CARE
About
The Critical Analysis Reporting Environment (CARE) is a data analysis software package originally designed for problem identification and countermeasure development in traffic safety applications.
It uses advanced analytical and statistical techniques to generate valuable information directly form data.
Using CARE’s step-by-step on screen menus, it is easy to turn data into enlightening information.
CARE provides:
- descriptive statistics
- information mining
- geographical information system access
- roadway engineering support
- dashboard support
CARE’s dashboard support includes access to real-time statistics on key law enforcement systems including:
- traffic citations
- crash reports
- criminal incident reports
- other critical systems for which we have developed field data capture software
Dashboards have been deployed for:
- police agencies
- traffic engineers
- traffic safety stakeholders
While its primary use is for traffic safety, CARE can be used to process any database including:
- emergency medical services
- medical data
- nursing data
- questionnaires
- criminal justice
The CARE software for traffic safety applications is available free of charge. In order to take full advantage of CARE, existing data must be converted into a CARE dataset. In the case of a state, initial state CARE data sets can be created by having the state’s current database read by CARE’s Extract=Translate-Load (ETL) to produce the various CARE datasets that form the CARE warehouse. CAPS can create the initial state CARE dataset for your state for a reasonable fee. Contact Us.
The CARE software exists in both a desktop version for Windows OS and a Web version. CARE can be downloaded here or installed from a CD. Additionally, some highway safety CARE capabilities are also available online at the CARE Online Analysis site.
CARE is an award-winning program:
NHTSA 1995 Administrator’s Public Service Award
Runner-up for the 2015 ATSIP Best Practice Award.
Using the CARE program will undoubtedly assist the traffic safety program of any organization that chooses to use it.
