Operators secure operators in very busy quarter
Friday 17 August 2018
In the second quarter of 2018, IM recovery operators were deployed on 1,206 occasions as backup security for their own work. This was twice as often as in the previous quarter. This rise coincided with a quarter in which recovery companies achieved record-breaking workloads. The National Central Reporting Point of the Stichting IMN processed 29,106 incident reports on trunk roads, 23% more than in the same quarter in 2017. This growth was caused by a huge rise in the number of breakdown removals: from 12,947 last year to 16,645 this year (plus 30%). IM recovery operators dealt with 5,726 accidents, 2% more than in the spring of 2017.

The heavy workload had no noticeable consequences for the performance of the national IM network. IM recovery operators achieved an average arrival time of 13:27 minutes for the total of 22,873 recovery assignments. Following correction for delays due to traffic congestion, the timer recorded 11:43 minutes, just six seconds slower than in the first quarter of 2018.

The tables only show those districts for which a complete quarterly report was issued in the last quarter. These are districts in which ten or more recovery operations were carried out, and districts for which the last quarter was the most recent in a series of quarters in which the minimum of ten recovery operations required for drawing up a report was exceeded. Average arrival times are reported following correction for delays due to traffic congestion. In determining the kilometres of road in each district, the two carriageways on roads with divided carriageways are counted as separate roads.
