  1. Badger TraCS – A Coordinated Effort Patricia McCallum Wisconsin Department of Transportation Traffic Records Forum July 16, 2003

  2. Wisconsin At A Glance • State Animal: Badger • State Beverage: Milk • State Motto: “Forward”

  3. Wisconsin At A Glance • Population: 5.364 million • Counties: 72 • Total miles of Roadway: 110,150 • Federal and State Trunk: 11,752 miles • County: 19,668 miles • Local: 78,730 miles • Crashes per Year: 140,000 • Citations per Year: 850,776 • Law Enforcement Agencies: 620

  11. Time to Change the Current Reporting System in Wisconsin “Bridging the gap between the state-of-practice and state-of-the-art”

  12. Looking At Options • Need to replace OS/2 Operating System • Limited funding available – federal funds only • Lack of IT resources for development • Desire to automate crash data reporting • Need to improve location data

  13. Reasons to Adopt TraCS-Administrative Benefits • Cost effective means to streamline data collection • Flexible and expandable architecture • Opportunity to enhance location data • One system for internal data entry and law enforcement automation

  14. Reasons to Adopt TraCS-Law Enforcement Benefits • Modular design to meet majority of data collection needs • Common data shared among forms • Options for reporting crashes • Reduction in administrative duties and paperwork • Driving records updated sooner

  15. Reasons to Adopt TraCS-Law Enforcement Benefits • Immediate access to their own data • Printed copies easier to read • Fewer keying errors • No more filling in bubbles • Data collection made easier, faster and more accurate

  16. TraCS Forms Development CRASH FORMS • Phase I – Driver Report of Accident (MV4002) Internal Entry System • Phase II – Police Accident Report (MV4000) Internal Entry System • Phase III – Automation of MV4000 for Law Enforcement

  17. TraCS Forms Development Phase I – Driver Report of Accident • Project began September 2001 • Created a focus group of processors • Added ODBC connectivity enhancement to TraCS (External Search) • 200+ edits in form • Implemented July 2002

  18. TraCS Forms Development Phase II – Police Accident Report • Project began August 2002 • Project about 95% complete • Involved a focus group of processors • Adopted most of the edits from MV4002 plus added several more • Entry of Truck/Bus fields • Will include data entry of latitude and longitude coordinates if filled out by officer • Plan to implement summer 2003

  19. TraCS Forms Development Phase III – Automation • Project planned to start fall 2003 • Create Outreach group of law enforcement officers • Adopt the majority of edits from internal MV4000 plus modifications • Develop abbreviated deer, fatal supplement, and driver information exchange forms • Establish an image system for storing electronic data • Establish a way to print the electronic reports • Pilot early 2004

  20. TraCS Forms Development Location • Work group formed to provide recommendations on location data capture • Comprised of DOT, Law Enforcement and other agency personnel • Latitude and longitude coordinates can currently be captured using GPS • Will be entered starting in Phase II • Considering an automated map tool such as CTRE tool

  22. TraCS Forms Development E-Citation • Project began January 2003 • Outreach group formed • Single entry screen • 100+ validations • Data sent to Circuit Court Automation Program and Municipal Courts • Field testing fall 2003 • Statewide roll-out 2004

  23. E-Citation – Field Entry Screen
