Virginia State Police Crash Analysis Dashboard

The Virginia State Police Crash Analysis Dashboard was developed by the Center for Geospatial Information Technology (CGIT) in partnership with the Virginia State Police (VSP). This secure, interactive platform provides law enforcement and policymakers with powerful tools to explore and analyze crash data across the Commonwealth. By transforming raw records into visual insights, the dashboard enables agencies to identify high-risk areas, monitor safety trends, and evaluate the impact of policy and infrastructure decisions. 

Purpose and Capabilities

The Crash Analysis Dashboard serves as a central access point for analyzing statewide crash information drawn from multiple trusted data sources, including the Traffic Records Electronic Data System (TREDS) and the DMV Vehicle Crash Geolocation Project. Users can visualize crash patterns over time and geography, examine contributing factors, and generate tailored reports that support evidence-based strategies for improving roadway safety.

Key Features

• Interactive Mapping: Real-time visualization of crash data by location, severity, and contributing factor.

• Integrated Datasets: Combines verified geolocation and roadway data from VDOT, VGIN, and DMV systems.

• Secure Architecture: Built with role-based access, data-protection measures, and scalable infrastructure.

• Analytical Reporting: Offers filtering, statistical summaries, and exportable analytics for operational and strategic use.

• Cross-Agency Collaboration: Enhances coordination between state safety offices, planners, and law-enforcement agencies.

Impact

The Crash Analysis Dashboard represents a major step forward in Virginia’s transportation safety strategy. By replacing fragmented crash-reporting workflows with a unified, data-driven platform, VSP and CGIT have enabled faster analysis, stronger inter-agency coordination, and more informed decision-making. The system’s design supports future enhancements such as predictive modeling and AI-assisted trend detection — advancing the Commonwealth’s ability to prevent crashes and save lives.

CGIT’s Role

CGIT designed, implemented, and maintains the dashboard’s full technical architecture, from geospatial data pipelines to front-end analytics. The team’s expertise in geospatial data integration, system automation, and secure web development ensures that complex information is presented in an accessible, reliable, and actionable format.
