Annual Collision Report: Severity by Road User and Location

A dataset from data.edmonton.ca, last updated on 2024-09-24, detailing traffic collision severity. It likely contains metrics for fatalities and injuries, broken down by road user type and collision location. The data originates from a centralized collision reporting process launched in Edmonton in September 2022.

Use Cases

• Compare injury rates at intersections versus midblocks using INJURIES: INTERSECTION PERCENT and INJURIES: MIDBLOCK PERCENT.
• Analyze the distribution of injury severity among different road users using columns like SERIOUS INJURIES: PEDESTRIAN and MINOR INJURIES: BICYCLIST.
• Calculate per-capita collision metrics for population risk assessment using Injuries per 1,000 Population and Collisions per 1,000 Population.
• Model the relationship between collision type and outcome using Property Damage Only (PDO) Collisions, SERIOUS INJURY COLLISIONS, and MINOR INJURY COLLISIONS.

Strengths

• Provides normalized per-capita metrics like Injuries per 1,000 Population for comparative analysis.
• Offers detailed breakdowns by road user type (e.g., pedestrian, bicyclist, motorcyclist) and location (intersection vs. midblock).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
