Non-recurrent congestion is frequently caused by accidents and other incidents. We estimate the causal effect of … incident duration on drivers’ time losses through changes in non-recurrent road congestion on Dutch highways. We demonstrate … that incident duration has a strong positive, but concave, effect on non-recurrent congestion. The duration elasticity of …
