of Megacities” at The Hague. In 2007 he was awarded the ninth National Geographic Society’s President Gilbert H. Grosvenor Medal by Texas State University for his work in Geographic Education.
