RECOMMENDATIONS RESULTING FROM NORTH CAROLINA TRAFFIC RECORDS SYSTEM STUDY. PHASE I. FINAL REPORT.

THE EXISTING NORTH CAROLINA TRAFFIC RECORD SYSTEM HAS BEEN DEFINED AND DESCRIBED. THIS EFFORT WAS ACCOMPLISHED AS THE FIRST PART OF AN ANALYSIS OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT OBJECTIVES FOR THE SYSTEM BE DETERMINED AND CLEARLY STATED. FURTHERMORE, THE NEEDS OF PRESENT SYSTEM USERS AND PROJECTED FUTURE NEEDS SHOULD BE EVALUATED AGAINST THESE OBJECTIVES AND REPORTED. FINALLY THE TRAFFIC RECORDS SYSTEM SHOULD BE REDESIGNED AROUND THE OBJECTIVES AND THEIR CORRELATED NEEDS. THROUGH SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A GUIDE PLAN BE DEVELOPED WHICH WILL SATISFY THE INCREASED TRAFFIC RECORDS REQUIREMENTS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE MANNER. INEFFECTIVE SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS WILL BE DECREASED OR ELIMINATED. ALSO, UNUSED INFORMATION, OR INFORMATION BEING COLLECTED WHICH MEETS NO OBJECTIVE, WILL BE ELIMINATED. THE PLAN WILL BE DESIGNED TO ALLEVIATE EMINENT PROBLEMS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY PHASE THE SOLUTIONS INTO FUTURE PLANS. ADDITIONALLY, FORECASTS WILL BE DEVELOPED TO GUIDE FUTURE FUNDING AND MANPOWER NEEDS ALLOWING FOR RELATIVELY SMOOTH AND EFFECTIVE SYSTEM UPDATING TRANSITIONS. /SRIS/
