• Abstract:
  The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is responsible for ensuring the safety and operational ; efficiency of Arizona’s state highways. Fulfilling that responsibility requires extensive data collection and ; analysis, which are very labor-intensive resource-intensive. Seeking to identify how the agency could accomplish ; the greatest service improvements with the most efficient use of funds, ADOT engaged ARCADIS to perform a ; Crash Data Collection and Analysis study and examine the possibilities offered by technological innovations ; such as Electronic Data Entry (EDE), Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS), and Geographic ; Information Systems (GIS). The study resulted in a comprehensive report with three components: an ; examination of best practices in use in the United States today, a use case and gap analysis examining ADOT’s ; current data work, and a technical memorandum outlining how changes could be implemented. Together, the ; three parts point to a path to introduce best practices in ADOT’s crash-analysis systems. Adopting the best ; practices outlined can reduce the resources required to maintain these systems, freeing those resources to other ; safety-related concerns.
