Analysis, Modeling and Design for TrafficIncident Management Systems

The aim of incident management systems is to minimize the total delay experienced by travelers and also to keep the whole operation safe. In order to achieve these two goals, the system should make optimal choices and use optimal designs. For the design of optimal solutions, appropriate mathematical models are needed for various tasks, and then mathematical techniques need to be developed. The mathematical models, their analyses and the creation of optimal solutions can help to create a framework for a decision support system for overall incident management. The major aim of this project is to develop mathematical models, perform analyses, develop simulations, and then apply those to assist a decision support system for incident management in the Las Vegas area. In order to implement the system, this project helps gain an understanding on current local practices in incident management; evaluates alternate designs for incident management; and designs a system that focuses on the details of field implementations and operations locally.
