Secondary Crashes
Vigo County—At 8:03 this evening, Indiana State Police troopers and Vigo County emergency agencies responded to a two-vehicle crash in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 near the 10 mile marker. Preliminary investigation revealed eastbound I-70 traffic was slowing for a prior crash
FHWA & IN-TIME Goals
• Reduced or eliminated injuries and fatalities among both responders and motorists
• Rapid clearance of incidents, greatly reducing traffic congestion and risk of secondary crashes
• Formal TIM programs that benefit corridors, regions, and States
• Adoption of TIM as a core mission for all State and local responders and DOTs
Training Objectives:
• Improved responder safety
• Improved reliability (reduced incident duration)
• Improved motorist safety (reduced secondary crashes)

TIM Responder Training Evaluations
• I would recommend this to others: 95 % positive response
• I gained an understanding of the need for coordinated
incident management – 95 % positive response

•Traffic congestion costs American motorists $87.2 billion per year in wasted time and fuel costs—more than $757 for every U.S. traveler.
•The total amount of wasted fuel topped 2.8 billion gallons 24 gallons of gas for every traveler.
•Americans spend 4.2 billion hours a year stuck in traffic.
•Nationally, in 2007, the average driver languished in rush-hour traffic for 36 hours— nearly one full work week for every traveler.
Important TIM Concepts
Important TIM Concepts & Travel Reliability
•Crashes, disabled vehicles, and debris on the road
cause roughly half of non-recurring congestion and are the most important factors affecting travel time reliability.
•Incidents negatively impact businesses that
depend on on-time deliveries.
Important TIM Concepts o& Travel Reliability
• Unplanned incidents pose two major challenges that need to be addressed without sacrificing one or the other:
1) Protecting the safety of incident responders plus the safety of the motoring public
2) Minimizing the impact on traffic flow.
• A significant number of responders are killed or seriously injured every year while dealing with unplanned incidents.
• Secondary collisions occur due to motorists coming upon an incident that is already affecting traffic.
Defining TIM
• TIM consists of a planned and coordinated multi-disciplinary process to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible
• Effective TIM reduces the duration and impacts of traffic incidents and improves the safety of motorists, crash victims, and emergency responders

Injury Crash
That’s potentially 27 responders “working in or near moving traffic” every minute of every hour, 24/7/365!

IN-TIME Review
• Indiana’s quick clearance program is designed to get first responders to work together to quickly and safely open lanes blocked by an incident
• Why? – Twenty (20) percent of all crashes are secondary crashes – Eighteen (18) of those secondary crashes involve a fatality – For every one (1) minute a traffic lane is closed it takes
four (4) minutes to get that traffic flow back to normal • When one lane of a three lane road is blocked, what
is the percentage reduction of traffic flow capability on that segment of roadway?
The Importance of Good Communication
Responder Struck-By Fatalities
In a typical year, the following number of responders are struck and killed: • 12 Law Enforcement Officers • 5 Fire and Rescue Personnel • 60 Towing and Recovery Professionals • Several transportation professionals from DOTs,
Public Works, and Safety Service Patrol Programs
