Title: GIS-ALAS: THE INTEGRATION AND ANALYSIS OF HIGHWAY CRASH DATA IN A GIS ENVIRONMENT
Accession Number: 00760763
Record Type: Component
Availability: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 444 North Capitol Street, NW Abstract: The Center for Transportation Research and Education and the Iowa Department of Transportation are developing a GIS-based Accident Location and Analysis system (GIS-ALAS). This system, an extension of Iowa's DOS-based PC-ALAS, includes the location of all crashes on all roads in the state for the last ten years, about 700,000 records. It provides spatial display, query, and analysis capabilities for users in highway safety, law enforcement, and health services. This paper covers the history and status of GIS-ALAS development and methodologies for data assimilation and system design. Issues covered include software selection, crash data and location, integration of background data and other applications, and distribution/security methods.
Supplemental Notes: Additional sponsorship provided by the Highway Engineering Exchange Program, the National Association of Regional Councils, and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association.
