Model Inventory of Roadway Data Elements (MIRE)
MIRE is a listing and accompanying data dictionary of roadway and traffic data elements
critical to safety management. MIRE provides the basis for what constitutes a robust
data inventory, a critical need when using the new generation of safety data analysis
tools and methods, including the HSM and related tools (IHSDM and SafetyAnalyst).
There are a total of 202 elements in MIRE divided among three broad categories including
roadway segments, roadway alignment, and roadway junctions. 2 Click here for more information on MIRE.
Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC)
MMUCC is a minimum, standardized data set for describing motor vehicle crashes and
the vehicles, persons, and environment involved. The Guideline is designed to generate
the information necessary to improve highway safety within each state and nationally.
This data set has 110 data elements, including 77 data elements to be collected
at the scene, 10 data elements to be derived from the collected data, and 23 data
elements to be obtained after linkage to driver history, injury and roadway inventory
data.

Crash Data Improvement Technical Assistance Program (CDIP)
CDIP gives states a way to measure the quality of their crash database in terms
of its timeliness, accuracy, and completeness as well as the consistency in the
way agencies report the information. Other measures in the program examine the state's
ability to integrate crash data with other safety databases and how the state makes
the crash data accessible to users.

Crash Cost Calculator
The Crash Cost Calculator functions as a simple calculator to assist state DOTs
in estimating the crash costs to their specific state when focusing on relevant
target crash types and maximum crash severity injury level. The tool calculates
the current crash costs and the future safety effect of potential treatment(s) once
implemented.
