NJ State Police Use Plan4Safety
The New Jersey State Police (NJSP) has announced it will use Plan4Safety crash data analysis program as the main resource to obtain and analyze crash data within its Field Operations Section. NJSP will use Plan4Safety to more effectively pinpoint high-crash areas and analyze contributing circumstances to determine safety solutions.
Developed by the Transportation Safety Resource Center (TSRC) at CAIT, Plan4Safety is a free, web-based comprehensive crash analysis application that helps New Jersey safety professionals accurately analyze crash data and decide how best to focus on high-incident sites in particular geographical areas. Development of the product was funded by NJDOT.
Using Plan4Safety tools such as cluster finder and cross tab analysis, state police safety planners will examine contributing factors relating to truck traffic incidents in highway work zones and compare multi-faceted crash data in different areas on state roadways. This data will be analyzed to help police effectively plan budget-wise safety efforts to mitigate traffic issues.
Plan4Safety is available to New Jersey safety professionals at plan4safety.rutgers.edu. It is currently in use by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), and many state, county, and local law enforcement and planning agencies. (May 2009)
