Project Background & IntroductionDr Aut Karndacharuk
1010
Background and motivation See Section 1
• Background: traffic incident management (TIM) is an evolving area of road transport management because of its complexity in managing multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional response to road traffic disruptions.
• Motivation: with the emergence of ITS and other transport technologies, Austroads has identified the lack of a nationally agreed framework across the member organisations as a gap in the TIM knowledge.

Austroads Project NS1017 See Appendix A
• TIM is a process of managing multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional response to road traffic incidents
• TIM encompasses the planning, management, operations and review of incident management activities
• The Austroads best practices report (AP-R304-07) identified a number of TIM techniques for incident detection, verification and response, traffic management and traveller information.

TIM Techniques from Literature ReviewDr Aut Karndacharuk
1515
Baseline TIM Techniques See Section 2.1
• Emergency phones
• In-road sensors− inductive loops− magnetometers− piezoelectric sensors
• Over-road sensors− Acoustic− Infrared − Laser-pulsed (LIDAR)− Pneumatic tubes− Radar− Ultrasonic
• Video camera system
• In-vehicle sensors
• Automatic Incident Detection (algorithm)
• Traffic incident watch (professional drivers)
• Static traffic and road space management devices (e.g. signage)
• Adaptive traffic control and communications devices (e.g. VMS and VSLS)
• Service patrol and incident response unit
1616
Smartphones & GNSS See Section 2.2
• Location-aware mobile devices − accelerometers− gyroscopic sensors− a compass
• Versatile sensing applications− Position of the phone / user− Mode of travel− Origin-destination patterns− Road network management
• Opportunity for use of mobile phone data for TIM
1717
C-ITS and DSRC See Section 2.2
• Cooperative-ITS (C-ITS)− vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) & vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I, V2X) communications
− Two key components: on-board and road-side units
• Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) is a primary component of C-ITS
• Applications (esp. by locating DSRC systems at intersections)− Improved traffic operation and management
− Road & traffic conditions
− Traveller information
• Opportunity to use ITS & DSRC technology for TIM
1818
Social media & crowdsourcing See Section 2.2
• Opportunity: utilise real-time social media to expedite the detection of a traffic incident
• Examples− Google through Waze app collect
driving data to optimise traffic routes
− Analysis of Tweeter feeds detect congestion and incident events
1919
Drones for traffic data See Section 2.2
• Configurations:− Navigation systems
− High-resolution cameras
− High-capacity data collection links
• Application: to collect data and information on traffic movements
• Opportunity: 3D laser scanning drones to expedite incident data collection

5 phases of Integrated Process for Traffic Incident Management (IPTIM)
2424
Multi-agency collaboration
• Effective TIM require good inter-agency coordination.
• Setting up a formal agreement or MoU can help to achieve efficient TIM.
• In Victoria, a MoU on Road Clearance has been signed between Victoria Police and VicRoads.
See Section 4.1
2525
Planning for TIM
• Operational planning for potential traffic incident scenarios is an important step.
• Most jurisdictions follow the current best practice recommended by Austroads.
• In New Zealand, the Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) is used to establish the structure, roles and processes in managing traffic related incident response.
See Section 4.2

Traveller Information
• Incident detection is the very first action in incident management.
• Different technologies are currently in place across Australasia.
• Verification of incidents is heavily relied upon field units.
• In South Australia, based Bluetooth technology DPTI has developed an app, Addinsight, that can identify incidents and notify drivers.
See Section 4.3.1

Traffic Management
Traveller Information
• Response to traffic incidents is categorised according to the nature and severity of the incident.
• Austroads NS1017 had proposed a ‘five-level’ incident classification based on the expected duration and the nature of the incident.
• In Queensland, TMR is actively rolling out an emergency vehicle priority system.

Traffic Management
Traveller Information
• Traffic management is the application of traffic control measures in incident affected areas.
• Traffic management procedures vary based on the type of road, diversion route, and the weight and size of vehicles.
• In Western Australia, key stakeholders use laser scanning survey equipment to quickly capture a permanent 3D, 360 degree visual record of the accident scene in great detail.
See Section 4.3.3

Traveller Information
• Responsible agencies across Australasia use different sources/technologies to disseminate incident-related information.
• Dissemination can be improved by extracting real-time incident-related data from social media.
• South Australian Addinsight system includes a smartphone app that provides drivers with real-time congestion information and the TMC with raw traffic data from about 15% of the traffic using the network.
See Section 4.3.4

Item Input Process Output
Incident Management
Detection and verification Response, performance evaluation and review
Minimise traffic delays; maintain safety
Potential measures • number of incidents (by category: major, intermediate, minor)
• time to detect, verify
• response time of responders• response time (detection to
activation)• number of traffic diversions• time to clear incidents• duration of incidents• number of responses to
enquiries• lane-loss time• relationships with responders• major incident debrief/audit
• delays due to incidents• secondary incidents• customer satisfaction
(complaints, media reports)

Capability development
• Capabilities can be improved firstly within individual agencies and secondly across multiple agencies, at both the strategic and operational levels.
• Transport agencies provide in-house courses plus some inter-agency desktop and field training on the usage of software tools and equipment.
• Microscopic simulation modelling is an effective tool.
• Capability development towards technological advancements should be given greater priority.
