The Traffic Engineering Accident Analysis System (TEAAS) contains information on all traffic crashes occurring in North Carolina. TEAAS is a software system downloadable from the internet and is available free of charge to state government personnel, municipalities, law enforcement agencies, planning organizations, and research entities. This training spans two consecutive days and provides an overview of crash data, routes and features, road codes, mileposting, traffic volumes, severity, intersection and strip studies, analysis techniques, and ordinances. A basic understanding of Excel (opening text files, sorting data, inserting cells, deleting rows, etc.) is desirable, but not required, for this class.

Mileposting is the process of determining the location of features on a road, in miles, from the beginning of the road, and is a fundamental requirement of the Traffic Engineering and Accident Analysis System (TEAAS) necessary for crash studies and analyses, crash rates, and ordinance overlap checks. Mileposts are based on information in NCDOT's Universe File (MLI1) maintained by the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Unit, and are used to determine where crashes occurred, or where ordinances are located, in relation to roadway features. Features requiring mileposts are intersections and interchanges, at-grade railroad crossings, mile markers, structures (that carry the road), and political boundaries (municipal, county, and state lines).
