This map visualizes Boston crash data from data.boston.gov, displaying incidents as colored points based on crash type: red for motor vehicle, blue for pedestrian, and green for bicycle. Users can toggle crash types on and off via interactive checkboxes in the legend. The visualization uses d3.geoPath with a geoMercator projection to render Boston neighborhood boundaries from GeoJSON, and positions crash points from CSV data using the same projection system.

AI-generated description

Data

The data I propose to visualize for my project is from a Boston Crash Dataset. This Dataset is pulled from data.boston.gov, provided as part of the Vision Zero Boston program, contains records of the date, time, location, and type of crash for incidents requiring public safety response which may involve injuries or fatalities. All records are compiled by the Department of Innovation and Technology from the City's Computer-Aided Dispatch (911) system and verified as having required a response from a public safety agency. To protect the privacy of individuals involved in these incidents, we do not indicate the severity of specific crashes or whether medical care was provided in any specific case.

I want to understand the geographic distribution of crashes. I want to understand how crashes have changed of time (time of day, time of week, time of year, year-after-year, etc.) I want to identify subsets of the data where crashes have a high value. I want to identify crash rates for location types. I want to identify crash rates for mode/vehicle type.

v7 - Boston Crash Map

This map shows the geographic distribution of traffic crashes in Boston, colored by mode type: motor vehicle (red), pedestrian (blue), and bicycle (green). Interactive checkboxes let viewers filter crash points by type. The visualization renders Boston’s neighborhood boundaries as GeoJSON paths using `d3.geoPath` with a `geoMercator` projection, and overlays individual crash locations from the city’s 911 dispatch dataset as SVG circles. Crash data is loaded directly from a CSV file.

v6 - Boston Crash Map

This visualization shows the geographic distribution of traffic crashes across Boston, with individual points colored by mode type: red for motor vehicles, blue for pedestrians, and green for bicycles. It also provides a legend identifying these categories. The map uses D3's `geoMercator` projection and `geoPath` to render Boston neighborhood boundaries from embedded GeoJSON data. Crash locations from the provided `crashes.csv` are plotted as circles, with coordinates projected and positioned using the same projection function.

v5 - Boston Crash Map

A geographic map of Boston displays crash locations as points against a basemap of neighborhood boundaries. The visualization shows the spatial distribution of incidents across the city, with individual crashes differentiated by mode type—motor vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle—using a Mercator projection. Built with D3.js, it uses `geoMercator` and `geoPath` to render the neighborhoods, while crash coordinates from a Boston Crash Dataset are projected as points.

Boston Crashes

This interactive visualization combines a geographic map of Boston with crash data from the city’s Vision Zero program, plotting each incident as a colored circle based on mode type—red for motor vehicles, blue for pedestrians, and green for bicycles. A toggleable time series chart below aggregates monthly crash counts using `d3.bin` and `timeMonth`, while checkboxes allow filtering by mode to update both views. The map uses `d3.geoMercator` and `d3.geoPath` to render Boston neighborhood boundaries from a GeoJSON file, with crash locations projected via longitude and latitude coordinates.

v4 - Boston Crash Map

A map of Boston displays red points marking crash locations from the city’s crash dataset, with an outline of the state drawn from hardcoded GeoJSON. A point is plotted for each record’s latitude and longitude. Using a D3 geoMercator projection and geoPath, the code renders the map, and D3’s data join appends circles to the SVG. The crashes.csv file supplies the coordinates for each marker.

Boston Crashes Project

This interactive visualization explores nine years of Boston crash data from the city’s Vision Zero program, using a geographic map and a time-series line chart. The map plots individual crash locations as colored points by crash type, filtered via checkboxes, and is rendered with D3’s `d3.geoPath` and parsed GeoJSON. The line chart aggregates monthly crash counts, with colored seasonal bands and toggleable lines for each crash type, implemented using D3 scales, axes, and `d3.line`. Both views load data directly from CSV and GeoJSON files, ensuring scalable performance.

v3 - MA Crash Map

This map shows the geographic distribution of traffic crashes across Boston, utilizing point data from the Boston Crash Dataset. The visualization plots each incident as a red circle, with the state and city boundaries of Massachusetts rendered as an outline. The code uses `d3.geoMercator` for projection and `d3.geoPath` to draw the map paths, while importing crash data from a CSV file to position the individual crash points.

v6 - Boston Crash Map

A geospatial treemap of Boston crash records from the city’s Vision Zero program maps point locations from a CSV onto a GeoJSON boundary. The visualization uses `d3.geoMercator` with a center on Boston and `d3.geoPath` to render the neighborhood polygon, while individual crashes are projected as points. The code imports crash data via `crashes.csv` and draws them in an SVG container, showing the geographic distribution of incidents by their `dispatch_ts` and `mode_type` attributes.
