• Abstract:
  According to the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 6 million crashes occur every year in the United States. Each crash places responders, motorists, and those nearby at high risk of secondary crashes. Crashes, along with a broader set of roadway incidents, severely congest roadways, straining travel reliability and commerce. Incident response also strains local response workforces, taking time from other pressing community needs. New technology, data, and training mechanisms are now available to improve safety and travel reliability for roadway incidents. State, local, and Tribal entities, even those without a formal TIM program or a traffic management center, can implement new TIM methods to save more lives, time, and money
