战略公路研究计划2(SHRP 2)可靠性研究的主要目标是通过减少导致行驶时间不可预测波动的事件的频率和影响来提高公路行驶时间的可靠性。已经确定了七个不可靠旅行时间的潜在来源--即导致旅行时间可变的事件：交通事故、工作区、需求波动、特殊事件、交通控制设备、天气和基本容量不足。交通事故本身就是造成延误的主要原因。这份报告介绍了一个项目的结果，该项目为交通事件反应人员和管理人员制定了培训计划。本报告中描述的培训计划包含两个组成部分：培训员培训和事件响应人员培训。课程材料提供了关于跨学科交通事件应对的核心能力的广泛培训。它旨在帮助响应者理解和执行国家交通事件管理的统一目标：响应者安全；安全、快速清除；以及及时、可靠和可互操作的通信。培训方法包括各种成人学习技术，包括互动研讨会、案例研究分析、桌面角色扮演和情景以及实地实践。培训是为通过两天的强化形式或模块(每节课一节课)形式进行的。培训员培训课程旨在促进在全国范围内以符合成本效益的方式培养合格的培训员。根据一组交通事件管理专家的意见，确定了核心的多学科能力。这些能力提供了构建课程和创建设计文档的框架。在编写课程材料后，通过举办两次试点培训课程进行形成性评估，并将参与者的意见纳入最终材料。这份报告旨在帮助交通机构在解决非经常性交通拥堵和在其高速公路网上提供更可靠的旅行时间方面取得进展。
The primary goal of Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) reliability research is to improve the reliability of highway travel times by reducing the frequency and effects of events that cause travel times to fluctuate unpredictably. Seven potential sources of unreliable travel times—that is, events that cause variable travel times—have been identified: traffic incidents, work zones, demand fluctuations, special events, traffic control devices, weather, and inadequate base capacity. Traffic incidents alone are a major cause of delay. This report presents the results of a project that developed a training program for traffic incident responders and managers. The training program described in this report contains two components: training of trainers and incident responder training. The course material provides extensive training on the core competencies for interdisciplinary traffic incident response. It is designed to help responders understand and implement the national unified goal for traffic incident management: responder safety; safe, quick clearance; and prompt, reliable, and interoperable communications. The training methods include a variety of adult-learning techniques, including interactive seminar, case study analysis, tabletop role-play and scenario, and field practicum. The training was developed for delivery through a 2-day intensive format or a modular (single lesson per session) format. The train-the-trainer curriculum is designed to facilitate cost-effective cultivation of qualified trainers across the country. Core multidisciplinary competencies were identified with input from a group of experts in traffic incident management. These competencies provided a framework from which the curriculum was built and design documents created. After development of the course materials, formative evaluation was conducted by holding two pilot training sessions, and the input from participants was incorporated into the final materials. This report is intended to help transportation agencies move forward in addressing nonrecurring traffic congestion and delivering more reliable travel times on their highway networks.
