The Accident Statistics Module maintains selected information from accident reports (OH-1) regarding accidents and all of the vehicles/pedestrians involved in the accidents on your roads. There are three main database files maintained by the user. The Road Master File Form contains the roads in your jurisdiction. Townships are maintained in the Township Master File Form. These files allow townships and roads to be selected when entering the information on the OH-1 form. This keeps data entry consistent. The OH-1 Form maintains information regarding each accident/crash on your roads.
This system provides reporting and graphing capabilities based on the data contained on the OH-1 form. Selecting the information you are looking for from the drop down values of the fields on the selection screens can customize the OH-1 reports and graphs. Answer the many questions about the safety of your roads, redirect your resources, and more effectively serve the public.
