One of the results will be to produce data analysis and a map to identify gaps, disparities and patterns.
Alcohol related traffic fatalities are a significant public safety issue in Austin and we want to make sure that police resources are directed to areas where prevention can a difference.
Key Activities Check on VisionZeroATX (a possible partner) website constraints. Identify mapping and data visualization and data analysis software. Identify data sources. Collect and prepare data for ATX Hack for Change. Ensure a permanent data source. Publish map and analysis. Determine how APD already targets DWI enforcement.
Austin city limits extend into Williamson county and possibly others. I suggest incorporating that into the project.
Worth following this national project: http://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2016/03/11/data-science-for-safer-streets-datakind-vision-zero-project-expands-to-three-new-cities/
The idea has is roots in VisionZeroATX which I believe is part of the national network of Vision Zero cities.
Hey @seusilva, are you or any of your other team members interested in taking this project to the ATX Hack for Change June 3-5th? If so, all you need to do is submit your idea to the project proposal Github page. Good news is it asks for much of the same info y'all have already filled out here. @mention
me or shoot me an email if you have any questions at info@open-austin.org.
I looked at the DWI data from the Austin PD or 2015 and made a heat map of it. The worst cases are in the morning on Saturday when the buses do not run. https://durs.cartodb.com/viz/7a36ccca-3339-11e5-9a6f-0e43f3deba5a/public_map I would like to work on this project: Is there a slack channel?
No, there's no slack channel right now. Feel free to make one! This was one of those projects we developed as a design concept, and I don't think anyone held even a single work session for it, so no one else even dug up that DWI data in your map. I do still think DWIs are particularly useful to map, moreso than other crimes, so the idea of a crime map just for DWIs kind of makes sense.

For some TXDOT DWI information, Check out the presentation from TXDOT Vision Zero which has some data and statistics.

It would be nice if someone else could verify my data. I believe that there is new data out for the year 2016. It would be nice to see that the data for 2016 matched the data I had. Was there anything about there being better, more up to date information than the Austin data portal?
@durs125 do you have a github repository for the work you've done?
No, I have not put it together yet. I am not sure when I will have time for it. I have been so busy with my regular life lately.

no prob @durs125 !
@johndinning hey man Im gonna look into reviving this. I'll get in touch if I get anywhere.
@tom-montgomery awesome! Let me know what support you'd like
That's great @tom-montgomery! I'm gonna follow the thred and will help where I can.
I just added some steps y'all can take to the original post above to get you started. I also invited you both to join our Github team.
@werdnanoslen thanks, created the repo and started on data prep. i'll check out the steps you posted tomorrow.
awesome, go ahead and update/check the steps in the post as you complete them :)
created prototype maps for san antonio and the state (click left nav bar arrow for info) using arcgis and carto: State: https://tom-montgomery.carto.com/builder/3bb68e44-c461-47ba-beb2-483a5b37e067/embed San Antonio: https://tom-montgomery.carto.com/builder/57d7b3e1-37d5-4a17-a83f-2f2d727fca5a/embed
If anyone wants to work on improving it let me know
@tom-montgomery recently created a stellar Medium Article on the work done and at hand!
https://medium.com/open-austin/austin-crash-analytics-c0a94d0bc17e
Coming back here to Say @tom-montgomery did finish the Austin Map and also presented at GIS Day.
Here is the Austin map. https://tom-montgomery.carto.com/builder/dd690194-98e1-4d99-a497-fab8e56da040/embed
I think this project should be considered wrapped up, with any similar work continuing in #139, scrAPD.
What problem are we trying to solve?
We want to know if the police are making DWI arrests in areas where they are needed.
Who will benefit (directly and indirectly) from this project?
The visualization will provide insight for the police and policy makers. Alcohol related traffic fatalities are a significant public safety issue in Austin and we want to make sure that police resources are directed to areas where prevention can a difference.
Where can we find any research/data available/articles?
Austin Planning and Zoning Department: Vision Zero
What help is needed at this time?
Person with spatial analysis skillset Pandas or agate (python) for statistics? Georeferencing tool and skillset to fit arrest and crash sites into regions Probably Leaflet for mapping Marketing help
What are the next steps (validation, research, coding, design)?
?
