Improving the Quality of Traffic Records for Traffic Incident Management
项目名称: Improving the Quality of Traffic Records for Traffic Incident Management
摘要: Traffic incidents on U.S. roadways put the lives of travelers and first responders at risk and account for roughly 25 percent of all delays. The resulting congestion can lead to secondary crashes, further increasing safety risks and economic costs. An ideal Traffic Incident Management (TIM) program relies on efficient data collection, analysis, and reporting to measure performance and identify areas for improvement. However, performance management through enhanced data collection remains elusive in many jurisdictions that either do not collect TIM data or collect data for a small percentage of traffic incidents. A workgroup comprised of state, federal, and Incident Management staff has identified the resources, tools, and technologies is needed to begin collecting data on three performance measures: Roadway Clearance Time (RCT), Incident Clearance Time (ICT), and Secondary Crashes (SC). Furthermore, the eCRASH database has been identified as the primary a source for gaining most of this information.
