| Project Description: | This project is one part (Enforcement) of the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for the State of Iowa. The project will provide funding for computer hardware and peripherals to support the development of a suite of software and technologies to speed the processing of crash data known as the National Model. This project seeks to enhance the current Iowa statewide crash data reporting system through the use of automated collection and data capture tools. The operational objective is to enable on-scene officers to enter crash-related data in on-vehicle computers connected to state crash databases. Dissemination of grants to local enforcement agencies will expand the use of the National Model throughout the state, and pursue the following goals: - Improvement of highway safety data collection and management processes. - Increase officer efficiency by enabling automated capture, transmission and sharing of crash scene data. - Improve data quality, and - Enhance officer safety. |
