Highway Safety Information Systems Laboratory (HSIS) Assessment Summary Report

摘要

The HSIS Laboratory offers value to FHWA's Research and Development program, to other offices within FHWA and DOT, to the safety research community in general, and to State and local engineers/planners. The purpose of the laboratory is to operate and maintain HSIS, to conduct research to support FHWA's mission and strategic goals, and to provide data to a wide variety of highway safety researchers. The HSIS laboratory also supports the development and use of data collection and analytical tools for the study of highway safety. Computerized photologs are used to visually verify existing data and collect supplemental data through traditional methods and advanced techniques, such as image recognition algorithms, and GIS-based tools applied to display and analyze safety data.
