Safety-Data presents data on road accidents in Israel. The site analysis focus on casualties in severe and fatal accidents, in accordance to Vision Zero.
The site offers a variety of options to filter, group and display the data in different formats, in the hope that this will improve research, policy and education on accidents prevention. It is a tool for city planners, safety experts, researchers and more.
With Safety-Data you can check:
- What is the gender difference in different kind of vehicle?
- In what places are car drivers injured? what are the common accidents in the urban area and how it is diffrent from rural accidents.
- What types of fatal accidents are most common for motorcyclists in cities? or many young motorcyclists were killed, compared to older motorcyclists?
- How many pedestrians were hit Jerusalem? what are the most denageros streets for pedestrians there?
- what are the "red roads"?
- Compare the number of fatalities in 2 or more cities.
- Find the top 10 cities where most severe accidents happened.
- What percent of pedestrians where hit at daytime compare to nighttime?
Tipical use case is filter cases by categories of when, where, who, road - types etc. for exmaple see all fatal accidnets in tel-aviv. then you can serach patterns in the data using one or 2 grouping options - for example group the results by age. you can find more patterns by looking on the reuslts in a map or in a table. you can also copy the resutls to tables for more analysis.
