Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about CrashView and the UK STATS19 road traffic accident dataset.

Where does the CrashView data come from?

CrashView is powered by the UK Department for Transport's STATS19 dataset, which records every police-reported road traffic collision across Great Britain. We ingest the accident, casualty and vehicle tables to retain crucial context for analysis. This data is then cross referenced with other data sources to provide measurable insight. Multiple data sources are used for different data types, allowing us to layer data to provide a clearer picture and understanding.

How often is the accident database refreshed?

Long-life caching keeps the homepage and accident explorer fast, refreshing automatically every day. When a new STATS19 release is published, the underlying data and caches are rebuilt so you always work from the most recent intelligence.

What is included in a CrashView regional report?

Premium reports combine multi-year trend analysis, severity breakdowns, hotspot commentary and narrative tailored to your selected region. They are available online, and can be accessed from anywhere. You have lifetime access, even as new reports are generated with fresh data. Reports include interactive charts and graphs, as well as data insight from numerous sources.
