Title: DEVELOPMENT OF WASHINGTON STATE'S TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION AND PLANNING SUPPORT SYSTEM
Abstract: In this paper is described the Transportation Information and Planning Support (TRIPS) system currently being developed by the Washington State Department of Transportation. The system is being developed in three major phases: analysis, design, and implementation. The information presented here is based on the work done in the analysis phase and in the early part of the design phase. TRIPS will be a data-based, integrated system that will include transportation information related to the highways in the state system. The major categories of data include physical attributes, counts, and accidents. The TRIPS system will be expandable to allow for future inclusion of additional data categories. Districts, headquarter's divisions, and other authorized state agencies will have access, via computer terminals, to the information stored in the data base. This will permit authorized personnel to retrieve traffic counts, accident data, roadway data, and other key information directly from the data base. The findings of the analysis phase, the basic functions and features of the trips system, the computer-related technical environment, and a summary benefit-cost analysis are included.
