Abstract
Clearing Roads/Helping Drivers: GIS and WSDOT Incident Response Track: Transportation Author(s): Diane McGuerty In an increased effort to help curb congestion WSDOT began the Incident Response program. IR (Incident Response) trucks and the program itself have grown into a semi-mature statewide effort. Currently a report for each IR response is collected and are then input into GIS and used for congestion analysis, IR deployment and as a Performance Measure reporting tool. IR is currently in the process of upgrading its data collection system to include real-time GPS location and push-button mobile data input. This real-time data feed will then be used as a new reporting tool for WSDOT's online traffic flow website map and as a resource deployment tool for each regional traffic management center in order to provide an even faster response and better communication for multi-agency response to incidents.
