1 Federal Highway Administration Traffic Incident Management Program Update

2 The Evolving Business Case: Why TIM? The business case for training incident responders: 1. The safety of incident responders. 2. The safety of all road users. 3. Congestion mitigation and commerce. Source: Arizona Department of Public Safety Source: Vince Fairhurst Source: Ron Moore 2

3 Responder Struck-By Fatalities In a typical year, the following number of responders are struck and killed: 10 Law Enforcement Officers. 4 Fire and Rescue Personnel. An estimated Towing and Recovery Professionals. Several transportation professionals from DOTs, Public Works, and Safety Service Patrol Programs. Sources: Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, National Fire Protection Association, Towing & Recovery Association of America 3

4 Unknown Number of Injuries and Property Damage Source: Ron Moore Source: Joseph Rose 4 Source: North Naples Fire Department Source: Tennessee Department of Transportation

5 What Are Key Performance Measures? Secondary Crashes Responder Struck By Incidents Roadway Clearance Time (RCT) Incident Clearance Time (ICT) As TIM programs mature, they collect more and detailed data for performance-informed planning and operations. 5

6 How do we find TIM-related crashes? How do you identify responders who are struck among hundreds or thousands of pedestrian crashes?

7 Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) 5 th Edition Under the Persons data elements, Person Type (P4) contains an element for Pedestrian (P4.1), Incident Responder (P4.2), and if YES, Type of Incident Responder 01 EMS 02 Fire 03 Police 04 Tow Operator 05 Transportation 4 states currently have something similar More to follow.

8 5 th Edition Summer 2017 Include the following data elements: C2 Crash Date and Time: Roadway Cleared C3 Secondary Crash: Y/N NM2.1 Working in Trafficway (Incident Response) P4.1 Pedestrian (Typically already present) P4.2 Incident Responder? and P4.2 Yes, Type of Responder with responder list Time Scene Cleared (Not MMUCC, used by 1/3 states)

11 Federal Highway Administration Traffic Incident Management The FHWA TIM Program goals are to advance safety and operations across the transportation system. FHWA will achieve these goals by pursuing two courses of action: Continued focus on traditional programs such as training, program development and capacity building, and Taking a leadership role with emerging technologies for responders: Connected and automated vehicles Computer aided Dispatch Data collection and use Accident reconstruction and more 11

12 Next Steps for the National TIM Program Developing a new TIM business case for national and State programs. Drafting a new 5-year Roadmap, which will: Keep traditional efforts (training, self assessments, program development, use of data) Incorporate advancing TIM-related technologies: Connected/Automated Vehicles and Automated Driving Systems Integrated Computer-Aided Dispatch Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Crowdsourcing/Big data 12

13 The Future of TIM Nationally Better trained TIM Responders. Increase the use of data to identify needs/focus. Connected and Automated Vehicle opportunities. Increased use of practical exercise facilities. Statewide or Regional TIM conferences. Expanded use of Integrated Computer-Aided Dispatch. Other Emerging Technologies (e.g., UAVs, Big Data). Crowdsourcing for Operations early notification. 13
