We develop a GIS database to store urban traffic accident data in digital style, and analyze these data in terms of their attribute and spatial characteristics to exploit the reasons of accidents and rank urban area with dangerous degrees. We establish a road network in MapInfo for a sample city. Second we collect three years’ death traffic accidents data of the city and link these data with ro...
