Abstract:

Traffic Incident Management, or TIM, offers coordinated strategies to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents. TIM programs increase traveler and responder safety. They also improve travel reliability, air quality, energy use, and commerce on all roadways. When a crash, debris, stalled vehicle, or other incident affects roadways, TIM programs work to make sure responders collaborate to clear the incident scene safely and quickly. Firefighters, emergency medical services and technicians, law enforcement, towing and recovery, public works, transportation, and 911 dispatchers are many of the disciplines that work together using well-rehearsed procedures and advanced technologies to save lives, prevent secondary crashes, and return traffic to normal conditions.
