[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source Road Safety Software

[Andy Turner]

Hi

In the UK there is centrally collated personal injury road accident data and this is made available via the UKDA. I have a web page that links to some of the data for Great Britain:
http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/data/Stats19/Stats19.html

Personal injury road accidents are only a fraction of all road accidents. I had hoped that there would be a single store of georeferenced data for all insurance claims by now, but I don't think there is.

Hello Simon,

I think it is possible to write an open source equivalent of this software, using e.g. PostGIS or SpatiaLite functionalities. But this is only half of the task.

In my experience, the most difficult part will be the collection of traffic and incident data. I have no experience with this, but maybe someone on the list can give a more informed answer.
