Western Australia Road Incidents 2016-2019

Incidents impacting the Western Australia road network from 2016 to 2019, extracted from the Main Roads WA WebEOC incident management system. The dataset provides traffic management assistance records for emergencies affecting the State Road Network across eight regions.

Use Cases

• Analyze incident frequency and location patterns across the eight Main Roads WA regions for traffic management planning.
• Model temporal trends in road network emergencies using the 2016-2019 date range for risk assessment.
• Map incident impact zones using the provided geospatial file formats (GEOJSON, KML) for infrastructure resilience studies.

Strengths

• Data covers a four-year time range (2016-2019) for longitudinal analysis.
• Records originate from the official state incident management system (WebEOC), ensuring authoritative provenance.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, KML, GPKG) facilitating mapping and GIS integration.

Limitations

• Specific row count and column details are unknown, limiting pre-analysis assessment of dataset scale and structure.
• Data is temporally stale, with the last recorded events from 2019 and no indication of ongoing updates.
• Focus is limited to incidents impacting the immediate vicinity of a location, potentially omitting wider network effects.
