What is a is a traffic incident?
                            Definition contained in
                              MUTCD Part 6I:

                            A traffic incident is
                             an emergency road
                             user occurrence, a
                             natural disaster, or
                             other unplanned
                             event that affects
                             or impedes normal
                             flow of traffic.

Incident Stages
•   Detection
•   Verification                   • Response sequencing is
•   Response                          dependent upon incident type
                                      and severity
•   Clearance                      • Response begins as a dispatch
                                      function
•   Recovery                       • Roles and responsibilities arise
•   Site management                • Response sub-phases require
                                      continuing coordination,
•   Traffic management                logistics and staging
•   Motorist information
•   After Action Review
•   Stages are not sequential!!
•   Response, clearance and site management can begin
    at once with proper agency coordination.

Effects of an Incident
             Secondary                    • For every minute a lane
                                            is blocked on freeway,
             Fatal Crash                    four minutes of
                                            congestion are created

                                          • Approximately 20% of
                                            all roadway crashes are

Why TIM Training?
                                •    There are several public health and safety
                                     benefits.
                                •    For every minute that an Interstate lane is
                                     blocked because of a traffic incident, a 4-
                                     to5-minute travel delay can be expected
                                     to result (3).
                                •    Secondary crashes are often more severe
                                •    A strong interdisciplinary traffic incident
                                     management program can significantly
                                     decrease incident duration and, when
                                     combined with traveler information, can
                                     increase peak-period freeway speeds,
                                     reduce crash rates, and improve trip time
                                     reliability.
                                •    To realize this type of traffic incident
                                     management program, it is imperative to
                                     have a sound and effective training
                                     program for incident responders and
                                     managers.

Primary Function of TTC
• The primary functions of TTC at a traffic incident
  management area are to inform road users of the
    Inform road
  incident and to provide guidance information on
  the path toof
       users follow through the incident area.
• Alerting road users and establishing a well
       incident          Provide
  defined path to guide road users through the
  incident area will serve to protect the incident
                       guidance on
  responders and those involved in working at the
                      path to follow
  incident scene and will aid in moving road users
  expeditiously past or around the traffic incident,
  will reduce the likelihood of secondary traffic
  crashes, and will preclude unnecessary use of the
  surrounding local road system.

What are primary core
              competencies?
Primary core competencies were defined as those shared or
similar actions typically taken at each incident type by at least
three on-scene responder groups.
Every incident responder active in that incident management
phase—regardless of responder type—should know how to
implement these core competencies.
For example, using emergency responder vehicles
to create a safe work area at the incident scene and wearing
appropriate high-visibility protective apparel are primary
core competencies for all incident responders.




6/11/2012                 MATC Summer Institute 2012                12
What are secondary core
                 competencies?
• Secondary core competencies for each incident type were
defined as those actions that a specific responder group performs
that all other responder groups should understand and
be aware of. Every incident responder active in that phase of
response should be aware of these competencies because they are
interdependent.
However, individual responders may not need to know how to actually
implement them.
 In addition to primary and secondary competencies, certain core discipline-
specific competencies were included.
• Discipline-specific competencies are those that only one
responder group performs but are of such a critical nature
that it is necessary for all disciplines to be aware of their existence
and performance, such as hazardous materials (hazmat)
cleanup.

Adult Learning Principals

• Adult learning principles state that adults
  learn more effectively when they can
  understand the intrinsic value of the
  materials being covered and are motivated to
  learn to the extent that they perceive that
  learning will help them perform tasks or is
  relevant in dealing with real-life situations .
• Adult students gain new knowledge,
  understanding, skills, values, and attitudes
  most effectively when offered real-life or
  experience-oriented learning.

