Abstract:Safety data are the key to making sound decisions on the design and operation of roadways. Integrating quality roadway and traffic data with crash data helps agencies make better decisions and more effective use of limited funds to improve safety. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed the Model Inventory of Roadway Elements (MIRE) as a listing and data dictionary of the roadway and traffic data elements critical to safety management. A critical step toward acceptance and implementation of MIRE is the conversion of MIRE, which is now a listing of variables, into a management information system (MIS). FHWA has undertaken the MIRE MIS project to assist States in developing and integrating the MIRE into an MIS structure that will provide greater utility in the management and use of MIRE data. This report provides an overview of the MIRE MIS effort which involved developing a conceptual structure of a MIRE MIS, developing a prototype based on the conceptual structure, testing the prototype using data from one Lead Agency Program State, and identifying the lessons learned and implications for further development and implementation.
