About
Road accident casualties, focusing on the severity of each incident. It is designed to support the analysis of traffic incidents to improve public safety and road management strategies. By examining factors that influence accident severity, this data can inform proactive safety measures, urban planning, and policy development. The information is crucial for identifying accident hotspots, understanding risk factors, and developing data-driven approaches to reduce road accidents.
Columns
- Accident_Severity: Categorises the outcome of the accident into three levels: 'Slight', 'Serious', or 'Fatal'.
Distribution
- Format: CSV
- File Name: accident_fatal.csv
- File Size: 4.7 MB
- Records: Contains approximately 661,000 valid records.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for predictive modelling, machine learning applications, and data storytelling focused on road safety. Researchers can use it for traffic incident analysis, hotspot identification, and exploring the impact of various factors like weather, road conditions, and driver behaviour on accident rates. It also serves as a valuable resource for urban planners aiming to incorporate safety considerations into city design.
Coverage
The dataset covers geographic and temporal aspects of road incidents, allowing for spatial and temporal analysis. It is intended for research into traffic incidents, including the impact of road infrastructure, vehicle types, and driver demographics on accident outcomes. The data is updated annually.
