Traffic Incident Management System (TIMS)

Traffic Incident Management System (TIMS) is a coordinated approach used by transportation agencies to efficiently detect, respond to, and clear road incidents like accidents or breakdowns. Its goal is to minimize traffic congestion, improve safety, and reduce delays. TIMS involves real-time data collection, rapid communication among responders, and strategic deployment of resources such as tow trucks and emergency services. By managing incidents effectively, TIMS helps keep traffic flowing smoothly, ensures safety for all road users, and reduces secondary accidents caused by congestion or confusion.
