Integrated Traffic and Emergency Response: Success Factors
(website link) or (download .pdf
of report here)
Building on the efforts of a previous UTCA (University Transportation
Center for Alabama) project and the work of others across the country,
this project develops and implements a quantitative survey of
integrated traffic management and emergency response systems.
The project focuses on calibrating important success factors of
integrated programs to reach clear conclusions about what works and
what doesn’t work – and the circumstances that impact success or
failure. These findings are critical to both Alabama and
national stakeholders who recognize the benefits of working to
integrate traffic management and emergency response systems and the
need to make the best use of their limited resources toward this goal.
Report date: September 30, 2003, Authors: Drs. Michele D. Bunn and
Grant T. Savage, Agency: University Transportation Center for Alabama
(UTCA) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. |

TIM Will Help:
Traffic incident management programs provide a head start for security
planning and operations
Traffic incident management (TIM)
relies upon the coordinated, pre-planned utilization of human and
technological resources to safely and efficiently restore normal
operating conditions to a highway facility disrupted by a traffic
incident. These fundamental TIM activities can equally apply to
ensuring a more secure surface transportation system by providing a
blueprint for responding to and managing major crises ranging from a
catastrophic terrorist incident to recovery from a natural disaster.
By Steve Cyra. Cyra is Great Lakes Division ITS director for HNTB
Corp, and Co-Chair of the TIM Committee. From the Transportation
Management + Engineering magazine (TME) website, TMEMag.com.
