FMCSA Systems

SAFETYNET – Used by State and Federal offices to collect, manage, and transfer

roadside inspection and crash data to the FMCSA

Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS)– FMCSA repository for motor carrier registration, roadside inspection, crash,

compliance review, and other motor carrier enforcement information

Analysis and Information (A&I) Online – Web based tool designed to provide access to descriptive statistics and

analyses regarding commercial vehicle, driver, and carrier safety information.

DataQs

– Electronic means for filing concerns about Federal and State data released by the FMCSA

SAFETYNET Match Process Matches crash and inspection records to motor carriers

– Batch mode: runs against groups of crash or inspection records at a single time

– Interactive mode: runs against the currently viewed crash or inspection record

SAFETYNET Reports Data Entry Reports

– Data Entry Verification Report– Data Entry Status Report– Data Entry Workload Report– Duplicate Inspection Numbers

Upload Status Reports– Upload Summary Report– Upload Timeline Report

MCMIS Upload Edit Result Messages (crash only)



Data Entry Reports:


Upload Status Reports:

SAFETYNET Query ToolRecord (menu) -> Query

Uses SAFETYNET’s built in Query by Example builder.

Used for selecting distinct groups of records. Queries can be built using multiple fields and

multiple conditions. Example: Display all crashes that occurred between 01/01/2006 and 07/31/2006 with fatalities

Reports can be generated based on query results


Example: Display all crashes that occurred between 01/01/2006 and 07/31/2006 with fatalities

SAFETYNET Query Tool:


SAFETYNET Activity LogsSystem (menu) -> Activity Logs Provides a summary of records imported,

prepared, and confirmation file processing– Identifies fatal errors and warnings– Identifies specific records with issues

Includes summary report at the end of the activity


MCMIS Reports:

Management Reports (Monthly basis)– Summary of Non-Matched Inspections– Timeliness of Inspection Uploads– Summary of Non-Matched Crashes– Timeliness of Crash Uploads

Real Time Reports (Requested by user)– Timeliness of Inspection Uploads by Safety Inspector– Non-match Crash & Inspection Records– Duplicate Crash & Inspection records

Evaluation

State Safety Data Quality (SSDQ)– Evaluation of the completeness, timeliness, accuracy, and

consistency of State reported data to MCMIS – Results are updated quarterly– Available to the General Public

Data and Reports– Access to data and reports that can be used to analyze data quality

issues and to monitor trends in reporting Link to University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute

(UMTRI) Reports on Truck and Bus data quality Quarterly snapshot of MCMIS and FARS data available for

download in EXCEL format (password protected)


Evaluation

Monitoring

Monthly Progress Report (MPR)– Monthly SSDQ evaluation results to Federal and State enforcement

agencies

– Historical SSDQ evaluation results (for the previous 12 months) to enable users to track their data quality improvements

– Supplemental Reports with additional information on the quality of State-reported data in MCMIS and DataQs summary statistics


Monitoring


Improvement:

Police Accident Reporting (PAR)– Web-based educational resource for law

enforcement officers, CMV inspection authorities, accident investigation trainers, and State Department of Transportation accident record developers and users.

– Five lessons that define and provide examples of FMCSA related crash data collected and reported to SAFETYNET.


Improvement:A&I Data Quality Module

What is DataQs?

Electronic means for filing concerns about Federal and State data released by the FMCSA

Allows motor carriers to submit data quality challenges related to motor carrier safety data

Routes the challenges to the appropriate organization for resolution based on the type of challenge

http://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov

DataQs On-line reports provide summaries of data challenges received by MCSAP Agencies.
