• Abstract:
  This evaluation report provides background on the development and findings. The aim of the UTRC project was to develop and ; deploy Portable IIMS based on Smartphone web applications. Previously, traditional IIMS was deployed in the field vehicles ; networked to central system. The transition from the vehicle-based IIMS to portable smartphones based applications has ; enhanced Stakeholders’ experiences and ability to increase usage, and now ready for large-scale deployment. The users and ; stakeholders-agencies have concluded this effort as a success. ; The observations reveal field situations where IIMS can improve incident response operations. The following are some of the ; high level findings that led the research team to conclude that the project was the right system for the users in Region 11 and can ; be extended to other regions and their Traffic Management Centers (TMCs): ;  Responders have opportunity to gather more detailed data and transmit in real- time to others for simultaneous ; decision making to improve response time and proper resources. ;  Reduction in roadway damage condition assessment and repair needs and minimize lane closures and incident ; duration. (e.g. overturned trucks and multiple lane closures). ;  Reduction in incident verification and communications times. ;  The evaluation case studies have shown the potential for IIMS to further improve mobility and emergency ; management such as snow conditions. ;  IIMS has the potential to improve traveler and responder safety ;  Reduction in exposure times for responding personnel. ;  IIMS has the potential to provide energy and environmental benefits. ;  IIMS has improved the incident management documentation process, with 24/7 archived data availability as well as ; ability to update reports off-line. ;  IIMS has improved the post-incident analysis process through the provision of a centralized database of incident ; records and through the maintenance of archived
