Analysis of vehicle collision cases of Seattle.

西雅图的车辆碰撞案例分析。

The two terms, data analysis & data visualization seem to have become synonymous, but they are not. A good data expert strives to reach to the analysis through the visualizations. Simple plotting of beautiful graphs covers just the number crunching part, what elevates those visuals is the information and inferences one draws out utilizing statistics and analysis. A large number of people are focusing just on data visualization skills while not necessarily specifying the importance of analytical skills.

数据分析和数据可视化这两个术语似乎已经成为同义词，但事实并非如此。 优秀的数据专家致力于通过可视化工具进行分析。 简单绘制漂亮的图形仅涵盖数字运算部分，而那些可视化则是利用统计和分析得出的信息和推论，从而提升了这些视觉效果。 许多人只专注于数据可视化技能，而不必说明分析技能的重要性。

Data Analysis involves attaching meaning to the data and drawing insights out of it. Data visualization is the process of putting data into a chart, graph, or other visual formats that helps inform analysis and interpretation and not just pretty visuals to look at. Data visuals present the analyzed data in ways that are accessible to and engage different stakeholders done using systematic methods to look for trends, groupings, or other relationships between different types of data.

数据分析涉及将含义附加到数据上并从中汲取见解。 数据可视化是将数据放入图表，图形或其他视觉格式的过程，该过程可帮助进行分析和解释，而不仅仅是看得见的视觉效果。 数据可视化呈现了分析后的数据，使用系统化方法可以找到不同的利益相关者，并使其参与其中，以寻找趋势，分组或不同类型数据之间的其他关系。

The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see.

图片的最大价值在于它迫使我们注意到我们从未期望看到的事物。

Here we take the example of live accident data to showcase how visualizations integrated with structured inspections to bring out new information and understanding of the scenario at hand. We will dive deep to grasp why certain results have come about and identify opportunities for improvements with further investigation of the data, exploring it as an analyst, beyond producing dashboards.

在这里，我们以现场事故数据为例，展示了可视化如何与结构化检查集成在一起，以带来新的信息和对当前情况的理解。 我们将深入了解为什么会产生某些结果，并通过进一步调查数据，寻找分析员的方式(除了生产仪表板之外)来探索改进的机会。

Our aim here is to understand the causes of accidents, find any patterns persisting in severe accidents, and identify areas of improvement to reduce or prevent such cases. Now we know that more than 38000 people die every year in crashes on U.S. roadways, with a fatality rate of 12.4 deaths per 100 thousand. It is evident that with the increasing number of vehicles in urban and suburban roads, the cases of vehicle accidents are also increasing. We narrowed down our options to the United States’ Emerald City, Seattle. It is a seaport city on the west coast of the US and is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest with a living population of ~4 million. We gathered our data from the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT). The open-sourced data is regularly updating since 2004. Without further ado, let us jump to analysis.

我们的目的是了解事故原因，发现严重事故中持续存在的任何模式，并确定可以减少或预防此类情况的改进领域。 现在我们知道，每年有38000多人死于美国道路车祸，每10万人中有12.4例死亡。 显然，随着城市和郊区道路上车辆数量的增加，车辆事故的案例也在增加。 我们将选择范围缩小到了美国西雅图的翡翠城。 它是美国西海岸的海港城市，是华盛顿州和西北太平洋地区最大的城市，人口约400万。 我们从西雅图交通局(SDOT)收集了数据。 自2004年以来，开源数据一直在定期更新。事不宜迟，让我们跳到分析。

事故同比下降？ 不太确定 (Accidents declining YoY? Not so sure)

Although there is no clear trend visible, it seems that cases are declining yearly. There is no pattern of accidents with the months.

尽管没有明显的趋势可见，但案件似乎每年都在下降。 几个月没有发生意外的情况。

时间在碰撞中如何发挥作用？ (How does time play on collision?)

To analyze the data based on timestamp, it was helpful to divide the data into 6 equal time buckets.

要基于时间戳分析数据，将数据分为6个相等的时间段很有帮助。
