This new methodology will able to access to 
factual information quickly, allowing this 
data will be promptly to understand and 
ready to be appreciated. 
1.1: Localization area 
DETRAN purpose is: to develop methodolo- 
gy using equipment already done in the 
institution, with the intention of making it 
rational for better results in the research.

1.2 Studying area 
This project covers the whole area of the 
State of Parana, in a total with its 371 
municipal districts and 74 microregional 
traffic centers, and Curitiba, the capital of 
Parana's State, in particulary. (Fig. 2.)

The project itself has some objectives 
produced by the original idea: 
- collect georeference elements from traffic 
accidents on the mainly crossroads of 
Curitiba. 
- to give support for interinstitutional 
integration in order to create information for 
public establishment and state system of 
information 
- to do the first part for the beginning of the 
assistance of traffic planning by a 
monitoring in the most important cities of the 
Parana State 
- to give supply as a disseminator instrument 
for the rising of new technologies for the 
CIRETRANS; 
- to demonstrate and to show up the potential 
of to put into practice georeference program 
for people in general 
2 METHODS AND MATERIAL 
The project's purpose is the improvement of 
the whole State of Parana with strong 
equipment that will be capable to collect and 
give information by computers high tech 
already available and ready to be utilized in 
DETRAN and CIRETRANS. 
- The systematic research about traffic 
situation was being done =— using 
microcomputers joined to a master network, 
settled in DETRAN and CELEPAR - 
Parana Eletronic Database Company. 
The geographic information system 
developed by DETRAN intend to be the key 
opening chances to show the new work 
involving digital cartography and database 
acting together among several institutions of 
the Parana State government. 
a) The GIS developed by DETRAN has a 
distinguished character that means several 
possibilities of consulting to certain
