Collision Image Access
This project will develop a collision image viewer to allow agencies who rely on collision data to view electronic images of collision reports. The Washington State Patrol will use this product to view collision reports involving commercial vehicles. The image viewer will also be used in the Electronic County Location Coding project to provide county engineers collision report images. Additionally, the project will provide CVD with a data feed containing collision data for commercial vehicle collisions. This data feed will auto populate the SAFETYNET system.
Project Lead: Department of Transportation
Estimated Cost: $425,000
Implementation Schedule: 3/2004 – 10/2005
Traffic Records Website
The Washington Traffic Records Committee (TRC) is responsible for planning and coordinating traffic records projects to enhance transportation safety throughout the state. The TRC will develop a website to improve communication efforts with stakeholders. The website will provide information about meetings, projects, national and state documents, and standards. The site will be an informational resource to agencies and organizations across the state.
Project Lead: Washington Traffic Safety Commission
Estimated Cost: $5,000
Implementation Schedule: 4/2005 – 8/2005
Collision Data Timeliness
Approximately 140,000 collisions occur on Washington’s roadways each year. Collision reports collected for each of these incidents provide valuable data to various agencies and organizations. The delay from the time of the event until the information is available to consumers averages eight months. This project provides means to allow the Department of Transportation to reduce the current backlog of data entry. Reduction of this backlog will enable collision reports to be entered into the statewide collision database within 60 days of the incident.

Estimated Cost: $ 420,000
Implmentation Schedule: 8/2004 – 9/2005
Electronic County Location Coding
Annually, an estimated 30,000 collision reports require additional location analysis by county engineers. Hardcopies of these reports are sent to couties along with a coding form (CLCF) to more accurately locate county road collisions. These engineers provide additional data and mail the CLCF back to the WSDOT. This process is automated by electonically notifying county engineers of a collision in their jurisdiction and providing access to a WSDOT internet site for viewing images of the reports. Location analysis data can be gathered and then electronically transmitted through the site directly into the statewide collision database.

Esitmated Cost: $90,000
Implementation Schedule: 1/2005 – 9/2005
Web-Based Citizen Collision Reporting
The Department of Transportation currently receives about 20,000 Vehicle Collision Reports (VCRs) each year. These reports are filed by citizens that have been involved in an uninvestigated collision. Various data from these reports are entered into the CLAS database. This project seeks to automate this process.

Implementation Schedule: 2009
WA Transportation Framework (WA-Trans)
The Transportation Framework project will provide a statewide, standards-based method of location for transportation data. This standardized data will be utilized by GIS systems and will include information regarding where all roads, rails, ferry routes and other transportation infrastructure are located. WA-Trans provides an accurate statewide transportation data layer for improved feature and event location.
Project Lead: Department of Transportation
Estimated Cost: $4,000,000
Implementation Schedule: 4/2003 – 4/2009
Mobility Information System CLAS
(Collision Data) Module
This project will add a CLAS module to Mobility that would enable county engineers to make more informed decisions on traffic safety improvements. This will improve analysis capabilities of statewide collision data for county engineers.
Project Lead: County Road Administration Board (CRAB)
Cost: $25,000
Implementation Schedule: 10/2005 – 2/2006
WA EMS Information System (WEMSIS)
The Washington EMS Information System will capture non-confidential data on all prehospital patient encounters from the 500+ licensed prehospital services in the state. WEMSIS establishes a standard for reporting data, a DOH repository for collecting and storing the data, and a method for prehospital agencies, supervising physicians, regional planners and others to retrieve reports from the dataset.
Project Lead: Department of Health
Estimated Cost: $750,000
Implementation Schedule: 2006-2009
