GETAWAY FLOW RATES FOR FREEWAY INCIDENT AND GEOMETRIC BOTTLENECKS

Analyses on both manual- and computer-detected freeway data in this study have shown that two distinct getaway flow rates do exist -- one for freeway incidents, the other for freeway geometric bottlenecks. The getaway flow rate values reported can be used in delay computational analyses for low cost freeway incident management systems.
