Dataset of Jordanian Road Traffic Accidents Reports

The dataset utilized for this research consists of data on traffic accidents in Jordan, sourced from the JO-Traffic-Accidents-Dataset (JO-TAD). This dataset was procured from the Central Traffic Department, Public Security Directorate, Amman-Jordan. JO-TAD contains 73,095 accident reports recorded in 2018, specifically focusing on incidents transpiring in January, June, and September. These months correspond to three distinct seasons: winter, summer, and fall, respectively.

The Jordanian Road Traffic Accidents reports Dataset is publicly available as an Excel file (JO_traffic_accidents_dataset.xlsx) and a CSV file (Accident_raw_data_En.csv) . The JO_traffic_accidents_dataset.xlsx file includes several individual Excel sheets that contain: (1) the raw primary data for traffic accident reports, (2) the encoded dataset, and (3) the associated features encoding key.
As per the JO-Traffic-Accidents-Dataset (JO-TAD), it exclusively encompasses records pertaining to drivers and lacks any details regarding passengers involved in the accidents. The raw dataset comprises various labels, providing information about the accidents. This includes accident type, date, injury severity (ranging from simple to medium, severe, and fatal), road lanes, road surface description, road type, road properties, driver license type, travel speed, light condition, weather condition, driver errors, city, vehicle type, vehicle country of origin, number of cars involved, driver age, and driver sex.

This extensive dataset can be used by researchers and policymakers to explore accident mortality patterns at various geographical and time scales, as well as to assess the success of measures aimed at reducing road fatalities.

本研究使用的数据集源自约旦交通事故数据，采集自约旦安曼公共安全总局中央交通部门发布的JO-Traffic-Accidents-Dataset（JO-TAD）。JO-TAD包含2018年记录的73095份事故报告，仅聚焦于1月、6月和9月发生的事件，这三个月份分别对应冬季、夏季和秋季三个不同季节。

约旦道路交通事故报告数据集以Excel文件（JO_traffic_accidents_dataset.xlsx）和CSV文件（Accident_raw_data_En.csv）两种形式公开获取。其中JO_traffic_accidents_dataset.xlsx包含多个独立Excel工作表，分别为：(1) 交通事故报告原始一手数据、(2) 编码后数据集，以及(3) 相关特征编码对照表。

根据JO-Traffic-Accidents-Dataset（JO-TAD）的说明，该数据集仅涵盖驾驶员相关记录，未包含事故中乘客的任何相关信息。原始数据集包含多种标签，用于提供事故相关信息，具体包括事故类型、日期、伤害严重程度（分为轻微、中等、严重及致命四级）、道路车道数、路面状况、道路类型、道路属性、驾驶员驾照类型、行驶速度、光照条件、天气状况、驾驶员失误行为、所在城市、车辆类型、车辆原产国、涉事车辆数量、驾驶员年龄及驾驶员性别。

该大规模数据集可供研究人员与政策制定者使用，以探索不同地理与时间尺度下的事故伤亡模式，并评估旨在减少道路死亡事故的相关措施的实施成效。
