• Abstract:
  Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) should have the ability to quickly share information on detected incidents, the response to incidents, and coordination with the appropriate agencies, emergency service providers, and stakeholders. Incident-related information may also need to be shared with various offices within an agency or the public. TMS staff typically disseminate incident information using email notifications, targeted telephone calls, or methods such as video feeds. Some agencies use software programs and services to share information within the agency or with others who may be involved in responding to or who require awareness of incidents and implications.
