USER BENEFITS FROM AN ARTERIAL INCIDENT DETECTION AND RESPONSE SYSTEM

This paper is a result of an IDR (incident detection and response) system feasibility study performed for TxDOT for the arterials of northern Dallas County. This area includes portions of Carrolton, Farmers Branch, Richardson, Garland, Dallas, and Addison. Between these six jurisdictions there are over 1,500 lane miles of arterial roadways and 558 signalized intersections. This paper describes a procedure developed to estimate user benefits (in terms of dollars and pollutants) of an arterial incident detection and response system depending on the percent reduction in the average incident duration.
