NHTSA Traffic Records
Training
Traffic Records 101 course work provides
basic information for professional development in traffic records, and can serve
as excellent study aids for anyone interested in becoming ATSIP certified. Topics will cover an overview of Traffic Safety
Information Systems (TSIS), including crash, citation/adjudication, driver, and
vehicle components. Course work may be found under:
http://www.trafficrecords101.net.
The following organizations have training materials or

NCSA State Data Program
CODES
- Crash Outcome Data Evaluation Systems
Crashes can
be prevented, or reduced, but only if we understand their type, severity and
cost in relation to the characteristics of the crash, vehicles, and persons
involved. Crash data alone do not indicate the injury problem in terms of the
medical and financial consequences. By linking crash, vehicle, and behavior
characteristics to their specific medical and financial outcomes, we can
identify prevention factors.
MMUCC
- Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria
MMUCC is a
voluntary set of guidelines that help states collect consistent, reliable crash
data that are more effective for identifying traffic safety problems,
establishing goals and performance measures, and monitoring the progress of
programs.
Some of
America's leading traffic safety experts worked together to develop the MMUCC
guidelines, including representatives from groups in safety, engineering,
emergency medical services, law enforcement, public health, and motor carriers.
Federal Register: Guidelines
for Impaired Driving Records Information Systems
ANSI D16.1
(1997) Manual on Classification of
Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents
ANSI-D20 (2003) -- Data Dictionary for Traffic Records Systems
NHTSA supports the use of uniform crash report form data elements and encourages
the use of ANSI D-16 and D-20 standards.
The purpose of ANSI-16, Manual On Classification Of Motor Vehicle Traffic
Accidents, is to provide a common language for collectors and users of
traffic crash data. The purpose of
ANSI D-20, Data Element Dictionary For Traffic Records Systems, is to
provide a common set of element coding instructions as these relate to traffic
safety, driver licensing and vehicle registration.
