Abstract:

The goal of this project was to analyze the collection and management of highway safety data by identifying issues and costs, and proposing means of resolving those issues and reducing the costs. Initial emphasis addressed known elements of the highway safety system, with an emphasis on collecting and storing relevant data. Sources included the literature and what the states, local agencies, and researchers throughout the nation were doing to improve data handling for the three largest sources--traffic crash, roadway inventory, and crash injury (emergency medical services and trauma). Visits to various providers of data throughout the United States helped identify and classify issues, along with exemplary practices. A total of 41 issues were listed that affected collecting, storing, and managing traffic crash, roadway inventory, and medical data. The most important issue is that of quality, with data accuracy being the most critical. Lack of coverage is becoming an increasing problem that affects information used to recommend countermeasures.
