This is an interesting dataset -- too bad it's such a boring map.
Two ways it could be improved:
1. Allow filtering by year, by type of death.
2. Allow data to be compared (deaths by state, by type, by year) in a non-map based form.
I'm sure there are more...
- ImprovedSilence 15y agoAllow bringing icons on the bottom up to the top, there is too much overlap on multiple fatality accidents.
- jberryman 15y agosome sort of heatmap where number of deaths are normalized with respect to vehicle density (or I guess just population). That would give an idea of which states/regions/roads are more treacherous or have more dangerous drivers.
- dromidas 15y agoVehicle density is itself a cause of increased accidents. If you normalized by it you would lose accuracy. To make it more clear, 10 cars on the same road would increase the chance of an accident non-linearly. It would be more than 10x more likely to have an accident occur there simply because there is more chaos.
