Process Overview
Many agencies struggle with making asset data not only available but also meaningful to safety decision-makers. While there is value in being able to visualize asset data on its own, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has seen an increased value in being able to visualize asset data in conjunction with crash data. This side-by-side comparison allows safety experts across Idaho to see what resources are currently present in any given area and identify areas for potential safety improvement.
“Without reliable information, a data-driven approach to decision-making was frequently impossible, resulting in rushed, anecdotal, costly ad hoc solutions.”
-Statewide Asset Inventory helps ITD track highway components
By utilizing the Asset Layer visualizations in Crash Query, ITD has been able to provide detailed asset location information, side-by-side with crash data, for all users of AASHTOWare Safety across the state.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has been able to empower its research partners with access to cable barrier location data, alongside historical crash data, to conduct an in-depth before/after analysis report to determine the overall effectiveness of cable barrier treatments across the state. By having a single source of crash and asset data, it has been much easier to share and interpret this data with their partners.
