The Data Analysis and Reporting Techniques (DART) system, a computer software statistical system, was designed to assist in problem identification for the acquisition, selection, and analysis of state accident data. DART seeks to overcome the lack of integrated data that resulted from poor communication between state agencies. It allows for upgrading of the traffic records system as integration capability is achieved. The use of DART in the problem identification process will improve a state's analytical capability. The effectiveness of countermeasures can be evaluated by performing the same analysis after a period of time is passed. Analysis through use of the DART system must be performed on a static data file. At least one full year--ideally multiple years--of data is used to develop trends and to evaluate the impact of ongoing programs. The use of DART can also uncover areas of data collection that need improvement.
