Highway accidents, disabled vehicles and other incidents are a prime cause of congestion in Massachusetts. Highway capacities are reduced, backups form, and about $1 billion per year is lost in terms of lost time and wasted fuel. An incident management system to deal with congestion caused by highway incidents needs to pull together resources and talents from several public agencies and private organizations, each of which can effectively solve part of the problem.
