Nashville Traffic Accident Clustering & Analysis
Using available traffic accident data, can we answer this question:
Where are the common hotspots in traffic accidents within the Nashville metropolitan area?
This Jupyter notebook was implemented as part of the graduate-level coursework for CSC 722 at Dakota State University.
The traffic accidents dataset was sourced from the Nashville Open Data Portal
This Jupyter notebook is written in Python 3, and has been tested to run on Linux (Debian 12) with Python 3.11. It should work on any currently-supported Python 3.x interpreter.
Additional libraries are contained in the requirements.txt file, and can be installed using the pip utility:
pip install --upgrade -r ./requirements.txtOn Linux, you can run this program via the following command on a terminal session:
