The User’s Manual for the Traffic Incident Management Benefit-Cost (TIM-BC) Tool provides State and local engineers, decisionmakers, and other users with methods for evaluating and comparing the monetary value of TIM programs. In this version 1.0.0, TIM-BC features a subtool, Safety Service Patrol Benefit-Cost (SSP-BC), for evaluating State and local Safety Service Patrol Program.
A Safety Service Patrol Program is an important part of a transportation agency’s traffic incident management strategy, the primary focus of which is incident management and emergency response.
Through the use of text and screenshots of the tool, the user will become familiar with the SSP-BC subtool and will be able to enter information into the software to obtain benefit elements and the benefit-cost ratio of SSP projects.
