Dangerous Environment Since 2003, 59 law enforcement,
12 fire/rescue, and 54 maintenance personnel have died after being struck by vehicles along
the highway. (As of 8 Dec 2008, USDOT/FHWA TIM Quick Clearance review)
INDOT had a worker killed on I-64 in 2009

Congestion Impact
For every minute that a freeway travel lane is blocked during a peak travel period, four minutes of travel delay results after the incident is cleared.

![Page 6: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Secondary Incident is: an incident that occurs as a direct or
indirect result of a previous incident. An incident occurring in the queue expanding from an initial incident, of any kind. These sometimes lead to additional incidents, but all are referred to as “secondary.”

Safety Impact Crashes that result from other incidents
(secondary) are estimated to be 20% of all crashes.
Chances of a Secondary Crash increase by 2.8% for each minute the primary incident is not cleared.
These Secondary Crashes are estimated to cause 18% of deaths on freeways.
In 2008 21% of Indiana’s crashes showed vehicles “Slowed or stopped in traffic”, secondary crashes!

Purpose for IN-TIME
To have traffic incident responders, from all disciplines, follow agreed-upon multi-lateral policies and procedures while being focused on the “Open Roads Philosophy”!
12
![Page 12: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is the “Open Roads Philosophy?
is having all First Responders, after ensuring their own personal safety and the safety and security of any incident victims, will have as their top priority reducing congestion and the higher risks of secondary incidents for public/motorist safety.

What can WE do? Establish Unified Incident Command Don’t remove vehicles or debris that is off the travel
portion of the roadway until after peak traffic times and/or after inclement weather has subsided
Only call for a Crash Reconstructionist when needed
Speed up crash investigations with technologyPhotogrammetry

Photogrammetry Statistics 43 uses of IN-TIME Crash Photogrammetry
6 Crime Scenes were measured using Photogrammetry (2 Police Action Shootings on roadways, 1 Homicide, 1 House Fire, 1 Hit and Run, 1 pursuit)
44 Minutes - average time to measure using Photogrammetry for roadway scenes only (ROAD CLOSED SCENES)
42
![Page 42: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2 Hours 24 Minutes : Average Estimated Measurement Time NOT using Photogrammetry (ROAD CLOSED SCENES) Total Station
1 Hour 39 Minutes: Time SAVED PER ROAD CLOSING SCENE using Photogrammetry.
99 minutes times 43= 4059 minutes
4059 minutes = (67.6 hours) saved from these 43 crashes
43
![Page 43: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
4059 minutes times 4 (time needed to get traffic back to normal flow) = 16236 minutes
(270.6 hours) time saved that the general public would have been sitting in our working their way through traffic before the traffic lanes were back to normal traffic flow

![Page 44: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What can WE do?
45
Responders arriving at a traffic incident should, within minutes of arrival on-scene, estimate the magnitude of the traffic incident, the expected time duration of the traffic incident, and the expected queue length, and then set up the appropriate temporary traffic controls for these estimates.
![Page 45: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What can WE do? consider the potential of secondary impacts away
from the incident scene

![Page 46: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
ISP Secondary Crash Reduction Policy
As soon as practical following assignment of a crash investigation by Indiana State Police personnel, on scene unit(s) will make an assessment of the potential for a significant traffic back-up and the projected duration of the back-up.
A patrol unit (preferably marked) will be assigned to maintain a position (out of the traveled portion of the roadway, if possible) near the rearmost portion of the back-up.
47
![Page 47: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
ISP Secondary Crash Reduction Policy
This unit shall activate all emergency lighting to serve as a warning to approaching motorists of stopped traffic on the roadway ahead.
This unit will move forwards and backwards, as the back-up dictates, to maintain approximately a 200 to 300 yard distance behind the rearmost vehicle.
48
![Page 48: I N -TIME INdiana’s – Traffic Incident Management Effort](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568164cb550346895dd6e9db/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
ISP Secondary Crash Reduction Policy
The overall objective of this policy is to provide a rolling warning to motorists approaching a traffic back-up that less than normal driving conditions lay just ahead.
Nothing we do as Law Enforcement Officers is more important than the preservation of life for those living in and/or traveling through our state..

What can WE do? Respect and understand the mission of other
responder agenciesEach agency has a specific role and responsibility
at an incident and policies that guide them. All agencies should understand the importance of cooperation and coordination with all agencies involved in the incident resolution.

Rush Hour/Inclement Weather If a vehicle or debris is off the roadway and
shoulder it is essential that Incident Command take all reasonable countermeasures to eliminate or reduce further traffic delays and determine an appropriate and safe time for removal at a later time.

First Responder Lighting
The use of First Responder vehicle lighting is essential especially in the initial stages of an incident. However, drivers may become confused or distracted by excessive amounts of flashing lights.

First Responder Lighting
Law enforcement vehicles should be first in sight to drivers in order to provide red/blue lights at eye-level.
