Integration of a GIS and an expert system for freeway incident management
Congestion due to traffic accidents and incidents can be reduced through effective freeway incident management. However, this is plagued by a number of problems and requires a high level of expertise and coordination among the involved personnel. The ill-structured nature of the problem, constantly …

Examination Of Factors Affecting The Frequency, Response Time, And Clearance Time Of Incidents On Freeways
<p>Traffic incidents are the primary cause of non-recurrent congestion in urban areas, resulting in reductions in roadway capacity and significant safety hazards to other motorists, as well as first responders. Many communities have initiated incident management programs that detect and respond to …

A Comprehensive Mixed-Integer Programming Model to Optimize the Performance of Freeway Service Patrol Programs
Unexpected congestion due to incidents may cause a substantial delay for drivers and reduce the roadway safety. Effective incident management relies on many tools to lessen the overall impact of crashes, road debris, and disabled vehicles. Many urban areas have adopted freeway service patrol (FSP) …
