DOT - Momentum - Crash Reporting App - MRAS

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), in collaboration with the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to develop a mobile application aimed at enhancing crash data reporting. This initiative is spearheaded by the DOT's Volpe Center and the Office of International Transportation and Trade, focusing on creating a standardized tool that can be utilized across various jurisdictions globally. The primary goal is to streamline crash data collection processes, which currently vary significantly from one region to another, leading to incomplete and inconsistent datasets.

The project seeks expertise in designing and developing a high-performance, user-centric native application specifically for Android devices. The envisioned app will facilitate government users in collecting and organizing crash-related information efficiently. By leveraging common mobile device technology, the app aims to automate data collection processes, thereby improving both the quality and quantity of crash data available for analysis. This enhancement in data quality is expected to inform critical decisions regarding roadway safety improvements.

To achieve these objectives, the contractor must possess proven experience in Android application development, with a strong emphasis on mobile strategy for projects of similar size and scope. The app should integrate seamlessly with external data sources and possibly interact with specified content management systems, ensuring a comprehensive approach to crash data standardization across different countries working with the U.S. DOT.
