Introduction • The following pages provide a conceptual analysis of the Alabama Uniform Traffic Crash Report system. • The recommended development platform is Microsoft Access version 97. • Will run on any PC with a Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, or XP operating system. • PC must have Microsoft Access installed. • Systems developed with Access 97 can be easily converted to newer versions of Access. • Allows simultaneous connection to one or more relational database(s) using an ODBC driver obtained from the database vendor. • Can be installed on individual PCs or run from a server share point.
Using the System • Providing for growth and consistency: • Data entry requiring a single selection from a list of choices is presented as a drop-down list. • Data entry where multiples can be selected from a list of choices is presented as a checkbox list with a scroll bar. • Data entry requiring a single selection from a small list of choices (Yes or No, Male or Female, etc.) is presented as option or radio buttons. • Data entry that may only be answered as Yes or True and may not always be relevant is presented as a checkbox.
Navigating the System • Follows the layout of the paper version of the crash report as closely as possible for ease of data entry. • Initial form allows searching for existing crash reports, initiating the addition of new crash reports, and report generation. • An existing crash report can be modified once it is located and displayed. • A crash report is added/modified/viewed in sections: • Location and Time data fields are displayed initially. Changes can be saved or cancelled • The first Driver/Pedestrian Unit is displayed or added when the “Units Involved” button is clicked on the Location and Time screen. • Remaining Units can be displayed by clicking the navigation bar on the Driver/Pedestrian Unit screen. • Units can be added and deleted from the Driver/Pedestrian Unit screen. Any number of Units can be added for each crash report. • Vehicle information can be displayed, added or modified for a driver by clicking the “Vehicle” button when the driver’s Unit screen is displayed.
Locate a Crash Report by Local or DPS Case Number • Add a Crash Report • Produce reports
