3.3: Technology
Deploy New Information Technology Other Information:
We will use IT to facilitate our work and enhance the quality of our analysis. Responding to the needs of our investigative
offices, we will develop a prioritized list of IT initiatives and pursue them with the help of in-house staff and outside
contractors. Within the next 5 years, handheld devices could streamline the collection of crash data in the field. Data from
handheld units could be used to auto-populate reports and forms, eliminating manual processes and freeing investigator hours.
Automated analysis of massive volumes of accident information–data mining–could significantly enhance our ability to identify
transportation accident trends, allowing the NTSB to be more active in defining key safety issues.
