The project then explored the practicalities of applying the identified geospatial techniques to real-world data from the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Two common methods of applying geospatial analyses to crash data were identified, along with their advantages and disadvantages. An example of the practicalities of applying these methods to the ACT is presented, which includes details of how to adapt geospatial methods when data is not available in the necessary format. Geospatial analyses are shown to be powerful tools for road safety for identifying and prioritising locations of interest in large and complex road networks. However, to make use of the full potential of geospatial analyses, data must be made available in suitable formats. | | Conference Name | 2022 Australasian Road Safety Conference | | Conference Abbreviation | ARSC22 | | Conference Location | Christchurch, New Zealand | | Conference Date | 28-30 September 2022 |
