Samenvatting
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 has served to encourage the development of information management systems in the U.S. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are one example of such a system aimed at promoting safety and more efficient expenditure of public resources. This paper, therefore, describes the development of a traffic safety GIS prototype for spatial analysis of traffic collisions in Honolulu, Hawaii. Various classes of spatial analysis, involving points, segments, and zones, with special reference to the nature of motor vehicle collisions and traffic safety research, were developed.
