Incident Management in Complex Work Zones

Incidents in complex work zones can create challenges for incident management. This project aims to identify best practices for incident management in complex work zones. This would include items such as methods to handle towing, surveillance (portable cameras), detection, and warning (portable CMSs) of incidents. The research will review the literature and survey other states, review transportation management plans for select complex work zones, review incident management after action reports, then develop guidelines for best practices. The anticipated outcomes are some best practices that will aid in statewide consistency and planning level cost estimates of the potential benefits and costs of deploying IM strategies in complex work zones.
