NJTR-1 Crash from Refresher Course

Successful, proactive road safety improvement plans depend on the accuracy of data collected at crash scenes. Each year, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) collects approximately 300,000 crash reports from law enforcement agencies that can be uploaded into crash analysis systems like the NJDHTS Crash Analysis Tool. However, many of these reports are submitted with incomplete or incorrect information, which can negatively impact the effectiveness of data-driven crash reduction efforts.

The course reviews common NJTR-1 errors for both passenger and commercial motor vehicle crashes and offers methods to improve the quality of data that safety colleagues rely on. Crash Analysis Tool software functions and the process of moving data from the crash report to a computer also will be discussed. All changes to the updated NJTR-1 will be addressed.

Crash Analysis Tool Demonstration

This demonstration is to provide an overview of the Crash Analysis Tool and how to use it. The 3-hour window will provide for a brief demonstration of the tool, as well as one-on-one assistance to create and save queries for future use.

The Crash Analysis Tool is a powerful analysis tool designed to allow engineers, planners, designers, and executives to perform analysis, reporting, and crash data review in one streamlined, easy to use platform. The tool allows merging of multiple data sets including crash data, roadway data, and various safety layers for a seamless experience, referencing data from various sources and using it to make data-driven decisions regarding roadway safety. The tool includes the ability to quickly identify crash patterns, drill down within the data and analyze segments at varying levels.
