• Abstract:
  Federal, state and local transportation agencies, law enforcement, the legislature, consulting firms, safety advocates and the ; public use crash data to quantify emerging traffic safety issues and problems, determine priorities, support decision-making, ; and target resources where they will be most effective. In most states, the primary source of crash data is a report completed ; by police officers. Oregon is different in that it relies heavily on citizens to report crash data via the Oregon Traffic ; Accident and Insurance (OTAI) paper-based report. Citizens are required to submit the OTAI report to the Driver and ; Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) within 72 hours after the accident occurs. ; The main objective of this project was to define the main features, functions, capabilities and system architectures that may ; be incorporated into an online citizen crash reporting system to complement (and eventually replace) the paper-based OTAI ; report. The implementation of an online citizen crash reporting system could translate into a number of potential benefits to ; DMV and the Crash Analysis and Reporting (CAR) Unit. These benefits may include the collection of more accurate, ; timely, uniform and complete traffic accident data. It is expected that the preliminary design work performed as part of this ; project will aid the DMV and the CAR Unit in the future development and implementation of an online citizen crash ; reporting system.
