• Abstract:
  The Model Inventory of Roadway Elements (MIRE) Fundamental Data Elements (FDEs) are a subset of roadway, intersection, and interchange data elements that support robust safety management. Federal statute requires State DOTs to collect the MIRE FDEs by September 2026. This case study presents the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s (VTrans’) approach to develop a statewide intersection inventory representing the State’s entire public road network. This involved a combination of automated and manual collection that helped VTrans represent these complex operational features, as well as partnerships between the State and its regional planning commissions. Linear referencing serves as the foundation for the intersection inventory, and Vermont’s data collection framework will allow VTrans to maintain quality data over time. In addition to meeting federal data requirements, Vermont’s intersection data initiative will support safety performance function development and systemic safety analysis.
