The package explores motorcycle crash data from 2012 through 2021 furnished via the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle Department through its open data portal.

Key West Mopeds

[] []

Overview

KeyWestMopeds is an exploratory analysis of motorcycle/moped crashes in Florida from 2012 through 2019. A threshold requirement for understanding the data set is to understand what triggers a long form crash report and how a motor vehicle is defined.

According to the Florida Uniform Traffic Crash Manual, a long form crash report is required when:

• Resulted in death of, personal injury to, or any indication of complaints of pain or discomfort by any of the parties or passengers involved in the crash;
• Leaving the scene involving damage to attended vehicles or property (F.S. 316.061(1));
• Driving while under the influence (F.S. 316.193);
• Rendered a vehicle inoperable to a degree that required a wrecker to remove it from the scene of the crash; or
• Involved a commercial motor vehicle.
