Analysis of Accident Data Reporting and Use of Accident Records

The study analyzes the California accident data report and the use of accident information records to utilize the full potential for administrative or engineering decision making processes. Identification of the most researchable problem areas was accomplished during the one year study of the accident information systems presently in use. The accident information systems are comprised of integrated sets of components, including on the scene investigation, preparation of reports, encoding storage retrieval of reported information, statistical analysis, and the complete system of records. It is felt that the improvement of accident information systems would produce immediate and substantial benefits to the safety of the general public, and to all levels of the governmental sector in highway design, traffic operations, driver licensing, enforcement, and operations of the courts.
