Victoria road crash data
4de2a60e-d87e-41cb-8bb5-bca17b7f679f
This data has been consolidated from Victoria Police reports and Hospital injury information, then validated and enriched to provide a comprehensive and detailed view of road crashes and injuries across Victoria. The data provides users with information about Victorian fatal and injury road crash data based on time, location, conditions, crash type, road user type, and other relevant attributes.
Data Currency
This information will be updated on a monthly basis but with a 7 month lag in order to provide a comprehensive view of incidents during that time period.
Data Structure
The CSV data is split across multiple tables with attributes to facilitate joins between the information. This has been captured as part of the supporting documentation in the metadata. The tables and attributes include: - accident (basic accident details, time, severity, location) - person (person based details, age, gender etc) - vehicle (vehicle based data, vehicle type, make etc) - accident_event (sequence of events e.g. left road, rollover, caught fire) - road_surface_cond (whether road was wet, dry, icy etc) - atmospheric_cond (rain, winds etc) - sub_dca (detailed codes describing accident) - accident_node (master location table - NB subset of accident table) - Node Table with Lat/Long references
The GeoJSON dataset is a single flat file containing a subset of the attributes from the CSV files. It provides a single set of attributes for each road crash that has occurred within Victoria. Supporting documentation in the metadata will provide further details of the attributes.

documentDigital
Table of road crash accidents that includes information about how the crash occurred, date, time and severity of the incident.
CSV
Vehicle
documentDigital
<p>The VEHICLE table contains the details of the vehicles involved with an accident. There is a many-to-one relationship with the ACCIDENT table. i.e. there can be one or more vehicles involved with one accident only. The accident_no and vehicle_id fields are the primary keys.</p>
CSV
Accident Event
documentDigital
The ACCIDENT_EVENT table contains information about sequence of accident events. There is a one-to-many relationship with the ACCIDENT table. The accident_no and event_seq_no fields are the primary keys.
CSV
Atmospheric Condition
documentDigital
Weather and atmospheric conditions at the time of the crash
CSV
SUB DCA
documentDigital
The SUB_DCA table contains additional information on Definitions for Classifying Accidents (DCA). ACCIDENT_NO and SUB_DCA_SEQ are the primary keys of the table.
CSV
Person
documentDigital
The PERSON table contains the details of the people involved with an accident. There is a many-to-one relationship with the ACCIDENT table. I.e. there can be one or more people involved with one accident only. The accident_no and person_id fields are the primary keys.
CSV
Node
documentDigital
Table contains information about where accident is located on the map. NODE_ID is the primary key of the table. NODE_ID is referred by ACCIDENT and FATAL_ACCIDENT table. Same node_id can be assigned to more than one accident.
CSV
Road Surface Condition
documentDigital
Road surface conditions on which the crash occurred e.g. dry, wet, muddy
CSV
Accident Location
documentDigital
Table contains information from the master location table - NB subset of accident table
CSV
