Incident detection systems have the potential of reducing the time between the occurrence of accidents and the notification of emergency medical services, called the accident notification time. Reductions in this time, in turn, may affect the numbers of fatalities. A statistical analysis is conducted to determine the quantitative relationship between fatalities and the accident notification time on urban freeways. Using this relationship, the impact of freeway incident detection systems on fatalities is estimated. are also derived. The economic benefits of fatality reduction are also derived.
