Abstract:Florida’s highways are traveled annually by millions of residents and visitors, making
safety and crash prevention top goals of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
Understanding why crashes happen fuels prevention efforts. In addition to driver-related
issues, unanticipated issues in road design, lighting, signage, etc. can be revealed by crash
investigations and then addressed to reduce the potential for collisions. To that end, FDOT’s
safety specialists are constantly reviewing crash summary reports; however, these reports
rarely contain sufficient detail for safety
specialists to fully analyze collisions. For
site-specific analysis of crashes, specialists
must examine police crash reports.
Accessing these files can be complicated
by mislabeling or misidentified crashes
or incorrectly transcribed dates. Then,
comparing and reconciling what may be
multiple reports and preparing reviews
presents its own challenges.
