	Automated incident detection, assessment, forecasting, traveler information and audits. This capability would be used to influence service patrol operations, the installation of automated surveillance equipment and traffic control strategies.
	Decision support tools that can provide the capability of rapidly evaluating the impact of alternative incident response measures including diversion routes. This tool is likely to include a suite of faster-than-real-time simulation techniques that will permit the modeling of the impact of the impact of the incident response alternatives.
	Provide data needed to automatically modify ramp metering rates and traffic signal timing in the presence of an incident.
	Software that records Transportation Operations Center (TOC) operator’s actions during incidents for subsequent evaluation and use in response to similar incidents.
	The audit reference in this context refers to performance measures
