PROBLEM & MOTIVATION
Recent efforts by the Singapore Traffic Police in educating the public on road safety has decreased the number of Fatal Accidents in Singapore by 15.7% in 2017 as compared to 2016 (Chua, 2018). Despite the improvement, Singapore's road fatalities per 100,000 motor vehicles of 20.2 in 2015 is still relatively high as compared to countries, such as Japan, which has achieved a low 6.5 (World Health Organisation, 2015). Accidents involving motorcyclists and elderly jaywalkers were highlighted as key concerns by the Singapore Traffic Police as motorcycle accidents accounts for more than half of the traffic accidents in 2017 and number of elderly jaywalkers road fatalities are on the rise.
Therefore, our project aims to uncover various factors that correlates with road accidents and how preventive measures could be put into place by the respective authorities apart from educating the public on road safety.
OBJECTIVES
In our project, we would be creating a geovisualisation that is able to achieve the following objectives:
- Gain an overview of traffic accident hotspots
- Explore possible correlations with traffic accidents
- Identify zones which are more prone to accidents
- Recommend additional datasets that should be collected
