1.7.1.2.3 - The Incident Identification function shall determine and continuously monitor the current and expected traffic flow impact of each existing incident.
1.7.2 - IM shall provide a Response Formulation function to formulate appropriate response actions to each identified incident and revise those actions when necessary.
1.7.2.1 - The Response Formulation function shall propose and facilitate the appropriate scheduling of those predicted incidents that can be scheduled to minimize incident potential, incident impacts, and/or the resources required for incident management.
1.7.4 - IM shall provide the capability to Predict Hazardous Conditions, including the time and location of hazardous conditions that may cause an incident.
5.0 - EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
