摘要: |
A prototype geographic information system (GIS) for the analysis of motor vehicle collisions in Honolulu, Hawaii, is described. An overview of GIS hardware and software is provided along with criteria utilized in the development of the Hawaii system. Mapping and spatial data sources relevant to traffic safety are described and evaluated. The usefulness of Census Bureau Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) files for spatial traffic safety analyses is highlighted. Spatial analyses and potential applications of this technology in traffic safety are also outlined. Recommendations for enhancing the uses of GIS in traffic safety are offered. |
