T3 Webinar: Traffic Incident Management-What’s New?

Traffic Incident Management (TIM) consists of a planned and coordinated multi-disciplinary approach to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible. Effective TIM strategies reduces the duration and impacts of traffic incidents and improves the safety of motorists, crash victims, and emergency responders. Currently, there are new and updated reports, events, and training sessions that contribute to the success of the practice.
The webinar covers Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) TIM updates, which include: information about the “Traffic Incident Awareness Week,” SHRP2 National TIM Responder training and its evaluation, Every Day Counts-4 “Using Data to Improve TIM,” and other resources.
The webinar examines the technology used for the investigation and reconstruction of traffic crashes and provides information about each technology’s capabilities and limitations to inform crash investigation units of available options.
The final presentations include two TIM experts sharing information about Tennessee Department of Transportation’s (TDOT) Advanced TIM training and the agency’s Predictive Analytics project. TDOT’s training is a program developed in response to the SHRP2 L12 and L32 modules. This program is intended to develop concepts that are more advanced than the TIM 4-hour program. The advanced concepts involve full-scale training exercises on the TIM Training Track located in Nashville, TN. Finally, a speaker shares TDOT’s Predictive Analytics project’s research, review of technologies, and recommendations to improve investigation strategies and reconstruction methods of crash sites
