stats19

Tools to help download, process and analyse the UK road collision data collected using the 'STATS19' form. The datasets are provided as 'CSV' files with detailed road safety information about the circumstances of car crashes and other incidents on the roads resulting in casualties in Great Britain from 1979 to present. Tables are available on 'colissions' with the circumstances (e.g. speed limit of road), information about 'vehicles' involved (e.g. type of vehicle), and 'casualties' (e.g. age). The statistics relate only to events on public roads that were reported to the police, and subsequently recorded, using the 'STATS19' collision reporting form. See the Department for Transport website https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/cb7ae6f0-4be6-4935-9277-47e5ce24a11f/road-accidents-safety-data for more information on these datasets. The package is described in a paper in the Journal of Open Source Software (Lovelace et al. 2019) doi:10.21105/joss.01181. See Gilardi et al. (2022) doi:10.1111/rssa.12823, Vidal-Tortosa et al. (2021) doi:10.1016/j.jth.2021.101291, and Tait et al. (2023) doi:10.1016/j.aap.2022.106895 for examples of how the data can be used for methodological and empirical road safety research.