Iowa Volunteer Fireman Killed
Iowan killed directing cars on I-80
A 41-year-old Minden, Iowa, man was hit by a
    car and killed Sunday as he was directing
    traffic around an Interstate 80 accident near
    Shelby, Iowa, the Iowa State Patrol said.
Michael Collins was pronounced dead at scene,
    the State Patrol said.
The fatality was reported at 6:50 p.m.
A 2001 Honda Accord driven by 43-year-old
    David Lee Thies of Ames, Iowa, entered an
    eastbound traffic lane that had been closed
    where a previous crash occurred, the Patrol
    said. The Iowa Department of
    Transportation reported already restricted
    lanes in the area because of bridge repair
    work.
The accidents tied up eastbound I-80 traffic for
    hours Sunday evening. Part of the road
    reopened about 8:40 p.m., and full traffic
    was restored about two hours later.

    statutory discretion to determine when closing
    a state highway is justified; and the Department
    makes all reasonable efforts to keep traffic on
    state maintained highways moving at all times.
•   At times, the Nebraska State Patrol may initiate
    road closures and will notify the NDOR Area
    Maintenance Superintendent or designee of the
    closure when that occurs. The NSP is then
    responsible for traffic control until NDOR
    personnel arrive. Jointly, NDOR and NSP
    determine the need for a detour route. When a
    closure occurs on the Interstate, the NSP may
    utilize the Department’s road closure gates for
    traffic control.

Facts About Secondary Crashes
                                       •    The likelihood of a secondary crash increases by
                                            2.8 percent for each minute the primary incident
                                            continues to be a hazard.
            Secondary crashes are
            often more severe! •            Causes include the dramatic change in traffic
                                            conditions, including the rapid spreading of
                                            queue length, and the substantial drop in traffic
                                            speed, as well as rubbernecking.

                                       •    Secondary crashes due to congestion resulting
                                            from a previous crash are estimated to represent
                                            20 percent of all crashes.

                                       •    Incident management programs prevent
                                            secondary incidents by reducing the duration of
                                            traffic incidents, and by publicizing the incident
                                            using changeable message signs and traveler
                                            information systems.
                                       •    – 13-20% of rush hour crashes are because of
                                       •    congestion from previous incident
                                       •    – Each traffic crash on a freeway increases the risk
                                            of secondary crash by 600%

Feasibility, Flexibility, Interoperability and Collaboration



The only existing framework
that encompasses both
transportation and emergency
management communications
is the National Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS)
Architecture.
It provides three layers—
institutional,
traffic/transportation, and
communications—in which to
build any and all aspects of
TIM and is an established
foundation for TIM
Framework.

The Traffic/Services Layer of the Framework




Traffic / Services
•   The Traffic/services layer is where
    the emergency response and traffic
    solutions are defined in terms of the
    communications functions, the underlying
    functionality and data definitions that are
    required for each TIM service.
•    This layer, the heart of the National ITS
    Architecture, is referred to as
    “Transportation” in the National ITS
    Architecture.
•    As part of the TIM Framework, the layer is
    more focused on the traffic and emergency
    services portion of the National ITS
    Architecture, and it provides a framework
    for applying technology in a consistent,
    progressive, and effective fashion to
    improve the services in the traffic and
    emergency management system for surface
    highways.
•    The majority of the TIM Framework has a
    significant focus on this layer because TIM
    is service and operations oriented.

The Communications Layer of TIM Framework




The communications layer
provides for the accurate
and timely exchange of
information between TIM
stakeholders and their
systems to support
traffic/service solutions.
This layer is the heart of

Rest in Peace
• On September 18, 2011, a 41-year-old male volunteer fire fighter (the
  victim) lost his life while directing traffic at a motor vehicle collision
  on an interstate highway.
• The victim responded to the scene in the department's rescue truck
  to establish a traffic incident management area (TIMA) while an
  ambulance crew from his department checked on vehicle occupants
  involved in the collision.
• After establishing and repositioning the TIMA, the victim
  positioned himself in the left lane ahead of the TIMA to direct
  oncoming motorists to the right lane.
• The victim was struck while standing on the left shoulder/left lane
  when a motorist swerved to the left from the right lane of travel to
  avoid hitting a vehicle in the right lane.
• The victim was pronounced dead on the scene.

