The Pennsylvania Accident Record System (ARS) compiles information on 150,000 reportable motor vehicle accidents each year. Up to 657 data elements that relate to the driver, vehicle, roadway conditions, and circumstances of the crash are recorded on each accident record. Information is maintained in a "live", year-to-date file accessible for analysis; a 3-year fixed accident record file provides the basis for highway safety problem identification and program management. The ARS provides a 2-way exchange of information with the operator license (OL), vehicle registration (VR) and Pennsylvania roadway information system (PARIS) files. MARK IV and DART/OMNITAB are used to run several year-end programs against the accident data base. These programs provide a number of outputs.
