The objective of the Corridor Incident Management (CIM) research project was to develop and demonstrate a set of multi-purpose methods, tools and databases to improve corridor incident management in Tennessee, relying primarily on resources already available within the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The department has extensive information about the highway infrastructure, traffic characteristics, and services for highway users as well as an array of tools and procedures for transportation planning and project development. The project explored ways to effectively use those existing resources for new purposesto improve incident management and emergency transportation operations. The end product was a set of CDs, one for each of five pilot counties. Each CD has multiple folders and files with point-and-click access to facilitate use by TDOT and other state and local agencies that share responsibilities for incident management and emergency operations. This report explains the objectives of the project, provides an overview of the end products, and describes the procedures used to develop those products. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Tennessee Dept. of Transportation, Nashville. and Federal Highway Administration, Nashville, TN.
