The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Model Inventory of Roadways Elements (MIRE) provides a recommended listing and data dictionary of 202 roadway and traffic data elements critical to improving states’ safety management programs. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) adopted MIRE to strengthen the state’s current inventory and improve public safety through support of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The MIRE inventory also enables data-driven maintenance, operations, and financial decisions. A comprehensive MIRE dataset was developed that consisted of spatial and tabular data for approximately 6,500 roadway miles, 16,200 intersections, and 445 ramps.
