Simulation of the impact of dangerous road incidents on driver’s loss of time on express roads

Incidents on roads are an important factor in traffic flow disruption and a consequent loss of time for drivers. Disruptions can be the result of unexpected road incidents or planned repair works after an incident. These situations differ in the availability of information about the incidents and th...
