Used a combination of open-source, DoT-provided, and client-supplied data sources to uncover insights regarding the relationship of vehicle collision-avoidance systems and the number and severity of collisions per year/make/model
Manually captured and codified vehicle VIN numbers to support SQL queries calling specific vehicle year/make/model
Manually captured and codified collision avoidance system innovations per vehicle year/make/model
Generated a formal request for data that leveraged the assignment of vehicle VIN-numbers as foreign keys on time-series data
Performed baseline data analysis to assess the relationship between specific collision-avoidance technologies and the incidence of vehicular accidents per vehicle year/make/model, and to demonstrate relevance of this inquiry to DriveFactor
