Mapping The Texas Triangle


Texas Triangle Tragedies maps the publish of fatal accidents inwards Texas from 2005 to 2014. The map picks out what it calls the 'Texas Triangle', an surface area outlined yesteryear I-35, I-45 in addition to I-10, which has a high concentration of traffic accidents.

I similar the consistent pattern on the interactive map inwards this report. The aesthetic of highway signs is used for the timeline, legend in addition to for the data windows. The map itself nevertheless isn't peculiarly revealing. As the introduction to the map points out this surface area has a densely concentrated population. So alongside to a greater extent than people, in addition to presumably to a greater extent than traffic, nosotros mightiness await this surface area to convey a higher concentration of accidents than elsewhere inwards the state.

Texas Triangle Tragedies draws attending to the fact that the "number of traffic fatalities has remained relatively apartment comparison the years 2005 in addition to 2014". The site's analysis of the notable contributing factors to the traffic accidents is in all probability to a greater extent than revealing than the map itself. It shows that driving nether the influence is a leading contributor to accidents in addition to that "alcohol-related traffic fatalities increased yesteryear to a greater extent than than xx percentage during the fourth dimension period".

If the Texas Triangle Tragedies map included an option to permit you lot to filter the accidents shown yesteryear contributing causes it could mayhap expose around interesting spatial patterns near where these unlike types of accidents occur.
