Go figure

I have never seen good statistics on the safety of seatbelts, but I don’t have to…just really think about it!! It does not even take much effort, but it helps that I don’t believe in ghosts protecting me from harm, or that I’m so very special & can drive so much better than others…delusions will get you killed!

Traffic data does come from a wide range of sources, but most of it is reported by local agencies monthly, and it can not be too difficult to have an updated if not perfectly corrected database that is never more than 60-90 days old.

One issue that still arises is the lack of consistency in the way different organizations store data. One of the biggest things our data students have to accomplish is data prep/organization before any analysis or modeling can be done. It takes some time.
