• Abstract:
  Americans lose 3.7 billion hours and 2.3 billion gallons of fuel every year sitting in traffic. In 2004, trucks idling in traffic are estimated to have cost the trucking industry some 243 million hours, the equivalent of 17,000 work years, with a cost of $8 billion. To combat the country's growing transportation congestion problem, the U.S. Department of Transportation launched the National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America’s Transportation Network. One element of this initiative is to reduce incident-related congestion by promoting operational and technological improvements that increase incident response capabilities.
