1999 Evaluations
Crash location Demonstration project
using 3 counties $50,250 funding Evaluated test results
against existing system
Crash form changes Purely content
changes “it will cost $1 million
to change report” Evaluation funding

The Results
Crash location Existing system 4 – 6
percent error rate Existing system failed
to locate a number of crashes
Substantial time savings
Crash form The “$1 million”
became less than $100,000…

Beyond 2003
2004Back end queries – local through statewide
levelAddress the SR-21 – shifted the burden

Data Analysis Perspective
3 additional years of crash data within the next 9 months
Both 2002 and 2003 will each have 2 different crash forms (variables)
Ability to conduct “real-time” data evaluations
![Page 18: Indiana Crash Form Redesign and System Changes International Traffic Records Forum July 2003 Robert C. Zahnke.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bff21a28abf838cbc040/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In Retrospect…
Take it in small bites Let the data sell the project Use demo/pilot projects Recognize “players/objectives”
Officers Data content Data processing/entry Back end (what’s going to happen to the data?)
