Toward zero deaths : a national strategy on highway safety. White paper No. 8: Data systems and analysis tools.

Good data and good tools to assess the data are the foundation for safety decision makers. The more important determinants of success for data systems are collecting timely, accurate, and complete data efficiently, coupled with the ease of integrating (or linkages) and accessing the data for reporting and analysis. Co-authors Barbara Hilger Delucia and Geni Bahar examine the importance and future of data systems and analysis tools and the role of each in working towards zero deaths. (Author/publisher)