Recommendation #1:
• Fire departments should ensure that
 emergency responders receive
 proper training, and have adequate
 staffing, sufficient equipment, and
 appropriate procedures in place for
 responding to and operating at a
 roadway emergency incident.

  6/11/2012      MATC Summer Institute 2012   39
Recommendation #2:
Fire departments should ensure that
standard operating guidelines include
guidance on identifying and maintaining a
safe location while working in or near
moving traffic.



  6/11/2012       MATC Summer Institute 2012   40
Recommendation #3:
• Fire departments should establish pre-
  incident plans and agreements regarding
  traffic control incident management at
  roadway incidents with other public
  safety agencies (e.g., fire departments,
  EMS, and law enforcement), local/state
  departments of highways, and private
  sector responders.
  6/11/2012       MATC Summer Institute 2012   41
Recommendation #4:
Fire departments should ensure that high-
visibility chevrons and reflective markings
are applied to all apparatus to enhance
conspicuity while parked at emergency
scenes and during emergency response.



  6/11/2012        MATC Summer Institute 2012   42
Recommendation #5:
Motorists should be attentive at all times
while operating a motor vehicle, especially
when approaching and driving through a
traffic incident management area, so that
they avoid striking emergency responders,
other vehicles, and/or traffic control
devices.

  • 9. Why TIM Training? • There are several public health and safety benefits. • For every minute that an Interstate lane is blocked because of a traffic incident, a 4- to5-minute travel delay can be expected to result (3). • Secondary crashes are often more severe • A strong interdisciplinary traffic incident management program can significantly decrease incident duration and, when combined with traveler information, can increase peak-period freeway speeds, reduce crash rates, and improve trip time reliability. • To realize this type of traffic incident management program, it is imperative to have a sound and effective training program for incident responders and managers. 6/11/2012 MATC Summer Institute 2012 9

  • 12. What are primary core competencies? Primary core competencies were defined as those shared or similar actions typically taken at each incident type by at least three on-scene responder groups. Every incident responder active in that incident management phase—regardless of responder type—should know how to implement these core competencies. For example, using emergency responder vehicles to create a safe work area at the incident scene and wearing appropriate high-visibility protective apparel are primary core competencies for all incident responders. 6/11/2012 MATC Summer Institute 2012 12
  • 13. What are secondary core competencies? • Secondary core competencies for each incident type were defined as those actions that a specific responder group performs that all other responder groups should understand and be aware of. Every incident responder active in that phase of response should be aware of these competencies because they are interdependent. However, individual responders may not need to know how to actually implement them. In addition to primary and secondary competencies, certain core discipline- specific competencies were included. • Discipline-specific competencies are those that only one responder group performs but are of such a critical nature that it is necessary for all disciplines to be aware of their existence and performance, such as hazardous materials (hazmat) cleanup. 6/11/2012 MATC Summer Institute 2012 13
  • 14. Adult Learning Principals • Adult learning principles state that adults learn more effectively when they can understand the intrinsic value of the materials being covered and are motivated to learn to the extent that they perceive that learning will help them perform tasks or is relevant in dealing with real-life situations . • Adult students gain new knowledge, understanding, skills, values, and attitudes most effectively when offered real-life or experience-oriented learning. 6/11/2012 MATC Summer Institute 2012 14

Iowa Volunteer Fireman Killed Iowan killed directing cars on I-80 A 41-year-old Minden, Iowa, man was hit by a car and killed Sunday as he was directing traffic around an Interstate 80 accident near Shelby, Iowa, the Iowa State Patrol said. Michael Collins was pronounced dead at scene, the State Patrol said. The fatality was reported at 6:50 p.m. A 2001 Honda Accord driven by 43-year-old David Lee Thies of Ames, Iowa, entered an eastbound traffic lane that had been closed where a previous crash occurred, the Patrol said. The Iowa Department of Transportation reported already restricted lanes in the area because of bridge repair work. The accidents tied up eastbound I-80 traffic for hours Sunday evening. Part of the road reopened about 8:40 p.m., and full traffic was restored about two hours later. — Susan Szalewski 6/11/2012 MATC Summer Institute 2012 15
