Abstract:

On rural roadways, traffic incident responders face several unique roadway characteristics and conditions that create safety challenges for both responders and the traveling public. These safety challenges can slow the Traffic Incident Management (TIM) response timeline (detection, notification, and arrival stages), disrupt responder communications, and require additional personnel for tasks like manual traffic control, all while stretching often limited responder resources.
