Data that CMISST curates fall into four broad categories:
- Crash and crash outcome including geo-located state crash and national databases [Crash]
- Driving information data from major naturalistic driving studies [Driving]
- Geospatial information on roadways linked to crash and driving data [GIS]
- Exposure data, such as the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), licensing data, and census data [Other]
CMISST provides web-based data access tools that allow for rapid generation of customized datasets and combinations of multiple datasets as well as customized codebooks.
CMISST faculty and staff conduct research involving analysis of all of these datasets as well as other related transportation data types, such as EMS, vehicle sales and ownership, state trauma registries, public transit use, etc. A major focus of our research is on analyses that require linking of transportation datasets (e.g., linking geo-located state crash datasets to EMS and hospital data to enable the use of highway performance metrics based on serious injury, or combing exposure information from NHTS with naturalistic driving data to estimate the prevalence of precrash scenarios and the effectiveness of crash avoidance technologies).
