User Service Requirements (fully or partially addressed):

1.0TRAVEL AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
1.7INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
1.7.0ITS shall include an Incident Management (IM) function. Incident Management will identify incidents, formulate response actions, and support initiation and ongoing coordination of those response actions. Six major functions are provided which are (1) Scheduled Planned Incidents, (2) Identify Incidents, (3) Formulate response Actions, (4) Support Coordinated Implementation of Response Actions, (5) Support Initialization of Response to Actions, and (6) Predict Hazardous Conditions.
1.7.1Incident Management shall provide an incident identification function to identify incidents.
1.7.1.1The incident identification function shall include the capability to identify predicted incidents.
1.7.1.1.1The incident identification function shall use information from the following types of sources, where available, to identify predicted incidents:
1.7.1.1.1(a)Traffic flow sensors.
1.7.1.1.1(b)Environmental sensors.
1.7.1.1.1(c)Public safety sources.
1.7.1.1.1(d)Media sources.
1.7.1.1.1(e)Weather information sources.
1.7.1.1.1(f)Transportation providers.
1.7.1.1.1(g)Sponsors of special events.
1.7.1.1.1(h)Hazardous condition prediction algorithms.
1.7.1.1.2The incident identification function shall determine at least the following characteristics of each predicted incident:
1.7.1.1.2(a)Type.
1.7.1.1.2(b)Extent.
1.7.1.1.2(c)Severity.
1.7.1.1.2(d)Location.
1.7.1.1.2(e)Expected duration.
1.7.1.1.3The incident identification function shall determine the expected traffic flow impact of each predicted incident.
1.7.1.2The incident identification function shall include the capability to identify existing (both planned and unplanned) incidents.
1.7.1.2.1The incident identification function shall use information from the following types of sources, where available, to identify existing incidents:
1.7.1.2.1(a)Traffic flow sensors.
1.7.1.2.1(b)Environmental sensors.
1.7.1.2.1(c)Public safety sources.
1.7.1.2.1(d)Media sources.
1.7.1.2.1(e)Weather information sources.
1.7.1.2.1(f)Transportation providers.
1.7.1.2.1(g)Travelers.
1.7.1.2.2The incident identification function shall determine and continuously monitor at least the following characteristics of each existing incident:
1.7.1.2.2(a)Type.
1.7.1.2.2(b)Extent.
1.7.1.2.2(c)Severity.
1.7.1.2.3The incident identification function shall determine and continuously monitor the current and expected traffic flow impact of each existing incident.
1.7.2Incident Management shall provide a response formulation function to formulate appropriate response actions to each identified incident and revise those actions when necessary.
1.7.2.1The response formulation function shall propose and facilitate the appropriate scheduling of those predicted incidents that can be scheduled to minimize incident potential, incident impacts, and/or the resources required for incident management.
1.7.4Incident Management shall provide the capability to predict the time and location of hazardous conditions that may cause an incident.
