Résumé / Abstract
The knowledge of incident characteristics occuring on motorways represents a key element in traffic management. Precise and reliable statistics concerning the location, the duration and the nature of the incidents allow the operators to set up efficient incident management policies. Adequate incident detection systems and appropriate management measures can be selected, calibrated and implemented according to these characteristics. Assessment of incident management practices is also based on these elements.
