Abstract:Quality data are the foundation for making important decisions regarding the design, operation, and safety of
roadways. Using roadway and traffic data together with crash data can help agencies to make decisions that are
fiscally responsible and to improve the safety of the roadways for all users. The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Office of Safety has established a fundamental set of roadway and traffic data elements that States should be
collecting to support the activities conducted under their Highway Safety Improvement Programs (FDE/HSIP). The
objective of this effort was to conduct a market analysis of the potential cost to States in developing a statewide
location referencing system and collecting the FDE/HSIP in all public roadways. This effort also investigated
potential methodologies that could be applied to estimate the benefits in terms of safety of collecting this additional
roadway information. This report provides the results of this effort and provides suggestions for future research.
