n/a: Roadway Safety Data Dashboards
Comment:
The Roadway Safety Data Dashboard is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) tool that is designed to give state and local highway agencies access to roadway fatality data in an easy to use interface. Understanding which data set and definitions the dashboards draw from is critical to understanding the dashboard you create. The dashboards use: - Crash and fatality information from NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) database. The 2013 FARS data set is the preliminary (1st release) version. The updated final data files for 2013 are expected in the summer/fall of 2015. - Data definitions used in the FHWA Office of Safety’s Focus Focused Approach to Safety. A key document –Technical Summary: Federal Highway Administration Focus Area Data Definitions – provides detail on how FHWA arrived at definitions for roadway departure, intersection, and pedestrian fatalities. - State and national vehicle miles traveled (VMT) from FHWA’s Highway Statistics Series - Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) boundary information are derived using FHWA’s HEPGIS tool *Data sets cover years 2004 to 2013.
