Program Planning, Development & Evaluation Award: To Florida Department of Transportation for Crash Data Management System
The Florida Department of Transportation’s District 7 Crash Data Management System (CDMS) represents a collaboration of agencies with the shared goal to provide innovative and timely solutions to address engineering and safety issues through the analysis of crash data.
This Geographic Information System (GIS)-based CDMS is equipped with tools that specifically target engineering and safety concerns, such as query-based thematic mapping, GIS-based collision diagramming, GIS-based collision comparison and Structured Query Language (SQL) query building tools along with data sharing functionality.
This CDMS is able to cross reference county and state data sources to assess regional and local crash related issues. Furthermore, it has the capability to correlate safety studies, projects, work program data, roadway characteristics, Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP) and crash data, together providing a better defined picture of crash-related problems and safety concerns.
Adding to its host of benefits, the CDMS allows District 7 staff to assist other engineering and law enforcement agencies since it is entirely portable.
