Abstract

This research examines a range of incident detection technologies to determine a recommended combination of approaches for use in the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). The technologies that were examined are computer-based Automatic Incident Detection (AID), Video Image Processing (VIP), and detection by cellular telephone call-ins.
