Application for Visualization and Analysis of Traffic Accident Information

This paper introduces new approaches to traffic accident data utilization. Possible options of traffic accident information gathering are described together with their potential use in an early warning system about a high risk of a traffic accident. Furthermore, possibilities of visualization of traffic accident records on a map without using a Geographic Information System are discussed. The most crucial part of this paper is a design and description of a web application for visualization and analysis of information about traffic accidents, which uses its own map server.
