Development of a Statewide Pilot Project for Standardized TIM Performance Measurement and Reporting

This report describes the approach and findings associated with the development of a statewide pilot project for standardized traffic incident management (TIM) performance measurement and reporting. The project included four primary objectives: (1) benchmark Nevada’s practices against those of leading peer agencies, (2) assess the quantity and quality of incident data available in Nevada, (3) develop a prototype integrated TIM performance database using available data, and (4) develop a prototype interactive dashboard that displays TIM performance measures using the database. Five sources of incident data were assessed: the Nevada Department of Transportation’s (NDOT) freeway service patrol program; NDOT’s statewide crash database; the Nevada Highway Patrol’s computer-aided dispatch system; the Northern Nevada Road Operation Center; and the Freeway and Arterial System of Traffic. A step-by-step process for integrating data from the various sources was developed and implemented. A number of challenges and limitations associated with the data were identified. Finally, a prototype dashboard was developed that displays a variety of aggregate and disaggregate TIM performance measures. Recommendations for filling some of the data gaps are provided.
