摘要: The Iowa DOT contracted with the Center for Transportation Research and Education (CTRE) to conduct a research project that evaluates existing collision diagram software packages as well as any other innovations in the area of collision diagramming. A literature search was conducted along with telephone interviews to evaluate the state of the practice. Over nine different collision diagram software packages were initially investigated. Two collision diagram packages were evaluated in-depth. They were Intersection Magic (developed by Pd' Programming) and Accident Information Management System: GIS (developed by JMW Engineering, Inc.). Both of these packages were tested with current Iowa DOT accident data. Based on the constraints presented by the Iowa DOT, CTRE recommends Intersection Magic as the collision diagram software package. The major advantages of Intersection Magic are: (1) compatibility with existing PC-ALAS structure; (2) compatibility with a GIS platform; (3) ability to edit accident records; (4) requires a PC with a 386 processor or higher, MS Windows 3.1 or later, 4 MB of RAM, VGA or higher resolution monitor, 6 MB of hard disk space, and any compatible printer; (5) good supporting graphics; (6) sophisticated internal scripting language for repetitive tasks; (7) ability to conduct filters and queries; (8) good support from software developer; (9) ability to alter intersection alignment and move accidents around within intersection; (10) and the ability to retrieve accident records by clicking on the accident icon.
