Abstract
Traffic Safety Analysis: A Spatially-Enabled Technology
Track: Transportation and Logistics
Author(s): Roman Arellano, Sheila Sarkar, Michael Long
A spatially enabled system for the management of traffic information with an objective to mitigate traffic hazards within a local government jurisdiction is described. The system involves coordinated activity between police and traffic engineering departments with reporting to the state Department of Transportation. The main components are Collision Reporting & Mapping, Archival, Analysis, and Corrective Action to mitigate high-risk intersections and street segments identified by the system. Typical report formats are illustrated. The application combines data entry and report generation in Microsoft Access and spatial analysis in ArcGIS for improved traffic safety engineering and law enforcement.
