Quick Clearance of Major Traffic Incidents

This project investigates the causes of long clearance times of major traffic incidents in California and proposes ways to reduce major incident clearance times. Major incidents are defined as those taking 30 minutes or more to clear. The research team examined regional sources or causes of incident clearance delay, identified appropriate responsive traffic incident management (TIM) tools and strategies shown to be successful in reducing incident clearance times, and provided recommendations for improving ongoing performance measurement to support continuous improvement in safe, quick incident clearance.
