Introduction • Dave Krasnow • Software Development Manager • EDS • Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (Registry or RMV) • 617-351-9830 • david.krasnow@eds.com
Background • Registry Collects Data on Motor Vehicle Crashes • 280,000 Crash Reports per Year • 130,000 from Law Enforcement Officers • 150,000 from Operators • Mass Highway Department Primary User of Data for Safety Related Projects
Goal • Collect Crash Data as efficiently, accurately, and timely as possible • Effectively validate all crash data (especially location data) • Provide full and easy access to crash data and much more for anyone in the state and country with a legitimate business purpose
The Pieces • Data Collection • Data Validation • Data Access
Data Collection (Electronic Submission) • Police Reports • XML • Operator Reports • Web site • All forms of electronic submission create the same XML and feed into one processing engine • XML follows national standard
Why We Chose XML • Every other option was as complex or more complex than XML • State of the Art Technology • Versatile, Robust, Powerful • Industry Standard
Data Validation • RMV • Reference tables • Streets, Intersections, Mile Markers, Exit Ramps • Mass Highway • Linkage to Roadway Inventory File • GIS
Data Access • Crash Reports • Online access to CDS by MHD to see actual reports, diagrams, narratives • Report requests from general public via web site • Report requests from large customers (Ins Cos) via XML web services and billed monthly
Data Access (continued) • MHD Database • Roadway Safety analysis • Data for Analysis • Statewide Transportation Data Warehouse • GHSB • Loaded with information • Accessible to anyone with a legitimate purpose via the web
So How Much of this Actually Exists? • Data Collection • Police Report Electronic Submission is live but only a small percent are received electronically • Operator Report web site is just a concept • Paper reports are not imaged • No national XML standard exists … yet
So How Much of this Actually Exists? • Data Validation • RMV side is fully implemented • MHD GIS software is in final specifications phase. Funding was just approved to continue.
So How Much of this Actually Exists? • Data Access • MHD has online access to RMV database • Report Requests are only paper. Web sites and web services are just concepts • GHSB Data Warehouse is in pilot testing with a subset of data. Hopefully live within a few months
Summary • Much of it is just concepts • Not formulated into a strategic plan yet • Could be achieved in under five years • Can it work for Massachusetts? • Goals are attainable!
