HSRG is working in conjunction with DOTD to develop new techniques to analyze and display crash data. Present in a manner the end user can easily identify problem areas Supply interactive data techniques Provide information which is visual and easy to comprehend
Louisiana Regional Safety Coalition Data To accommodate each Safety Coalition, HSRG produces analyzed data sets consisting of 3 Levels
Level I
Level 2
Level 3 - Crash
Level 3 - Driver
Level 3 - Person
Level 3 – Bike/Pedestrian
Level 3 – Crash Normalized
Level 3 – Person Normalized
