Resumen
Descripción
Considering an incident management system (IMS), this paper focuses on how
to use existed resources efficiently to reduce the average incident duration. Traffic
Management Centers (TMC) have two ways to manage incidents, namely, waiting until
an incident is detected and then dispatching a traffic flow restoration unit (TFRU) from
the depot to clear them, or having TFRUs out running along specific routes and clear the
incidents they run into. We examine the effects of these two options using computer
simulation technology. Based on simulation results, response surfaces are constructed
demonstrate the impacts of these two alternatives on the incident duration, and an
equilibrium point between them is determined.
