Federal Highway Administration Traffic Incident Management Program Update 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.

In a typical year, the following number of responders are struck and killed: 10 Law Enforcement Officers. 4 Fire and Rescue Personnel. An estimated 40-60 Towing and Recovery Professionals. Several transportation professionals from DOTs, Public Works, and Safety Service Patrol Programs.

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 How do we find TIM-related crashes?

How do you identify responders who are struck among hundreds or thousands of pedestrian crashes? Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) 5th 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. 5th 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) Accomplishments Highlights

• Nine States now collecting at least one TIM Crash Performance Measure in their crash Reports reports; 10 will add measures Data • Three States are training law enforcement Collection on data collection

Traffic Management Six States improving TMC (training, Center (TMC) software) data collection for TIM Data Performance Measures Collection

9 10 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 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 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 National TIM Responder Training Program Implementation Progress - As of October 29, 2018 Train-the-Trainer Sessions • 386 sessions with 11,336 participants • 23% of participants have provided training In-Person Responder Training • 13,719 sessions with 318,332 participants Web-Based Training (WBT) • 40,023 total | 29,422 NHI | 1,610 Other • 8,991 ERSI Responder Safety Learning Network Total Trained: 369,691 Implementation Progress, Percent Trained - As of October 29, 2018
