• Abstract:
  In designing an effective traffic management plan for non-recurrent congestion, it is critical for responsible highway agencies to have some vital information, such as estimated incident duration, resulting traffic queues, and the expected delays. Over the past two decades, despite the popular implementation of incident response programs by most highway agencies, a reliable tool for them to estimate such vital information for traffic management remains unavailable. Using the valuable incident data collected by CHART over the past several years, this project, focused on developing a decision-support tool for freeway incident traffic management.
