Staff members at the Center for Analytics & Research in Transportation Safety (CARTS) are proud to represent LSU at numerous professional conferences each year. Louisiana is a leader in transportation safety, in part due to CARTS' contributions to the advancement of traffic records. In its work, CARTS uses emerging technology and innovative methodologies in GIS, data visualization, data quality, and business intelligence.

The Louisiana Traffic Records Coordinating Committee along with the Center for Analytics & Research in Transportation Safety (a division of the E. J. Ourso College of Business) and other TRCC Members hosted the second annual Traffic Records User Conference on LSU's Campus on July 30. Attendees included numerous law enforcement personnel, state agency representatives, and other traffic safety stakeholders.
Ralph D. Mitchell Jr., retired Lt. Colonel, Louisiana State Police, gave the keynote presentation on Updating the Louisiana Crash Report. Breakout sessions included topics on Local Roadway Data Governance, A Data-Driven Approach to HSIP Performance Measure Target Planning for MPO's, Data Management & Disaster Recovery Practices, Louisiana State Crash Report & Statutes in a Mobile Platform, Creating Interactive Infographics for Highway Safety, Sudden Impact Program Evaluation from the 2018-2019 School Year, Traffic Incident Management, Map Spotting & Spatial Analysis of Crash Data, and Reducing Alcohol-Related Fatalities with Ride Sharing.
The Louisiana Traffic Records Coordinating Committee consists of over thirty members representing seventeen agencies and offers this conference to open up the discussion to a broader audience, thus allowing safety stakeholders to share research, crowdsource ideas, troubleshoot problems, and build partnerships. The Traffic Records User Conference provides a forum for the creation, implementation, and management of a traffic safety information system with the goal of providing timely, accurate, complete, uniform, integrated, and accessible traffic safety data.
