INTEGRATED TRAFFIC RECORDS SYSTEM

The conversion of a manual system of traffic collision records to computer readable data files is described. Three master files were developed: collision master file, intersection master file, and road register master file. The data are processed through San Diego County's computerized traffic accident information system. The system provides more information than was possible through the manual method thus enabling the staff to provide a higher level of service in identification and more surveillance of high accident locations, traffic control devices, and police personnel assignment.
