Grants and Contracts Details
Description
Improving data quality has long been a goal of the ITD and PRISM programs. While FMCSA and state DOTs have directed substantial resources at addressing problems, a multitude of data quality issues persist. Kentucky has found that data quality initiatives should be incorporated to our daily routines. Recently changes were made to Kentucky’s CVIEW so that users can report data quality issues while they are using the system. The data that is collected will need to be reviewed and utilized on a daily basis to keep Kentucky’s data at the highest quality. This project will serve to enhance Kentucky’s CVIEW, maintain and improve data uploads, and assist with the reporting of performance metrics.
Kentucky Transportation Center researchers have initiated several data quality projects over the last couple of years. Currently, it is putting together documentation of data quality initiatives undertaken as a result of previous ITD grant awards. Researchers and officials at KTC and KYTC are engaged in the investigation of data quality issues on a daily basis. They look at records in Kentucky’s CVIEW, KSP-CVE’s inspection software application application, the Observation System, the Motor Carrier portal, and other systems referenced in Kentucky’s current ITD system architecture.
Previous data quality initiatives have focused on IFTA, IRP, UCR, and PRISM data. This effort will focus on all types of data. Researchers will continue to monitor the Kentucky Automated Truck Screening (KATS) system, KSP-CVE inspection software, and CVIEW to identify data quality issues. Kentucky will work with FMCSA and other state organizations as needed to address these issues.
