Proposal

Traffic Collisions in Los Angeles

Our project seeks to uncover patterns among traffic accidents in Los Angeles (North Hollywood), utilizing traffic collision data provided by the LAPD.

Our mission is to provide:

1. Collision frequency per location,
2. Collision analytics for holidays
3. Collision type analytics

We will present statistics, charts, maps to illustrate our results.

Our study may be useful to city officials, planners, and engineers to design and implement infrastructural changes to reduce or eliminate future accidents.
