ACT Road Crash Reports with Severity and Location Details

Spatial road crash data from the Australian Capital Territory covers reported incidents from 2015 to 2025. Records originate from police or public reports submitted via the AFP Crash Report Form. The dataset includes details on crash severity, type, time, location, and environmental conditions.

Use Cases

• Predict CRASH_SEVERITY using features like LIGHTING_CONDITION, WEATHER_CONDITION, and ROAD_CONDITION.
• Analyze temporal patterns of crashes by aggregating incidents by CRASH_TIME and CRASH_DATE.
• Identify high-risk intersections for infrastructure improvement by clustering crashes flagged with INTERSECTION or MIDBLOCK attributes.
• Model geospatial crash density using LATITUDE and LONGITUDE coordinates across SUBURB_LOCATION areas.

Strengths

• Temporal coverage spans over a decade from 2015 to 2025.
• Contains over 20 distinct columns detailing crash circumstances, severity, and precise location.

Limitations

• Data completeness is limited to crashes reported via a specific form, excluding incidents reported through other channels.
• Spatial accuracy is noted as indicative, with points representing approximate intersection or midblock locations rather than exact crash coordinates.
• Unknown total row count prevents assessment of statistical power for rare event analysis.
