Context The UK government amassed traffic data from 2000 and 2018, recording over 1.8 million accidents in the process and making this one of the most comprehensive traffic data sets out there. It's a huge picture of a country undergoing change.

Content There is 1 CSV File in this set. Accidents are the primary ones and have references by Accident_Index to the casualties and vehicles tables. This might be better done as a database.

Description This Dataset contains 33 Features covering over a 1.8million records. this dataset consists of various features like, Accidental / Longitude: Location of Accident

Inspiration Questions to ask about this data are, - What is the number of casualties on each day of the week? - On each day of the week, what is the maximum and minimum speed limit on the roads the accidents happened? - What is the importance of Light and Weather conditions in predicting accident severity? - What does your intuition say and what does the data portray? - To predict the severity of the accidents.

These files provide detailed road safety data about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents in GB from 1979, the types of vehicles involved and the consequential casualties. The statistics relate only to personal injury accidents on public roads that are reported to the police, and subsequently recorded, using the STATS19 accident reporting form.

There has been an increasing demand for more up to date information on reported road accidents to be made available to the public, stakeholders and researchers. As a result, the Department for Transport made a dataset covering accidents for the first and second quarters of 2018 in Great Britain available for the first time on data.gov.uk. The data released was an un-validated subset and has been superseded by the full accident dataset for 2018, released after validation for the full year.

All the data variables are coded rather than containing textual strings. The lookup tables are available in the "Additional resources" section towards the bottom of the table.

Please note that the 2015 data were revised on the 29th September 2016. Accident, Vehicle and Casualty data for 2005 - 2009 are available in the time series files under 2014. Data for 1979 - 2004 are available as a single download under 2004 below.

Also includes: Results of breath-test screening data from recently introduced digital breath testing devices, as provided by Police Authorities in England and Wales Results of blood alcohol levels (milligrams / 100 millilitres of blood) provided by matching coroners’ data (provided by Coroners in England and Wales and by Procurators Fiscal in Scotland) with fatality data from the STATS19 police data of road accidents in Great Britain. For cases when the Blood Alcohol Levels for a fatality are "unknown" are a consequence of an unsuccessful match between the two data sets.

📄 Dataset Overview

This dataset contains detailed records of road traffic accidents across multiple districts in the UK, including areas such as Southend-on-Sea, Uttlesford, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Epping Forest, and more.

It includes approximately 300,000 rows of incidents, each capturing environmental, vehicular, and road-related conditions at the time of the accident.

This data is ideal for projects involving accident severity analysis, geospatial visualization, urban planning, and road safety research.

📊 Use Cases

• Traffic accident severity prediction
• District-level accident comparison
• Geospatial accident heatmaps
• Road condition vs. accident analysis
• Time-of-day or weather-related traffic impact studies

Road Safety Statistics releases and guidance about the data collection. Collision analysis tool for bespoke breakdowns of our data. STATS19 R package developed independently of DfT, offering an alternative way to access this data for those familiar with the R language. Latest data Provisional data for the first 6 months of 2024 published 28 November 2024. These are provisional un-validated data. Data included These files provide detailed road safety data about the circumstances of personal injury road collisions in Great Britain from 1979, the types of vehicles involved and the consequential casualties. The statistics relate only to personal injury collisions on public roads that are reported to the police, and subsequently recorded, using the STATS19 collision reporting form. This data contains all the non-sensitive fields that can be made public. Sensitive data fields, for example contributory factors data, can be requested by completing the sensitive data form and contacting the road safety statistics team at roadacc.stats@dft.gov.uk All the data variables are coded rather than containing textual strings. The lookup tables are available in the supporting documents section towards the bottom of the table. Data relating to the casualty and collision severity adjustment to account for changes in police reporting of severity is provided in separate files and can be joined using the appropriate record identifiers. Timing of data release Final annual data is released annually in late September following the publication of the annual reported road casualties Great Britain statistical publication. Individual years data is available for each of the last 5 years, with earlier years available as part of a single download. In addition, un-validated provisional mid-year data (covering January to June) is released at end November, to provide more up to date information Data revisions Except for the severity adjustments, data are not routinely revised those occasionally minor amendments to previous years can be made. Details of recent revisions are available, together with a request for any feedback on the approach to revising the data. The files published here represent the latest data.

Data about reported road accidents, produced by Department for Transport.

Includes:

Reported personal injury road accidents (Excel data tables) Accidents by severity since 1979 Accidents by type of accident Accidents by number of casualties and vehicles involved Accidents by region, local authority and parliamentary constituency

A share of ** percent of all road accidents in Great Britain were caused by the driver or rider not looking properly. Following, other important causes of road accidents were failure to judge another person's path or speed, and careless driving. However, exceeding the speed limit was the leading factor to only ***** percent of the road accidents in Great Britain.

National Collision Database (NCDB) – a database containing all police-reported motor vehicle collisions on public roads in Canada. Selected variables (data elements) relating to fatal and injury collisions for the collisions from 1999 to the most recent available data.

Annual road casualty statistics are published twice each year. Main results are published in June for the first release of key statistics, and the annual report is released in September for detailed data and analyses. Most of the statistics are based on road accidents reported to the police (Stats19). These provide detailed statistics about personal injury road accidents, vehicles and casualties involved.

Information on accidents casualites across Calderdale. Data includes location, number of people and vehicles involved, road surface, weather conditions and severity of any casualties.

Please note

• The Eastings and Northings are generated at the roadside where the accident occurred. Sometimes due to poor internet connectivity this data is may not be as accurate as it could be. If you notice any errors please contact accident.studies@leeds.gov.uk.

Due to the format of the report a number of figures in the columns are repeated, these are:

• Reference Number
• Easting
• Northing
• Number of Vehicles
• Accident Date
• Time (24hr)
• 1st Road Class
• Road Surface
• Lighting Conditions

Looking at the number of vehicles involved in reported road accidents in Great Britain in 2020, some ****** cars were involved in accidents while commuting, while ***** accidents were recorded for cars taking pupils to school.

Fatal accidents and casualties were significantly more expensive than either serious or slight accidents in the United Kingdom in 2020. That year, on average, a fatal accident resulted in over almost ********* British pounds of prevention costs. The cost of slight accidents was substantially lower, but not insignificant, reaching some ****** Great British pounds. Driver’s error most common factorThe most common cause for any type of accident was a driver’s reaction error, with incidents caused by actions such as sudden braking or swerving, where a police officer had to attend a scene. Of these, a driver or rider failing to look properly was the most frequent cause of an accident. Road accident total costs increase in 2018Total prevention costs from reported road accidents amounted to **** billion British pounds in 2018. Between 2010 and 2018, figures had grown by approximately * percent, while the lowest figure had been recorded in 2013. The number of car drivers involved in road accidents in Great Britain is on the decline.
