Abstract

The Louisville Metro is a high traffic area due to its continuous growth and popularity. From this, residents have seen a change in traffic patterns and the result has been an increase in vehicle collisions. This project investigates factors related to crashes such as weather, manner of crash, road conditions and characteristics. The focus is on compiling and examining local collision data to pinpoint the predominant causes and circumstances unique to Louisville. With this information, we have compiled evidence-based strategies to minimize accidents and make the Louisville Metro area safer for drivers.
