Traffic Incident Management (TIM) is the process to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible. Traffic incidents are unplanned events, such as crashes, that impact traffic flow, and TIM refers to the coordinated process to respond to and clear the incidents.
NCHRP Web-Only Document 395: Impacts of Connected, Automated Vehicle Technologies on Traffic Incident Management Response, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, aims to understand how connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) may impact TIM activities, including potential risks and benefits, and how (or if) responders are currently engaging with these technologies.
The document is supplemental to NCHRP Research Report 1104: Integrating Traffic Incident Management and Connected, Automated Technology Communities: A Guide for Communicating and Connecting. Supplemental to the document are an Implementation Plan, a Project Overview Presentation, and a White Paper that relates emergency response and CAV technology in the context of eight scenarios.
