A Study on Freeway Traffic Incident Duration and Improvement Countermeasures

Abstract:

Reducing the duration of freeway traffic incident plays a significant role in improving the efficiency of freeway transportation. The duration of freeway traffic incidents is composed of four stages: the discovery time, response time, clearing time and the recovery time. Through analyzing the key factors influencing different duration stations, this article studies how factors including incident severity, aid resource allocation and emergency rescue preplan influence the duration, and pointedly propose countermeasures to reduce freeway traffic incidents duration. The conclusion of this article provides reference for improving the efficiency in freeway traffic incident management. Key words: traffic incident; duration; factor analysis; improve countermeasures
