DGR extraced traffic crash data and perforedm analyses for all opposite-direction (wrong way) crashes that occurred on the state road system from 1987 through 1994. Special emphasis was placed on contributing factors and crash characteristics to identify common characteristics of severe opposite-direction crashes. A "sliding window" technigue will be employed to identify clusters and produce GIS maps of these clusters. Roadway characteristic data from CHDB (Consolidated Highway Database) was integrated with the analyses and special listings were produced. Emphasis will also be placed on determining the extent to which opposite-direction crashes on rural and urban interstates contribute to the problem. A special report of the major findings of this project was printed
The Division worked with the Division of Epidemiology, Evaluation and Planning to design and implement a Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES). The core of this effort involved matching data about traffic crashes to medical data related injuries. The SAS and AUTOMATCH address matching systems were used to accomplish this complicated data integration problem. This resulted in more detailed information about injuries useful for many epidemiological studies and other planning and public information purposes.

The goal of the Records Access Project (RAP) project is to provide access to traffic crash data and analysis products over the Internet and dial-up connections. This easily accessible, up-to-date archive will be available to police agencies, university researchers and other authorized users. In addition, data in DGR's files will be updated more frequently than the current annual cycle as a result of work undertaken during this project.
During this phase of the RAP project DGR completed designing system goals and evaluating software and hardware solutions. An initial WWW page was created at UNM for public access to traffic crash data through the Internet.
DGR developed linkages among relevant data sets to evaluate traffic crash injury patterns. The data sets involved included the TSB crash files, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) data, hospital emergency department data, Trauma Registry data, hospital discharge data, Medical Investigator (for deaths) data, and rehabilitation data. Over the two year course of this project, the Emergency Department Injury Survelliance System and the Rehabilitation Database will be developed.
