Abstract:In 1998, the Center for Transportation Research and Education (CTRE) began development of an automated system designed for both in-house and in-field collection of crash location information. Central to this system was a software application employing a map-based graphical user interface (GUI) designed around geographic information system (GIS) technology. The Incident Location Tool was designed to be a stand-alone component used to process paper crash reports, and to be a component capable of integration with other software packages. The modular nature of the Incident Location Tool allowed for the integration with the Iowa DOT?s electronic data collection software Advantage Safety. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored the exploration of other potential uses of the Incident Location Tool, specifically the collection of asset locations for inventory management purposes. The remainder of this document focuses on the following two potential Incident Location Tool adaptations: Sign Location Collection Tool and Pavement Management Section Location Tool. 4p.
