The Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) Specification aims to make harmonized work zone data provided by infrastructure owners and operators (IOOs) available for third party use, making travel on public roads safer and more efficient through ubiquitous access to data on work zone activity.
The Crashes, Incidents, and Spills enumeration will fill the type_of_incident property to let drives know why a road has been detoured, restricted, or closed.
Motivation
Adding the type_of_incident property to the IncidentRoadEvent object lets data publishers tell drivers why road access has been detoured, restricted, or closed. Further, implementing this property adds value to road event feeds by reducing driver uncertainty.
