Jeff, I appreciate this perspective and the resource. I have run some heat maps based upon straight one to one density as well as on the 1-5 weighting and I am interested in doing something for comparison based on what you mentioned. I have looked over the documentation link you provided and am trying to ascertain what the remaining KABCO weights might be numerically and basis for the quoted "230 time" factor for fatalities you mentioned. Can you cite a specific table or page in the document? Thanks in advance ... View more

<chuckle> and by the way...this is my first application of my college degree and in an intern capacity so, I am open to whatever directions any might wish to point me in. ... View more

Scott, Good points that in the process will likely be explored and reported as we analyze the initial results. I do have all of that data from our state DOT that they can release for 2013-2014. (54 columns of details per incident row) As a matter of perspective, this is all part of both local reporting and for the big target of 5 year reporting by the local Metro Planning to USDOT. The initial results I have generated are promising and as always create as many questions as answers but, sometimes you just have to throw something with reasonable validity up in order to know what questions you wish to ask further. So yes, I am looking at drilling down particularly for local action as to what mitigating factors may be involved but, all things being equal, we want to analyze corridors and intersections to see if there are any improvements that can be made there first as this is a matter of reporting for local transportation funding. Appreciate the input. ... View more

Adrian, Thanks for the input and help. From your answer I am taking that this is being done as a straight arithmetic function then and multiplicative etc? I am considering also doing a raster classification and then selecting by location to calculate out a probability of fatality, class A, class B etc for the various density clusters. Any thoughts on that? ... View more
