• Abstract:
  Incident Management (IM) is an area of transportation management that can significantly decrease the congestion and increase the ; efficiency of transportation networks in non-ideal conditions. In this study, the existing state of the Integrated Incident Management ; System (IIMS) is reviewed, additional user requirements and applications are identified, potential obstacles to successful ; deployment are discussed, and identification of future steps towards deployment in western New York are determined. This is done ; through working with incident management organizations, reviewing other existing systems, and researching the potential of ; IIMS through use of the system. ; The main conclusions found are that: ; 1) The IIMS system has potential to greatly enhance coordination between agencies and that greater integration with existing ; systems will speed adoption; ; 2) The IIMS application would have several advantages such as easier incident reporting, decreased maintenance and expansion ; costs, and the ability to take real-time photos and video; ; 3) The primary obstacles to deployment are the difficulties with sharing sensitive information (i.e., privacy concerns) and the ; integration of existing similar and legacy transportation management systems used by the several agencies, along with a lack of ; deployed hardware for mobile clients; ; 4) Among other challenges are the need for personnel training, and the lack of screen space on the hand-held clients which ; precludes the entry of additional desirable information fields; ; 5) Among the future potential applications and benefits for IIMS include are: ; a. Expanded incident coverage; ; b. Access to archived incident data for research and training ; c. Integration with existing software reducing re-training requirements
