Traffic Incident Management (TIM)

Traffic incident management (TIM) is one of several successful proactive programs designed to assist our regional TMCs with incident management and surface transportation–related activities throughout South Florida.

Mission: Develop recommendations that will provide a safe, efficient, and appropriate multiagency RESPONSE to traffic incidents through timely and accurate DETECTION AND VERIFICATION.

The TIM team in action.

According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), traffic incident management is the planned and coordinated program process to detect, respond to, and remove traffic incidents, restoring traffic capacity as safely and quickly as possible. This coordinated process involves a number of public and private sector partners, including the following agencies and services:

• Law enforcement

• Emergency management

• Fire and rescue

• Towing and recovery

• Emergency medical services

• Hazardous materials contractors

• Transportation

• Traffic information media

• Public safety communications

 

The TIM protocol brings together various agencies responsible for responding to incidents. They address issues that arise as a result of the diverse institutional functions and individual agency goals. The multi-agency TIM partners meet bimonthly in Broward County to provide, discuss, and improve operational services related to incident management.
