Abstract:Our nation's economy is highly dependent on reliable and cost-effective truck-freight
transportation. Delays to truck movement are of particular concern to the nation. Building upon
our previous effort, we developed an Incident Decision Support System (IDSS) that uses GPS-equipped commercial trucks as probe vehicles on key freight corridors such as inter-regional
corridors (IRC) and supplemental freight routes in Minnesota. An automatic incident detection
algorithm was developed: (a) to be used by truck drivers and dispatchers who need to make
necessary routing and operations decisions when incidents occur, (b) to support incident decision
making by state DOTs and (c) for traveler information purposes.
The objective of this project was to develop an Incident Decision Support System (IDSS), that
uses GPS-equipped commercial trucks as probe vehicles on freight corridors, to detect incidents
and provide incident information in real-time to truck operators on rural corridors where
infrastructure-based sensing is unavailable.
