RSS431 Capita Symonds’ innovations team has won a contract to supply its web based road traffic accident analysis system (CIRTAS) to the Traffic and Accident Data Unit (TADU) at Tyne and Wear Council in the UK. The contract covers the Tyne and Wear five partner districts - the metropolitan boroughs of South Tyneside, North Tyneside, City of Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and the City of Sunderland.

Working in partnership with TADU, Capita Symonds is delivering a web based system which will enable centralising of data, improved accident analysis and access from across the partner authorities. Previously data was held within each district systems which meant that data management and analysis was difficult. Implementation of a web based system will result in greater consistency and more efficient ways of working.
