How Does The Crash ProcessFlow Work in TREDS?

TREDSTREDS

Law enforcement crash reporting process

Crash reports are processed based on

priority (1st priority – fatal crashes, 2nd –

CMV crashes, etc.)

TREDS Data IntegrationsTREDS Data Integrations

TREDS architectural flexibility allows forintegrations with multiple systems toaccept and transmit data

•TREDS exports Commercial MotorVehicle crash data to Virginia State

Police (VSP)

•VSP uploads it the SafetyNet systemand MCMIS

SafetyNet DataSafetyNet Data

FARS/EDT IntegrationFARS/EDT Integration

•TREDS transmits 117 data fieldselectronically to NHTSA/FARS every day

•Fatal crash and highway related dataincluded in the integration (functionalsystem, alcohol test status, etc.)

•Exports driver data on the crash ifmedical condition was involved

•DMV is making sure that drivers areable to safely operate motorvehicles

Medical Review ProgramMedical Review Program

Records Management SystemsRecords Management Systems

•Data sent back to RMS system atlocal law enforcement agencies

•Allows them to merge their crashdata with other data sets (citations,crime statistics, etc.)

TREDS/Driver System IntegrationTREDS/Driver System Integration

•Automated verification of driver datafrom LE with driver database

•Updates the driver’s record with crashinformation

•BAC data received from VMEDS fordeceased drivers

•Data matched with person(s) involvedin fatal crashes

•BAC data is automatically transmittedto FARS after matching
