Staten Island, NY - Traffic & Accident Data Analysis

Motivation

I have lived in Staten Island, NY my entire life. Every year it seems that there are more and more people on the road, which causes more traffic and longer times traveling to work. With more traffic on the road, and longer commuting times, people become more frustrated and are more likely to have an accident.

Analysis

  • Pull traffic and accident data from NYC opendata sources
  • Tidy/clean data
  • Visualize data
  • Analyze data
