Study regarding to Traffic Accidents & Traffic Flow in Hong Kong
Dear Transport Department,
I am a master student and would like to obtain the data for academic purpose.
For now, I have in my hand a dataset from 2014/1/1 to 2019/12/7 with the dimensions of
(A) Accidents:
OBJECTID Year Serial_No_ Severity District_Council_District Hit_and_Run Weather Rain Natural_Light Junction_Control Road_Classification Vehicle_Movements Type_of_Collision No__of_Vehicles_Involved No__of_Casualties_Injured Grid_E Grid_N Date Time latitude longitude
(B) Casualties:
OBJECTID Year Serial_No_ Casualty_Age Casualty_Sex Degree_of_Injury Role_of_Casualty Location_of_Injury_Head Location_of_Injury_Upper_trunk Location_of_Injury_Lower_trunk Location_of_Injury_Arms Location_of_Injury_Legs Pedestrian_Action Vehicle_Class_of_Driver_or_Pass
And (C) involved vehicles data:
OBJECTID Year Serial_No_ Driver_Age Driver_Sex Year_of_Manufacture Severity_of_Accident Vehicle_Class
To enrich the dataset for further study, in which I would like to expand the study in the dimension of rate of accident, I would like to the information below:
a) The updated dataset to the date of 2024/12/31.
b) The recorded traffic flow by hour/day/road which allows me to compute the accident rate of specific road. I understand not every road in Hong Kong have such data, but I would like to obtain as much as possible.
The provided dataset shall be better in csv format.
Thank you so much.
Yours faithfully,
LUK YING HO
