Thirteen respondents reported a total cost for developing their statewide crash records system. Although it was not possible to determine the system elements included in the total cost, the mean cost of crash systems reported was just over $861,000.

Recent costs for large crash systems that were not reported in this survey include the Texas crash system, which is expected to cost approximately $9 million and the Indiana crash system that has cost approximately $5.5 million. Question 9 asked respondents for the cost of collecting and entering crash data into their crash records system.

The geographic dispersion of the responses gives some measure of comfort in claiming that the results are representative of the United States. Unfortunately, some large states and some states that are known to be working on new crash records and traffic records systems did not respond to the survey.

From page 18... ...
From the survey responses, there was no consensus among practitioners about a crash records system that served all aspects of a successful traffic records system. There are systems that, perhaps, efficiently capture all the needed data in a single area (e.g., crashes)
