| dc.description.abstract | This paper uses GIS to analyze the characteristics of temporal and spatial distributions of motor vehicle crashes. These characteristics include that traffic accidents are most likely to occur in the afternoon "rush hour" (4:00 - 6:00PM), but not in the morning (6:00 - 8:00AM), and that crashes occur more frequently at some specific locations. Moreover, the paper shows the relationship between vehicle type (passenger car, sport utility vehicle, pickup truck) and severity (incapacitating injury, nonincapacitating injury, possible injury, fatal injury, and non-injury) of crashes as well. The study area for this study is in Dallas, Texas. All the crashes in this data set occurred on the state highway system of Dallas in 1999. The dataset includes the location of vehicle crash, and attributes of crash location, crash itself, vehicle, and driver. | en |
