	abstract = {We have developed a simulation-based learning environment to provide systemdesigners and operators with an appreciation of the impact of incidents on 
traffic delay.  We used an application framework developed at the University 
of Maryland for constructing simulation-based learning environments called 
SimPLE (Simulated Processes in a Learning Environment).  Environments 
developed with SimPLE use dynamic simulations and visualizations to represent 
realistic time-dependent behavior and are coupled with guidance material and 
other software aids that facilitate learning.  The simulation allows learners 
to close freeway lanes and divert traffic to an arterial road.  Users can see 
the effect of the detour on freeway and arterial delay.  Users can then
adjust signal timing interactively on a time space diagram and watch the 
effect of their adjustment on green band changes and on arterial delays and 
total delays.
