Project Title: Car Safety in Missouri

Final Files to Look At: Project 1.pdf Analysis Folder

Talking points in: image.png

Description: Looking at the comparisons of safety reports of various vehicle crash fatalities and injuries. Key factors: Age (Young vs. Mature), Alcohol Involvement, Speed, Motorcycle

Hypothesis: H0 = There is no change in vehicle safety through the years. H1 = Vehicle safety has improved through the years. H2 = Vehicle safety has gotten worse through the years.

Data: Car Safety Data Missouri Highway State Patrol http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/SAC/crash_data_960grid.html Unused- IIHS API - https://api.iihs.org/ - did not work NHTSA API - https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api - little documentation https://webapi.nhtsa.gov/Default.aspx?SafetyRatings/API/5

Initial Questions: What factors make the most dangerous driver? How do autonomous cars compare? How does driver education affect crash/safety data?

Techniques and Tools: Python, Pandas, JSON, Matplotlib

Data Shortcomings: Available Data Is there a standardized safety measurement standard? Simulated vs Actual crashes comparison Speed Limit and infrastructure factors Manual vs Automatic Age limitations
