Crash Report Conversion Software

Years of paper crash reports.
Cleared in days, not keyed in by hand.

Crash Converter is a service that turns scanned, handwritten, and typed crash reports into structured, MMUCC-compliant data, automatically. It processes 30 reports an hour where a person can typically do three, and feeds the crash system you already run.

The Proof

A person enters about 3 an hour. Crash Converter does 30.

The backlog isn't a staffing problem you can hire your way out of — it's a throughput problem. Here's the difference that makes.

30 / hr
vs. 3 reports/hour by hand
About 10× the throughput of manual data entry, running continuously.
14 days
to clear a 10,000-report backlog
The same backlog takes roughly 417 days to key in by hand.
90%+
location accuracy on legacy SWITRS
Crash GeoLocator recovers usable locations from old records others discard.

Throughput figures are typical results and vary with form complexity and validation rules. Low-confidence records are routed to human reviewers — your team stays the final authority.

Field Result · Tulare County, CA

23,000 SWITRS records, pre-analyzed.

For Tulare County, ITIS pre-analyzed 23,000 SWITRS crash records. 81% already had usable locations — and the remaining 19% were recoverable with Crash GeoLocator, instead of being written off as unmappable.

How It Works

Four steps. No workflow change.

01

Send us the reports.

Securely transfer scanned PDFs, typed forms, handwritten forms, or images (PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF). Every submission gets a unique ID and metadata record.

02

AI extracts the data.

Containerized AI trained specifically on crash forms — not generic documents — classifies each form and pulls the field data.

03

It validates to MMUCC.

Every record is checked against MMUCC and your state schema. Anything low-confidence is flagged for human review through a secure web interface.

04

You get clean data.

Validated records delivered to your repository or warehouse, or exported as XML, JSON, CSV, or Parquet.

Compatibility

We don't replace your crash system. We feed it.

Crash Converter is the ingestion layer that sits upstream of whatever you already run. The structured data it produces flows into your existing crash management and analytics systems — or your own data warehouse. Nothing to rip out, nothing to displace. You get cleaner data, faster, into the system your team already knows.

Output formats: XML · JSON · CSV · Parquet — your data, no lock-in.
Secure by Design

Built for state and federal audit scrutiny.

Proprietary models — not public AI.

Our OCR models are proprietary, trained on crash-form data, and not publicly available. Your crash data is never sent to a public AI service.

Secure cloud processing.

All processing occurs within a secure cloud-hosted environment with certificate-based access and vaulted secrets — no loose passwords.

PII controlled end to end.

Personally identifiable information is classified and tagged throughout the pipeline to support masking, retention, lineage tracking, and state privacy and audit rules.

You stay the final authority.

Low-confidence and rule-inconsistent records route to your reviewers. Reviewer feedback continually improves the model — but no record clears without meeting your threshold.

Who It's For

Built for the agencies that own the crash report.

State DOTs & Traffic Records Offices

You run the statewide crash repository and you're hand-keying paper submitted by local agencies. Clear the backlog, automate ongoing intake, and walk into the next NHTSA Traffic Records Assessment with current, MMUCC-validated data.

Counties & Public Works

A backlog of paper reports, no dedicated data-entry staff, and an HSIP or Safe System commitment that needs analysis-ready crash data. Convert it without hiring.

Records Managers & Traffic Records Directors

Clear the backlog, relieve FTE pressure, and produce timely, MMUCC-compliant data your grant evaluation reporting depends on.

MPOs & Vision Zero Cities

You aggregate crash data across member agencies submitting in mixed formats. Standardize it once, for everyone — so your action plan and public dashboard are credible.

Common Questions

What buyers ask first.

Our crash forms are handwritten — OCR can't read those.

That's exactly why there's a confidence threshold and a human review queue. The clean majority is processed automatically; messy or ambiguous records are flagged for your reviewers. You use AI to handle the easy volume so your experts only touch the hard cases.

We already have a crash management system.

Good — keep it. Crash Converter feeds it. The bottleneck isn't your database; it's getting messy paper into it as clean, validated records. We're the layer that does that, upstream of whatever you run.

Our IT team could build this with off-the-shelf OCR.

General OCR reads text. It does not understand MMUCC fields, state-specific form layouts, crash-domain validation, or a human review workflow — and it isn't trained on crash forms. Building that is a 12–18 month engineering project most agencies don't have the staff for. This is production-ready now.

Will our security team approve AI on crash data?

The models are proprietary and not public — your data never goes to a public AI service. Processing is in a secure cloud environment with certificate-based access and vaulted secrets, and PII is classified and tagged for masking, retention, and lineage. We provide documentation for your security review.

Is this an eligible grant expense?

Data infrastructure that directly supports safety analysis, action planning, and evaluation is generally eligible under programs like SS4A and HSIP. Verify with your grant administrator — we'll provide budget-justification language tied to your evaluation strategy.
