Integrating Crash Datasets to Facilitate Traffic Safety Analyses DESCRIPTION:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud8peFqpjtU ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud8peFqpjtU )\n\nJonathan Pasternack1\nFaculty Mentor: Shashi Nambisan, Ph.D.2\n1Howard R.

Understanding key factors related to traffic crashes is critical to develop strategies to enhance road safety. Factors include attributes related to the crashes, persons and vehicles involved, and environmental conditions. These data are based on reports and records maintained by multiple agencies at the local, state, and national levels. Unfortunately, such data are not readily available in an integrated manner. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) consolidates and captures in a digital format crash reports filed by individual law enforcement officers and their agencies. NDOT’s database has separate subsets for attributes related to crashes, persons, and vehicles with a common field linking two of these three subsets. A consolidated database is required to perform the desired analyses. This presentation will summarize the steps needed to integrate the individual data subsets into one consolidated database using data obtained from NDOT for the years 2015 to 2019. It will demonstrate an automated procedure to develop the consolidated databases. Next, it will highlight the process to georeference data for individual crashes and link them to the crash attributes in a GIS environment. In addition, the presentation will touch upon challenges and issues related to integrating individual data sets and to incorporating them in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. Future work includes developing queries and conducting statistical analyses to answer hypotheses regarding similarities and differences in road safety outcomes based on spatial and temporal characteristics\n URL:https://oursymposium.sites.unlv.edu/program/integrating-crash-datasets-to-facilitate-traffic-safety-analyses/ ORGANIZER;CN=The Office of Undergraduate Research:MAILTO:our@unlv.edu CATEGORIES:Health & Natural Sciences & Engineering END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
