This interactive dashboard visualizes US airline accidents from 2010-2023, combining a geographic map, timeline, and bar chart. It presents accident locations on a US map using D3.js with TopoJSON for state boundaries, alongside a timeline showing accident frequency and severity over time, and a bar chart breaking down accidents by contributing factor. The visualization includes dropdown filters for year range, severity, and airline type, plus summary statistics, with interactive tooltips and hover effects on accident points. Data is sample data modeled after the NTSB Aviation Accident Database, rendered as SVG.
AI-generated descriptionUS Airline Accidents Visualization
This project displays an interactive visualization of airline accidents in the United States from 2010-2023 using D3.js. The visualization includes geographic distribution, timeline analysis, and contributing factor breakdowns.
Features
- Interactive map showing the locations of airline accidents across the US
- Timeline visualization showing accident frequency and severity over time
- Bar chart breaking down accidents by contributing factor
- Filter options to explore data by year range, severity, and airline type
- Key statistics summary
- Responsive design that works across different screen sizes
Data Source
The visualization uses sample data modeled after information from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Aviation Accident Database. In a production environment, this would be replaced with actual data from the NTSB or similar aviation safety organizations.
Technologies Used
