Abstract EN
Between 2005 and 2007 there were 9071 traffic accidents involving bicycles within London and this paper demonstrates the utility of Geographic Information Systems as a tool for analysing and visualising these occurrences.
Through linkage of these spatial locations to a street network dataset it was possible to create a variety of intelligence about the types of street infrastructure where accidents predominantly occur.
Additionally, a network routing algorithm was adapted to account for the frequency of accidents within a series of proposed journeys.
This pilot routing application compared the quickest route with an accident avoidance weighted route between a series of origins and destinations.
The results demonstrated that the routes avoiding areas of high accident volume did not increase journey length significantly; however they did provide a “safer” route based on empirical evidence over the volume of accident locations.
