Abstract

Space-Time Analysis and Geoviz of Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes
Track: Highways and Roads
Authors: Peter Durkee

Geoviz is a powerful tool for data exploration of motor vehicle crash data. This presentation describes an effective method that combines exploratory space-time analysis and geoviz in a Space-Time Cube using five years of Texas crash data segmented by county. By combining geoviz methods, ArcGIS space-time tools, and other open-source tools, I present a method for enhanced understanding of when, where and why crashes occur by using 2D and 3D representations in a Space Time Cube framework.
