Cambridge Motor Vehicle Crash Log With Pedestrian And Cyclist Counts

Crash logs reported to the City of Cambridge involving motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Data are updated most days by the Cambridge Police Department. The dataset includes fields for the number of involved motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, and injured individuals.

Use Cases

• Analyze crash frequency by Neighborhood (estimated) and time of day using Date Time.
• Model the relationship between Number of Injured Individuals and crash type inferred from Number of Motorists, Cyclists, and Pedestrians.
• Identify high-risk intersections for targeted interventions by cross-referencing Intersection Street One and Intersection Street Two.
• Estimate resource allocation for emergency services based on historical Hospitalizations (estimated) trends.

Strengths

• Includes counts for multiple road user types (motorists, cyclists, pedestrians).
• Provides estimated neighborhood and hospitalization data for contextual analysis.
• Updated frequently, with daily updates noted.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting statistical power assessment.
• Key fields like Neighborhood and Hospitalizations are estimates, not precise measurements.
• Data anonymization may omit details useful for in-depth case studies.
