Integrating Traffic Incident Management and Connected, Automated Technology Communities: A Guide for Communicating and Connecting

As vehicle technology advances, Traffic Incident Management (TIM) and emergency responders (ERs) are facing unprecedented circumstances in knowing how to engage with and respond to connected, automated vehicles (CAV). Uncertainty is complicated by limited communications and information exchanged between CAV developers, TIM, and ERs.

NCHRP Research Report 1104: Integrating Traffic Incident Management and Connected, Automated Technology Communities: A Guide for Communicating and Connecting, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, aims to provide the resources to foster active collaboration and connection between CAV developers, TIM, ERs. The guide serves to equip ERs and members of the TIM community with the information, tools, and communication products to effectively engage CAV developers, CAV technologies, and the broader CAV industry.

Supplemental to the report is NCHRP Web-Only Document 395: Impacts of Connected, AutomatedVehicle Technologies on Traffic Incident Management Response.  The report and supplement are available from the TRB web site at https://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/183209.aspx
