The dataset we plan to implement has been obtained from NYC Open Data. It is a comprehensive dataset with 29 columns and 1.8 million data rows. The link to the dataset is Motor Vehicle Collisions.
This Motor Vehicle Collisions crash table contains details on the crash event. The Motor Vehicle Collisions data tables has every row describing a motor vehicle collision and it contains information from all police reported motor vehicle collisions in NYC.
Note - A police report MV104-AN is required to be filled out for collisions where someone is injured or killed, or where there is at least $1000 worth of damage can be checked here.
Through this project, we would like to answer the following questions with Exploratory Data Analysis and Visualization:
- What time slots see the most accidents? Medical Services and the NYPD could be more vigilant at this time.
- Which months see the most number of accidents
- What days see the most number of accidents?
- Which localities are the most accident prone?
- How do the boroughs with the most and least accidents compare?
- Can we observe the zip codes with the most accidents on a map?
- What does the accident density over NY look like?
- What are leading contributors to accidents in accident-prone areas? Also, which of these factors would lead to the most fatal accidents?
- What vehicle types are involved in the maximum number of fatal accidents?
- Which neighborhoods have improved or deteriorated the most?
We hope that such visualizations would help draw inferences that could help reduce the collisions on road.
