Resumen
Descripción
TrafficSTATS (www.traffic-stats.us) is a publicly-available, interactive, web-based query tool that
provides estimates of passenger vehicle and other traffic safety risks. Using “cube” database
technology, TrafficSTATS houses publicly-available government data on traffic fatalities from
the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and personal travel behavior from the National
Household Travel Survey (NHTS) and calculates risk statistics in real time for user-specified queries.
We describe the motivation for developing the tool, explain the technology developed to store the
data and facilitate the queries, and provide a series of examples of the types of comparisons that can
be made quickly and efficiently.
