• Abstract:
  Police crash reports include useful additional information that is not available in crash summary records. ; This information may include police sketches and narratives and is often needed for detailed site-specific ; safety analysis. In addition, some agencies also routinely review police crash reports to correct miscoded ; and missing crash types. As a result, safety analysts often spend much of their time reviewing police crash ; reports on a regular basis. However, reviewing police crash reports and recording review information in ; Florida has not been an easy process. This project developed a Web-based system to facilitate the process ; of reviewing police crash reports and recording review results. The system allows projects to be set up for ; specific study locations and specific review questions. The review questions can be set up for different data ; entry formats, including dropdown list, checkbox, radio button, and text box. A user-friendly interface is ; provided to allow the users to review the police crash reports specified in a project, and the review results ; are saved to their respective crash records in the database, which can then be downloaded to a local drive ; for further analysis. The system could significantly reduce the current police crash report review processing ; time.
