Research and Background

One current area of research is around improving the quality of crash data so that it may be utilized to identify problem areas and evaluate programming. Several data quality projects have recently been implemented or are in progress, including a crash data audit and evaluation of crash report fields with insufficient data as well as a commercial motor vehicle data quality review and strategic plan for improvement. The findings of this research will be followed by the development of an E-Crash Manual for law enforcement and the provision of technical assistance to police departments identified as having particular data quality challenges.
