NORTH CAROLINA TRAFFIC RECORDS SYSTEM STUDY. PHASE II. FINAL REPORT

THIS REPORT IS A DESCRIPTION OF PHASE II OF A THREE-PART STUDY OF THE NORTH CAROLINA TRAFFIC RECORDS SYSTEM CONDUCTED FOR THE GOVERNOR'S HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM. IN PHASE I THE TRAFFIC RECORDS SYSTEM WAS DESCRIBED, IN PHASE II THE SYSTEM IS ANALYZED AND MODIFICATIONS ARE OUTLINED, AND IN PHASE III A FINAL SYSTEM DESIGN AND AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WILL BE DEVELOPED. IN THIS REPORT THE TRAFFIC RECORDS SYSTEM IS ANALYZED IN TERMS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE OBJECTIVES AND REQUIREMENTS. IT IS OBSERVED THAT OBJECTIVES WILL NOT CHANGE IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, BUT THAT REQUIREMENTS WILL CHANGE DUE TO INCREASED FEDERAL, STATE, AND PRIVATE INVOLVEMENT IN HIGHWAY SAFETY. ALSO, OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES MUST BE MODIFIED OR ADDITIONAL SPACE AND PERSONNEL MUST BE PROVIDED TO MEET THE INCREASES IN VOLUME DUE TO NORMAL POPULATION GROWTH. BASED UPON THE ANALYSES CONDUCTED IN PHASE II, THREE MAJOR SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS ARE PROPOSED IN THE AREAS OF VEHICLE REGISTRATION, COMPUTER PROCEDURES, AND ACCIDENT RECORDS AND INSURANCE. A NUMBER OF MINOR SYSTEM CHANGES WHICH ARE NEEDED TO IMPROVE THE PRESENT SYSTEM ARE ALSO SUGGESTED. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE NEW COMPUTER FILES, PROCEDURAL CHANGES, AND RECOMMENDATIONS PERTAINING TO THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND THE PLANNING AND RESEARCH SECTIONS OF THE STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THESE MODIFICATIONS, WITH ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON OPERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION, WILL BE THE MAJOR CHANGES RECOMMENDED IN THE FINAL SYSTEM DESIGN. /SRIS/
