This data has been consolidated from Victoria Police reports and Hospital injury information, then validated and enriched to provide a comprehensive and detailed view of road crashes and injuries across Victoria. The data provides users with information about Victorian fatal and injury road crash data based on time, location, conditions, crash type, road user type, and other relevant attributes.
Data Currency
This information will be updated on a monthly basis but with a 7 month lag in order to provide a comprehensive view of incidents during that time period.
Data Structure
The CSV data is split across multiple tables with attributes to facilitate joins between the information. This has been captured as part of the supporting documentation in the metadata. The tables and attributes include: - accident (basic accident details, time, severity, location) - person (person based details, age, gender etc) - vehicle (vehicle based data, vehicle type, make etc) - accident_event (sequence of events e.g. left road, rollover, caught fire) - road_surface_cond (whether road was wet, dry, icy etc) - atmospheric_cond (rain, winds etc) - sub_dca (detailed codes describing accident) - accident_node (master location table - NB subset of accident table) - Node Table with Lat/Long references
The GeoJSON dataset is a single flat file containing a subset of the attributes from the CSV files. It provides a single set of attributes for each road crash that has occurred within Victoria. Supporting documentation in the metadata will provide further details of the attributes.
