Book Accident Data Quality

Download or read book Accident Data Quality written by James O'Day and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1993 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway department administrators, accident records personnel, information systems and data processing management personnel, highway traffic and safety engineers, drivers' licensing officials, state and local police, as well as federal agencies, industries, traffic safety associations, and others responsible for the collection, analysis, and use of accident data. Information is provided on national accident data banks in addition to state and local practice associated with accident data collection, analysis, and evaluation. This synthesis describes current practice with respect to the characteristics and importance of accident data quality, including the reporting and data collection procedures, the analysis and quality control measures employed, and the communications systems used. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses accident records systems, including data sources and users, considers the effects of inadequate data on analyses, and reviews data acquisition and processing programs that have had good results in the states using them. Recommendations for improving operating systems and for additional research are included.

Book Safety Data

Download or read book Safety Data written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this project were to examine the costs and quality of safety data and to identify improvement strategies. The project's scope was narrowed to three key sources: the crash report, roadway inventories, and medical records. The primary focus was on crash reporting. Within the medical source, the focus was upon data regarding driver condition prior to crash, and injury severity, since these are of high interest to the highway community. Since the same piece of data will have a different quality for different users and uses, it was necessary to identify the variety of users and uses of highway safety data. This executive summary presents an overview of the research results. The complete results are available in the research report (FHWA-RD-96-191) and the final report (FHWA-RD-96-192).

Book Accident Analysis by Using Data Mining Techniques

Download or read book Accident Analysis by Using Data Mining Techniques written by Prayag Tiwari and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Sciences - Industry 4.0, grade: 5.0/5.0, , course: Computer Science and Engineering, language: English, abstract: Accident data analysis is one of the prime interests in the present era. Analysis of accident is very essential because it can expose the relationship between the different types of attributes that commit to an accident. Road, traffic and airplane accident data have different nature in comparison to other real world data as accidents are uncertain. Analyzing diverse accident dataset can provide the information about the contribution of these attributes which can be utilized to deteriorate the accident rate. Nowadays, Data mining is a popular technique for examining the accident dataset. In this study, Association rule mining, different classification, and clustering techniques have been implemented on the dataset of the road, traffic accidents, and an airplane crash. Achieved result illustrated accuracy at a better level and found many different hidden circumstances that would be helpful to deteriorate accident ratio in near future.

Book Improving Crash Data Quality in Massachusetts

Download or read book Improving Crash Data Quality in Massachusetts written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, a new crash data system, including a new crash data report form, was implemented in an effort to improve the quantity and quality of crash information collected. Several data quality issues emerged following the implementation of this system. This project was developed in order to quantify issues associated with the data collection/storage process, better understand why some of these issues exist, and identify opportunities for improvement. Specifically, five project tasks were undertaken to meet these goals: Task 1: Kick-off meeting with State stakeholders to describe the project and gather input from highway stakeholders from across the Commonwealth; Task 2: Quantitative review of a sample of 2005 police crash reports to identify and quantify problem areas and review systems used by police to submit crash report information; Task 3: Qualitative collection of information from police and crash data users to understand data collection process and problem areas; Task 4: Development of recommendations that might be implemented to improve crash data quality; and Task 5: Briefing for key players regarding findings and recommendations. Based on the information collected throughout this project, a Massachusetts Action Plan was developed to provide the Massachusetts State agencies with identified problem areas and recommendations for strategies to improve these problem areas. Recommendations provided in the action plan include details regarding the problem being addressed, the type of recommendation (systems, training, etc), which agencies should be involved in the implementation of the recommendations, and an estimated timeframe for implementation (short, medium, or long). Recommendations included improved information sharing, development and/or updating of standards for data collection and reporting, police training, and changes to agency operational practices.

Download or read book Reducing the Burden of Injury written by Committee on Injury Prevention and Control and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-01-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among people under age 35 in the United States. Despite great strides in injury prevention over the decades, injuries result in 150,000 deaths, 2.6 million hospitalizations, and 36 million visits to the emergency room each year. Reducing the Burden of Injury describes the cost and magnitude of the injury problem in America and looks critically at the current response by the public and private sectors, including: Data and surveillance needs. Research priorities. Trauma care systems development. Infrastructure support, including training for injury professionals. Firearm safety. Coordination among federal agencies. The authors define the field of injury and establish boundaries for the field regarding intentional injuries. This book highlights the crosscutting nature of the injury field, identifies opportunities to leverage resources and expertise of the numerous parties involved, and discusses issues regarding leadership at the federal level.

Book Closing the Data Quality Assurance Gap in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System

Download or read book Closing the Data Quality Assurance Gap in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System written by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's census of motor vehicle crash fatalities in the United States and its territories. This paper seeks to explain the implementation of the re-coding process, in which previously entered cases were sampled and re-coded by select, experienced FARS analysts to check the accuracy and performance of the original analysts. The goal of the re-coding process is to enhance the quality control process to maintain accurate, complete, and timely FARS data.
