Non-recurring congestion results from the occurrence of unexpected events(incidents) such as accidents, stalled vehicles, or material spills. The U. S. Federal Highway Administration estimates that approximately 60% of travel time lost to congestion is due to incidents... The early detection of incident events minimises the delay experienced by drivers, wasted fuel, emissions, and lost productivity, while also reducing the likelihood of secondary accidents. The goal of automatic incident detection(AID) is to minimise the human requirements in the efficient and effective detection of incident events. 4, record 1, English, - automatic%20incident%20detection

scoop : A specialized-shape skirt which, on American balloons, narrows to an inch or two on one side and widens to extend all the way from the top of the poles to the base of the envelope proper, forming a tilted mouth.
