Title:	Accident Data Availability
Principal Investigators:	Peter Martin
University:	University of Utah
Status:	Completed
Year:	1999
Project #:	MPC-184

Abstract

Accident information is valuable for identifying problem areas or locations of interest. This is true not only to the Traffic and Safety section. UDOT is comprised of many departments that would benefit from access to accident information. Not only is the data not readily available, its current format is one summary spreadsheet format utilizing codes and mileposts to denote location, type and severity of accidents. With little graphical interface, the usefulness of the accident information by most not familiar with the codes is questionable. This proposal promotes the integration of the accident database with a GIS format to allow a graphical and spatial interface. The issues being addressed by this research focus on information circulation.
