Victoria Road Crashes — A Compact Data Story: When, Where, and Why
This R Markdown flexdashboard interactive report explores Victorian Government open data on road crash data.
It shows when, where, and why road crashes occur across Victoria, with a particular focus on the severity of crashes, the concentration of locations, and environmental conditions.
The dashboard has three sections:
Overview: Monthly trends for crashes and weekday vs weekend comparisons.
Where: Geographic concentration of crashes and leading LGAs by incident count.
Why (Context): Light conditions and speed zones for crash severity.
Every visualisation is supported with a plain-language explanation so that the findings are understandable by both non-technical and technical stakeholders.
