Calgary Traffic Incident Reports with Geospatial Coordinates

An unofficial archive of traffic incidents within Calgary, including disruptions like signal issues, road conditions, and stalled vehicles. The data is sourced from unrecorded traffic camera imagery and is provided by data.calgary.ca. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze incident frequency by Ward Boundaries or Calgary Communities for resource allocation.
• Model spatial patterns of incidents using Longitude and Latitude coordinates.
• Correlate incident types from DESCRIPTION with temporal features like START_DT and MODIFIED_DT.
• Assess traffic disruption severity by analyzing Count and INCIDENT INFO fields.
• Segment incident data by geographic areas using QUADRANT or City Quadrants for regional reporting.

Strengths

• Includes precise geospatial coordinates (Longitude, Latitude) for mapping.
• Contains multiple temporal columns (START_DT, MODIFIED_DT) for trend analysis.
• Categorizes incidents by administrative boundaries (Ward Boundaries, Calgary Communities).

Limitations

• Data completeness is uncertain due to potential gaps from system or script malfunctions.
• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting statistical reliability.
• Data is unofficial and derived from unrecorded imagery, which may introduce reporting bias.
