Highway Safety Information System Brochure
The Federal Highway Administration has released a brochure that describes the Highway Safety Information System, which is a roadway–based system that provides data on accident, roadway, and traffic variables. The data are acquired annually from a select group of states, processed into a common computer format, documented, and prepared for analysis. HSIS is used in support of the FHWA safety research program and provides input for program policy decisions.
HSIS is also available to professionals conducting research under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program, universities, and others studying highway safety.
