Abstract:

In Puerto Rico, crashes involving a vehicle are to be reported by local or state police officers with the use of a Police Traffic Accident Report (PTAR). The PTARs can be filled in paper form or by using an electronic version of it embedded on the police vehicle unit and they are considered the official document that describes every possible detail of the crash. The PTARs are also the main source of information for crash databases to be shared with federal and local agencies that require such information. However, Puerto Rico’s crash database has encountered many difficulties including missing and incorrect data. As such, the team developed a mobile application that could substitute the PTAR and provide the agencies with accurate information in a timely manner. A responsive web application was also developed in order to simulate the procedure done by a supervisor for each crash report. As a side project, the Electronic Tickets (E-TICS) mobile application was also developed to substitute the traffic violation document (paper form) used by police officers.
