our contributionApril 10, 20234 Copyright @ IBS Software Services. All Rights Reserved

Studied approaches to accident data management in several countries

This includes several states in Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, plus several other countries.

Hands-on, on-the site, involved study to understand the key issues involved

Recent experience of a large-scale data system project in Tamil Nadu State, India

We look forward to share some of these experiences


Tamil NaduApril 10, 20235 Copyright @ IBS Software Services. All Rights Reserved

One of the largest states in southern

India

Capital: Chennai

Population :66,396,000 (~ 3 times of

Malaysia)

Area 130,058 km2 (50,216 sq mi)

Nearly 10,000 people are killed in about

51,000 accidents annually.

Vehicle population growth – 10 to 11%

annually



• Accident Data system identified as a key need of the State and procurement planned under the World Bank Aided Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project

• The strategy adopted was to implement a proven solution for quicker results rather than develop a solution from scratch.

• Key Stakeholders - Highways Department, Transport Department, Police Department

• Contract awarded to IBS Software Services in JV with VicRoads International, Australia and IIT Madras

• Commencement of service on 25th October 2008

• Project Period – 9 months (on time, on budget delivery)

potential solutions



• No. of Installations: 1350 police stations, 600+ other users (engineers, other stakeholders)

• Multi-language

• Interfaces - GIS Systems, Driver License data system, Vehicle Registration data system

• Security features – Roles, User groups, departments based access

• Strong analysis and in-built data quality and road safety management capabilities

potential solutions



case study - results

• One year delay in using accident data

• No useful analysis done – only used for reporting in assembly/parliament queries

• Some systems not working, data not matching, no validations

• Some systems using maps, some not.

• No support & recognition for doing a good data collection job

• Reduced to 1-3 days• Accident data being used for

road safety interventions• Single set of data for all users.• Patterns being identified,

simple, effective, timely actions yielding good results

• Single, integrated map to plot accident locations.

• More recognition and focus, more central and other funding expected for specific problems.

Road Safety Management System (RSMS) - Enterprise• Single comprehensive web-based, GIS enabled, online system that

facilitates end to end crash data management

• Accident data keyed in from various locations by the police is available readily for all authorized users (Transport, Police, local authorities, key stakeholders in road safety etc.) from any PC connected to the net

• Proven, field-tested flexible solution; 3+ years of actual field operation & development.

• Keyed in accident data is centralized, secure and easy to back up

• Multiple language support

• Cross platform compatibility (can work in Windows, Linux)

• Lower operating costs

•Can be adopted to use evaluation and monitoring models like DEE (Disaggregated Effectiveness Evaluation) for strategic management

management

The program management functionality – “Safety Management Life-cycle”



the key issue



success factors

1. Clear objectives with fairly well defined, detailed project requirements – before the project

2. Adoption of a proven commercial off the shelf (COTS) solution with a short implementation period

3. One single solution for multiple stakeholders

4. Instituionaling the solution between stakeholder departments - with well defined roles, responsibilities and governance mechanisms

5. Identifying the right vendor - Long term commitment to the solution, quality standards and delivery capabilities

6. Support & maintenance - 24x7x365 with Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

7. Comprehensive training component - short, medium and long term

8. Complete ownership from police. Why? Helps the officer on the field, his manager and at HQ .



Move towards one single solution for multiple stakeholders

Low risk to client, result oriented, short-term implementation

Increasing adoption of open standards and “enterprise” open source technology by governments

Highly user friendly, simple to use solutions but complex technology running behind

Systems with strong monitoring and evaluation capabilities

Solutions with Project Management capabilities to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate road safety interventions

Greater project size and complexity demanding scalable solutions

recent trends



Open architecture – high level of modularity

Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence capabilities

Web-enabled but technology and database independent solutions

Complex spatial capabilities, without any 3rd party GIS software

SOA enabled solutions – future proofing investment

Interfaces to multitude of legacy and disparate systems

Adoption of proven solutions, instead of development from scratch (7 out of 10 Government IT projects fail)

New modes of delivery – SAAS, rental, BOT

recent trends



• Having clear “objectives” and detailed

requirements fundamental to success of

project

• Assisting police to benefit from data is key

to data quality

• New technology can reduce complexity of

crash data systems

• Low risk solutions preferable, with

committed vendors providing continuing

support
