About the research

The objective of this project was to develop and implement techniques to effectively convey winter weather crash trends, identify potentially hazardous locations, and discover possible common factors among winter weather crashes. This work generally involved two sets of skills: (1) the ability to access, analyze, and graphically and numerically present statistics from Iowa’s crash database and (2) the ability to interpret the meaning of crash events and understand and interpret crash trends.
