Abstract:
The State Data Transfer (SDT) program is a voluntary collection of motor vehicle crash data. State agencies collect information about motor vehicle crashes on Police Accident Reports (PARs) for their own needs. In general, a PAR includes information about the vehicles and individuals involved in a crash, injuries or fatalities resulting from a crash, roadway information, environmental information, and information to reconstruct the crash scenes, etc. The SDT is a process through which participating States transfer their PAR data to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). SDT has two components that NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) calls protocols: 1. The State Data System (SDS) protocol obtains PAR crash data from States that submit data on an annual basis to NCSA. The data is submitted via electronic media, such as encrypted CD-ROM/DVD, or through secured mail or a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP). Files submitted through the SDS protocol are referred to as “annual crash files.” 2. The Electronic Data Transfer (EDT) protocol obtains PAR crash data, crash reports, and crash images from participating State crash systems through an electronic data transfer. Generally, this transfer occurs on a nightly basis following State data quality control checks and acceptance by each State’s centralized database. The information is transmitted using Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files through a web service using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) protocol between a State’s crash data system and NHTSA. The SDT process allows States to submit all their PAR data to NHTSA. NCSA will then use this data to develop a census of the participating State’s crashes. This dataset will help NCSA identify existing and emerging highway safety trends and assess the effectiveness of motor vehicle safety standards and new and emerging technologies. NHTSA will also use the dataset to support NHTSA’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program. Specifically, NHTSA will use the data to complete the cost-benefit analyses for CAFE rulemakings, including using the data to evaluate the effects vehicle mass has on fatalities. NHTSA will also use the information collected to support NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigation (SCI), Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS), Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN), and other data collection programs by pre-populating data where possible and leveraging the data for sample selection, etc. NHTSA will also share the data with other Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies that analyze crash data for motor vehicle and traffic safety trends. NHTSA continues to estimate that the burden associated with this collection is 683 hours and $0.
