This article describes analytical procedures to estimate delay, TNF, and the Q/sub max/ caused by freeway incidents and discusses the availability of an interactive Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet for fast computations. This microcomputer tool easily can be used to estimate the impact of planned incidents (that is, lane closures during construction or maintenance operations) and the consequences of freeway incidents for immediately determining the optimum traffic control strategy.
