Abstract:

The city council of Barcelona releases traffic accident data every year, making them public through its portal OpenDataBCN. This Thesis merges these data with a weather data set made available by Wunderground.com and with holiday data acquired through web scraping at DateAndTime.com, in order to extract insights about local traffic accidents and, ultimately, build a Random Forest model to estimate accident probabilities during a given time interval in any point of the city. |
