Topic - Analysis of Traffic Accident Data
The theme of this project is to analyze traffic accident data. We will use graphical methods to show how different weather conditions, road types, and other related factors affect the severity of accidents and the number of casualties.
The specific visualizations will include:
- Distribution of Accident Severity Under Different Weather Conditions
- The Relationship Between weather and Accident Severity
- Relationship Between Accident Occurrence Time and Accident Severity
- The Relationship Between Accident Casualties Accident Severity
- Density Distribution of Accident Injuries by Vehicle Type and Weather Conditions
- Total number of casualties per month from 2015 to 2017
- Cumulative Number of Vehicles and Casualties by Road Type
- Monthly Transport Accidents by Weather Conditions
Description of the Data
Key Features:
1,000 records covering accident
cases across different locations. Geospatial data (latitude, longitude)
for mapping accident locations. Weather and road conditions to analyze
external factors affecting accidents. Vehicle involvement &
casualties data for severity assessment. Traffic rule violations (e.g.,
alcohol involvement, traffic signals).
Possible Use
Cases:
- Road safety analysis
- Accident severity
prediction
- Data visualization for policy recommendations
Ideas about the figures that you will create to visualize this data
Figure 01 - Distribution of Accident Severity Under Different Weather Conditions
Insight
1. 81% of accidents occur in non-clear weather
conditions.
2. Rainy weather accounts for the highest
proportion of accidents, mainly due to low visibility and slippery road
conditions.
Figure 02 - The Relationship Between Speed Limits and Accident Severity
Insight
Adverse weather conditions significantly
increase the severity of traffic accidents. he proportion of severe
injuries and fatal accidents is often higher on rainy and snowy days
compared to clear days.
Figure 03 - Relationship Between Accident Occurrence Time and Accident Severity
Insight
1. According to the data, the frequency of
fatal accidents is higher during specific time periods (such as morning
and evening rush hours). Additionally, the severity of accidents (e.g.,
number of casualties or accident level) fluctuates significantly during
these times.
2.The data indicates that the severity of
accidents is higher during morning and evening rush hours. This may be
due to increased traffic volume and driver fatigue during these
periods.
