• Abstract:
  This case study outlines a centralized, State-led data collection effort for safety data and analysis. The Tennessee Roadway Information Management System (TRIMS) is a single integrated system that includes State and local roadways, structures, pavement, traffic, photo logs, and crash data. Roadway inventory and crash data for all public roads are included. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) implemented TRIMS as a mainframe database in 1972 and moved to a client server Oracle database in 1996. TDOT has had a great track record of success with TRIMS achieved by developing a tool that the State DOT and local agencies (as well as contractors) could all use. The local roadway data collection effort (conducted as a 5-year project that began in 2007) resulted in a product that includes the same information on local roads as is collected for State roads.
