Traffic Accident Reports for Fusagasugá Municipality

Fusagasugá municipality's traffic accident records from 2019 onward, compiled by the local Mobility Secretariat. The dataset includes details on accident severity, vehicle types, and involved parties based on official police reports (IPAT). It provides geospatial coordinates for mapping incident locations.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of accidents using the 'Barrio', 'Comuna', 'Corregimiento', 'Latitud', and 'Longitud' columns.
• Model accident severity ('Gravedad') based on factors like vehicle class ('Clase de Vehículo 1'), time ('Hora', 'Mes'), and driver condition ('Embriaguez').
• Investigate collision types ('Clase de Accidente', 'Choque Con') and contributing hypotheses ('Hipótesis') to identify common accident scenarios.
• Assess risks associated with specific vehicle types, such as motorcycles ('Motocicleta'), by cross-referencing with injury severity ('Grado', 'Gravedad Conductor').

Strengths

• Contains 27 distinct columns detailing accident circumstances, vehicle information, and outcomes.
• Includes geospatial coordinates ('Latitud', 'Longitud') for precise location mapping.
• Temporal coverage spans multiple years, starting from 2019.

Limitations

• The total number of accident records (rows) is unknown, preventing assessment of statistical significance.
• Data completeness and potential reporting biases for specific neighborhoods ('Barrio') are unverified.
• The update frequency and recency of data within the 2019+ range are unspecified.
