摘要: An effective incident management program can significantly reduce the effects of incidents on freeways. Many incident management strategies depend on some aspect of geometric design; the travel time required for emergency vehicles to reach the site of the incident, for example, is affected by accessibility to the incident. Freeway features such as refuge areas, emergency crossovers, and incident location strategies may enable emergency personnel to respond to incidents in a safer and more timely manner. Researcher reviewed existing literature, administered a survey of those involved in incident management, and made on-site visits to locations that have implemented selected incident management strategies.
