Congestion Relief: Exception Handling

Transportation systems are designed for ideal conditions. The Real World introduces non-ideal cases. Operational failures of the transportation system, from breakdowns and accidents, interrupt normal traffic flow. Relief efforts must move through the impasse created by the blockage. This handicap is especially severe for restricted direction or single lane roadways, like freeways, highways, and bridges. Examine and make recommendations on land, water, and air alternatives that can arrive on the scene faster with service capabilities. Displacing the obstructions temporarily will free the bottleneck and allow traditional relief efforts to arrive through less impeded traffic.
