Previous Workshops
The Model Inventory of Roadway Elements (MIRE) is a listing of roadway inventory and traffic elements critical to safety management and proposes standardized coding for each. A list of proposed data elements with definitions and attributes has been developed.
FHWA is hosting a series of web conferences to present the proposed elements and receive input from safety professionals and roadway data inventory specialists in State and local highway agencies.
The MIRE elements were divided into three groups to address in three workshops: roadway segment and alignment variables, intersection-related variables, and interchange and ramp variables. Each workshop covered:
- Discussion of MIRE, its intended use, and expected benefits of adopting the MIRE.
- Open discussion of the elements, agencies’ current efforts to collect the data, and the challenges related to collecting specific elements.
The materials from the workshops can be downloaded from this page.
