Every year many lives are either lost or life changing injuries are experienced that could have been prevented while driving on the U.S. roadways. With the use of the General Estimates System database from police reported vehicle crashes an analysis will be conducted to find out which location in the United States is the most dangerous to drive and what factors are causing these accidents to occur. Once these factors are identified additional findings could provide a greater understanding on how to prevent these situations from occurring, which will save lives.
This research project will answer questions about which state and area is prone to accidents and what are the contributing factors of these crashes. The GES will be used to conduct a statistical analysis on the maximum injury severity variable and other associated variables in the dataset, over time. A geospatial map and charts will be used with the GES datasets.
