Incident characteristics, frequency, and duration on a high volume urban freeway
Abstract Rapidly deteriorating travel conditions in U.S. metropolitan areas have led to renewed interest in more effectively managing nonrecurrent congestion. Effective incident management requires an understanding of incident patterns, frequency, and duration. However, such information is limited. This paper presents an analysis of incidents using data from a major Los Angeles, California freeway. Incident patterns are described, and duration is analyzed as a function of incident characteristics. Results indicate that accidents make up a very small proportion of all incidents, but account for a relatively greater share of all incident duration. Major explanatory factors of incident duration include incident type, time of day, truck involvement, and lane closures. The paper concludes with a discussion of alternative approaches to reducing the congestion impacts of incidents.
