Applications

Intersection Magic is designed for easy access to traffic accident data.  It is capable of generating hundreds of collision diagrams in the time it would take a technician to generate one.  It therefore has a wide range of applications in any setting where officials are concerned with identifying correctable accident patterns.  IMW generates standard collision diagrams, and provides highlighting and customized selection (filtering) of user specified accident types.  For example, if left-turn accidents are of particular interest, the user can highlight these accidents on the screen and on the printout.  By selecting left-turn accidents in the filter, they will be the only type displayed.  As another example, all snow and ice related accidents could be removed from the diagram.

Intersection Magic can diagram individual intersections of particular interest, corridors of intersections along a primary street, or large numbers of collision diagrams for record keeping or statistical purposes.  Each graphic printout includes the collision diagram, area name, accident count, user-defined text, and the city name.

This allows easy identification of high accident locations and recurring accident patterns, particularly useful in safety and hazard elimination programs and for site specific review of proposed developments or geometric changes.  Operationally, IMW can be used to identify correctable traffic control and intersection lay-out problems.  IMW offers immediate access to accident information for quick response to citizen concerns by allowing access to intersection data and easy access to individual accident reports that may be in question.
