Use Cases

• Assess demographic disparities in fault assignment by modeling Bicycle At Fault or Motorcycle At Fault against Race of At Fault Person and Age of At Fault Person.
• Correlate enforcement actions by linking Citation Number to outcomes like Number Injured and Involved Injury.

Strengths

• 30 detailed columns per crash record, including demographic and contributing factors.
• Data includes geospatial Location Point for mapping analysis.
