GIS-ALAS: Accident Location and Analysis System
Sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation
Office of Transportation Safety

Why Crash Analysis Systems?
• >100 persons killed/day (>37,000 in 1996)
• 8.8 million crashes per year in USA
• 2.3 million injuries
• vast amount of uncoordinated data
• powerful/low cost computing
• potentially huge B/C source: NHTSA 1997

Past/present ALAS (PC-ALAS)
• PC-based system• User-friendly interface, easy to learn• About 700,000 crashes over 10 years• Provides easy access to data• Several Uses:
– obtain accident statistics by time and location
– query database by accident/driver characteristics
– generate reports on-screen, to a file, to the printer

Current Difficulties
• Node numbers must be identified from tables or paper maps
• Difficult to analyze patterns
• Does not readily support integration of additional data
• Hard to identify crash “hot spots” and to analyze causes and countermeasures

GIS-ALAS Project Goals
• Develop geographic/map-based ALAS
• Use Power of GIS
• Portable, accessible, windows based
• Free users from node maps
• statewide coverage
• supports highway safety analysis
• facilitate integration with other data

Software Selection
• GIS World list– distribution
– development language
– vendor stability
• short list (pre-Geomedia)– ESRI (ArcView, Arcview Publisher, ArcExplorer,
MapObjects)
– Mapinfo
– Caliper (Maptitude)

Usability Study
• Evaluate capabilities
• Assess documentation
• Identify bugs and problems in data
• Identify differences between users' and designers' perceptions
• Report user difficulties
• Report on success of revision

Phase II
• refine gis-alas and explorer alas
• currently building explorer ABBBC database (99%!)
• working with past UNI work. future?
• intersection analysis capabilities (work with UI?)
• link-node lat/long conversion process
• assess avenue of saints as case study
• tech transfer, TRAINING!!! (how to use, why it's useful!)
• Jan - Oct 98
