Incident Evaluation Procedures and Implementation Requirements (0-4745-2)

Project 0-4745 developed a geographic information system (GIS)-based approach for the determination of patterns in the spatial and temporal distribution of incidents along freeway corridors. The research documented incident detection and data archival at several transportation management centers (TMCs) in Texas, a process to develop a data model and geodatabase of intelligent transportation system (ITS) equipment and archived ITS data, and a process to determine patterns in the spatial and temporal distribution of freeway incidents. This report contains products 0-4745-P3 (which includes detailed incident evaluation procedures) and 0¬4745-P4 (which addresses process definitions and implementation recommendations) that were developed during the second phase of research project 0-4745.
