Traffic Incident Management
Ray Murphy, US DOT – FHWA
Presentation Topics I. National TIM Program… FHWA’s vision
II. Business Case for TIM… why it’s important
III. National Unified Goal… working together
IV. TIM Process… it’s a team effort
V. SHRP2 TIM Training
2
Traffic Incident Management (TIM)
TIM consists of a planned and coordinated multi-disciplinary process to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible
Effective TIM reduces the duration and impacts of traffic incidents and improves the safety of motorists, crash victims and emergency responders
3
National TIM Program Vision… Reduce or eliminate responder & motorist injuries & fatalities
Promote rapid incident clearance
TIM Programs that benefit corridors, regions and states
Emphasize TIM as a system operations “core mission”
Measure performance / improved TIM responses and programs
Standardize Training

Quantifying the Problem - Motorist Safety
Every hour, car crashes kill an average of four people on America's roads.
“Traffic crashes really need to be moved to the forefront of the American discussion as the public safety (and) health threat that
they are," observes AAA .5
II. Business Case for TIM
Evolving Business Case: Why TIM?
Quantifying the Problem - Responder Safety
Average annual number of responders struck and killed nationally while working in or near moving traffic:

As of March 2013 Killed in the Line of Duty Law Enforcement 14 Fire Fighters 6 EMS 7 Tow/Recovery 5
Highway: 100 /year + 20,000 injured
Fire/Rescue & EMS: 6 to 8 /year Law Enforcement: 10 to 12
/year Tow/Recovery: 50 /year

Evolving Business Case: Why TIM?
Quantifying the Problem - Secondary Incidents
Estimated 20-25% of all incidents are secondary
They generate ~18 percent of accident fatalities
The likelihood of a secondary incident increases ~3% for every minute An incident lasting 35 minutes or more has
almost a 100% likelihood of a secondary incident occurring
Often more severe than the primary incident
7 Evolving Business Case: Why TIM?
Quantifying the Problem - Societal Costs
“The emotional toll for Americans who lose a friend or loved one in a motor vehicle crash has a steep financial
counterpart - an average $6 million per
fatal accident”
Annual cost of traffic crashes: $299.5 B Cost per person ≈ $1,522 8 Evolving Business Case: Why TIM?

Quantifying the Problem - Freight Issues

~25,000 per day
~14,000 per day
Average Daily Long-Haul Freight Truck Traffic on the National Highway System: 2009
2009
Our highway system handled the movement of 44 million tons of freight (on average), worth $40 billion, each day in 2009.
Evolving Business Case: Why TIM?
12
~40,000 per day
~20,000 per day
2040
Projected Average Daily Long-Haul Freight Truck Traffic on the National Highway System: 2040
projections indicate that these numbers will climb to approximately 74 million tons and $108 billion per day by the year 2040

Incident Command System (ICS)
Unified Command Utilized when incidents require
multijurisdictional or multiagency response
Allows all agencies to: Work together respecting authority,
responsibility or accountability Manage an incident together by establishing a
common set of incident objectives and strategies22
ICS is a subset of the Department of Homeland Security’s National Incident Management System (NIMS).
Clearance / Removal
Restoration of capacity
May require specialized equipment
Often most critical step due to length of time
Quick clearance and removal
23 common clearance goals
Wyoming “Move-Over Law” Statute: § 31-5-224
Measuring Success What Gets Measured Gets Performed...
Quantifying TIM benefits will advance program continuity:Builds program support from managers &
elected officials:• Supporting what works
Ensures buy-in from diverse stakeholders:• Multiple agencies, coordinated response
Supports allocation of technical and budget resources24

Newly Released
TIM Performance Measures
“Incident” Clearance Time The time between the first recordable awareness and
the time at which the last responder has left the scene.
Secondary Crashes The number of secondary crashes beginning with the
time of detection of the primary incident where a collision occurs
25
“Roadway” Clearance Time The time between first recordable awareness
of an incident (detection/ notification/verification) and confirmation that all lanes are available for traffic flow.

Real-time, accurate traveler information is key to managing an incident
After-Action Review (AAR) / Debrief A function of an on-going
TIM Program (not at the incident scene)
Helps ensure success
Facilitates inter-agency relationships
Evaluation What went well?
What went not so well?
How can we do better?
30
AAR / DebriefingsTypical Incident AAR/Debrief
Review basic details of incident Utilize pictures and/or video to
illustrate incident scene
Roundtable discussion/agency perspectives Discuss issues and/or areas of concern Identify solutions/enhancements
No finger pointing!Identify at least one action item
per AAR/Debrief31

Developing a TIM Program The goal of a TIM
program is not to create a response, but rather to allow for a more effective, efficient response for all responding agencies
TIM programs and associated committees and/or task forces are sustained and on-going32
Identify, involve, encourage participation from all responding agencies and stakeholders (i.e. TIM Committee)
Establish & maintain relationships
Collectively assess the “climate” - Where are we now?
Collectively establish goals for performance and progress - Where do we want/need to go?
Committees Meet regularly to: Establish, confirm, reinforce goals/objectives
Consider a vision or mission development activity and subsequent “charter” or “MOU” signed by all participants
Identify, discuss problem areas, needs
Collaborate in developing solutions, strategies
Conduct after-action reviews, debriefs
Promote awareness of on-going TIM-related activities and initiatives
Monitor training requirements
Establish, reinforce and renew relationships33
