Crash Data Management System

Safety Screening Report The Safety Screening Report combines high crash loca on review with user‐defined criteria to evaluate the poten al applica on of low‐cost countermeasures. The report uses database automa‐ on and GIS tools to expedite review of candidate loca ons.

CDMS tools are adapted to target safety concerns through the 3E approach (engineering, enforcement, and educa on), and integrate the State of Florida’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan Emphasis Areas.
