The three-dimensional software program will enable practical, scenario-based, interactive, real-time incident management training for up to 500 responders, trainers and “victims” simultaneously at a variety of locations. Participants will include state, county, and local transportation departments, toll road authorities, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency service providers, medical examiners, hazardous materials handlers, towing companies, the media, and other operating agencies and entities across the Corridor. The training program can be accessed from any location with an Internet connection thereby reducing training and travel costs and enabling increased participation. The program is designed to educate and validate quick clearance practices and related incident management techniques, but it is also designed to promote communication, coordination and cooperation among organizations involved in incident management. By involving responders from many different agencies, exposing them to best practices, establishing expectations that they will meet or exceed standards for good practice, and allowing them to discuss methods and issues with their peers, we believe that they will achieve more consistent performance, more innovation, and better and safer delivery of incident management services.

*These videos were made with student actors at the CATT Lab (University of Maryland). As such, the videos do not accurately represent the actual response to a similar incident by trained first responders. Training videos using real first responders will be available at a later date.
ALL videos require the H.264 High Definition (HD) Playback
(MPEG-4). To play high definition video, a large amount of data must be processed by your computer. A powerful system will deliver the best playback experience.
