| Abstract | The research team at Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) developed a Web-based Traffic Incident Management Benefit-Cost (TIM-BC) tool with standardized methodology that can be universally employed in benefit-cost ratio estimation for different TIM programs. The TIM-BC tool can estimate travel delay, fuel consumption, emissions, and secondary incidents. The data and equations encompassed in the database are derived directly from well-designed simulation experiments, which consider various incident information (i.e., number of lanes, lane blockage, duration, and location) under different traffic conditions. |
