incident_start_time

This data flow is used within the Manage Traffic function and shows the time at which an incident will start. The time indicated may include the time an incident is verified, confirmed, or detected. The point at which it starts to have an effect on traffic conditions will be later than this time which is used as the trigger for any corrective or mitigating action, e.g. change in traffic control strategy. Thus in the case of incidents that are some form of special event, the start time may not be the actual event start time. An example would be a baseball game, which could create an incident as spectators arrive for the start of the game. The time at which this happens will be different (before) the actual start of the game but after the time at which the gates open. The data flow consists of the following data item which is defined in its own DDE:
