TTI provided cross-correlation of various databases to identify and define crash trends. These databases include the Crash Record Information System (CRIS), the Texas Reference Marker (TRM) file including the Roadway/Highway Network Inventory (RHiNo) and the Texas Pavement Management Information System (PMIS) database. This effort allows sponsors to assess crash trends in order to recommend best-fit countermeasures that can be applied to reduce fatal and injury crashes. Once identified, these countermeasures can be used to form action plans that address state, national and international traffic safety problems. Additionally, CTS researchers provide crash analysis assistance to TxDOT as requested.
