Abstract

The 2010 version of the TIM Handbook includes the latest advances in TIM programs and practices across the country and offers insights into the latest innovations in TIM tools and technologies. The 2010 TIM Handbook also features a parallel, web-based version that may be conveniently bookmarked, browsed, or keyword-searched for quick reference. This version supersedes the Freeway Incident Management Handbook (published by FHWA in 1991) and the TIM Handbook (published by FHWA in 2000). Readers will find the following topic areas in this Handbook: • Introduction: This chapter provides an overview of Traffic Incident Management and sets the context for the 2010 TIM Handbook update. • TIM Strategic Program Elements: This chapter details the programmatic structure and institutional coordination necessary for a successful TIM program. • TIM Tactical Program Elements: This chapter describes the full range of on-scene operations. • TIM Support Program Elements: This chapter describes the communications and technical aspects of successful TIM programs. A quick resource guide titled, “Want to Know More,” follows each chapter and direct readers to supplemental information associated with the specific chapter content.
