Local law enforcement and transportation agencies produce large volumes of traffic-related crash, citation, and arrest information. These data are critical when affecting decisions related to mass transit. TRASER was one of the earliest systems to provide access to this valuable information.

What is TRASER?

TRASER (TRAffic SERvices Microcomputer System) is a DOS-based system that allows an agency to store and retrieve traffic records information, whether in large or small quantities. TRASER manages traffic crash, citation, and traffic-related arrest records for analysis and reporting purposes for a single jurisdiction or for multiple cities and counties.

TRASER has proved itself effective for city, county, and state level enforcement departments; traffic engineering offices; and commercial fleet applications. TRASER can quickly produce accurate, vital statistics on crashes, citations, and traffic arrests, regardless of an agency's size. top

Reporting

TRASER can produce numerous reports which are useful for all types of traffic safety agencies in the form of lists, location cluster reports, frequency tables, bar charts, histograms, and proxy reports. top

System Requirements

TRASER was written for microcomputers using the MS-DOS operating system. Minimum computer requirements are as follows:

• 640K Random Access Memory
  
• 40-Megabyte hard disk storage device
  
• Color display (will support monochrome)
  
• Version 5.0 or later MS-DOS
  
• Printer capable of 132 characters per line

Support

TRASER software became available to public safety agencies beginning in 1987. Many agencies continue to use it today. While TRASER is no longer for sale, Data Nexus, Inc. continues to support those agencies.
