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

Traffic Management


• 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

Response to Traffic Incidents

Traffic Management


• 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


• 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

Traffic Management


• 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

Performance evaluation See Section 4.4

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)

3232

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.
