Performance Measure Evaluation of UDOT’s Traffic Incident Management Program

In this research, performance measures of the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Traffic Incident Management (TIM) program were analyzed. Performance measures were determined for responding Incident Management Teams (IMT) and Utah Highway Patrol (UHP) units at 168 crashes. Statistical analyses were conducted to understand how the existing IMT program was performing. Results of statistical analyses showed that the effect of IMT response time (RT) on roadway clearance time (RCT) was statistically significant, while RT was not significant on incident clearance time (ICT) at the 95% confidence level. On average, for each minute delay of IMT response time, 0.8 min is added to the RCT ranging from 0.1 to 1.4 min.
