Abstract The data files received from the state of Michigan represent perhaps the largest number of data files received from any of the states participating in the HSIS development process. The entire Michigan transportation data and file merging system, referred to as the Michigan Traffic Records System, was upgraded and expanded in the late 1980's and early 1990's. A new accident report form and system was instituted in 1992. (All records data will be converted to an Oracle system in 1999, and a new crash report form will be in use starting in 2000.) Some of these Michigan files continue to be incomplete at this time. However, because they are already formatted and contain data, they are being included in the HSIS system with the view of looking to inclusion of additional data in the future. It is noted that Michigan is particularly unique in having a Guardrail Inventory File that provides information on roadside hardware for some of the earlier HSIS years.
