36th International Forum on Traffic Records & Highway Safety Information Systems The Hilton Riverside Hotel, New Orleans,
Louisiana The Forum Program addresses issues and research within or across one or more of the six federal Core Highway Safety Data Systems: (Crash, Roadway, Driver, Vehicle, Citation/ Adjudication, and Injury Surveillance) as well as in related fields of human behavior, information management and information technology. The 2010 Program will emphasize research
and programs that cut across and exist outside the usual separate “programmatic
silos” that have narrowed and restricted the progress across the wide front of
traffic safety issues. In keeping with the goal to widen the world view of
traffic safety information professionals, the planning committee is seeking to
build a program that encompasses the widest range of traffic safety topics.
NHTSA Model Impaired Driving Records
Information System (MIDRIS) In 1997, NHTSA published “Driving While Intoxicated Tracking Systems” (DOT HS 808 520). This report laid the foundation for building a DWI tracking system. In 2001, in collaboration with some non-governmental partners, and state and federal agencies, NHTSA expanded the framework to a more comprehensive model. In 2002, NHTSA solicited participation to demonstrate a Model Impaired Driving Records Information System and selected Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. In 2004, NHTSA also selected the State of Connecticut to participate in the demonstration This project’s objective is to assist states accelerate improvements of their impaired driving records information system that will support the above functions by: 1) timely tracking each impaired driving offender from arrest through dismissal or sentence completion; 2) providing impaired driving-related aggregate data; 3) conforming to national standards and system performance standards; 4) providing accessible, accurate, complete, consistent, and integrated data, and 5) maintaining quality control and security features that will not allow core and essential data elements and/or impaired driving records to become corrupt or compromised. This project will provide states an
opportunity to obtain technical assistance to benchmark existing impaired
driving system components, identify milestones towards a model impaired driving
records information system, identify performance measures to achieve timely,
accurate, complete, consistent, accessible, and integrated or linked data,
files, and records, while showing progress under Section 408. Purpose The purpose of this project is to assist states’ efforts to improve the impaired driving records information system by providing recommendations that will enable a state to effectively perform the following functions: · Appropriately charging and sentencing offenders, based on their driving history; · Timely manage impaired driving cases from arrest through the completion of court and administrative sanctions; · Identifying populations and trends, evaluating countermeasures, and identifying problematic components of the overall impaired driving control system; · Providing stakeholders with adequate and timely information to fulfill their responsibilities; and · Reducing administrative costs for system stakeholders and increasing system efficiencies.
