Piloting an AI-Enabled Immersive Multi-Agency Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Training Platform

This pilot project will develop and evaluate an immersive AI-enabled virtual reality (VR) training platform for multi-agency traffic incident management (TIM) operations. Specific objectives include: 1) Enhance interagency coordination and communication among responder agencies; 2) Improve responder safety and reduce the risk of secondary crashes through realistic scenario training; 3) Decrease incident clearance times using pre-planned, role-specific response strategies; and 4) Provide a scalable VR training platform aligned with National TIM Responder Training content.
