Oahu Pedestrian Accidents 2007-2011

This map shows the locations of EMS-attended motor vehicle crashes involving pedestrians on Oahu from 2007 to 2011. The pedestrian accidents (along with other types of crashes) are also reported by Neighborhood Board Subdistricts.

The data source for these locations are patient care reports completed electronically at the crash scene by City and County of Honolulu EMS providers. (This excludes reports submitted by EMS agencies for Hickam Air Force Base and Pearl Harbor Naval Base.) City and County personnel responded to 14,669 total crashes over the 5-year period, of which 14,121 (96%) could be mapped or geocoded.

Geocoding was accomplished by linking the patient care report to latitude and longitude recorded by the EMS Communications Center at the time of the 911 call. The crash “location” is therefore the location of the 911 caller, although this is assumed to usually be in the proximity of the actual crash. The crash location was plotted using Esri ArcGIS geographic information system software. Geocoded crash locations that were within 50 feet of each other were merged to a common final location, for a more manageable description of clusters.
