Traffic accidents remain a critical issue globally, with significant implications for public health, safety, and economic stability. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of traffic accident trends in the northeastern United States, focusing on Connecticut and its neighboring states—New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. By leveraging a dataset encompassing fatal collisions, driver behaviors, and car insurance premiums, this work investigates correlations between risky driving habits, accident outcomes, and the associated financial impacts. Key metrics analyzed include speeding-related incidents, alcohol-impaired driving, distracted driving, and their influence on insurance costs and claims. Rigorous data preprocessing methodology was employed, including normalization, outlier detection, and feature selection, ensuring a robust and reliable dataset for analysis. The study used advanced visualization techniques and statistical modeling, utilizing Python libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn, to identify trends and derive actionable insights. Comparative analysis reveals that while neighboring states such as Massachusetts and New York excel in certain safety metrics, Connecticut lags in addressing critical behavioral risks like speeding and alcohol impairment.

摘要

Traffic accidents remain a critical issue globally, with significant implications for public health, safety, and economic stability. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of traffic accident trends in the northeastern United States, focusing on Connecticut and its neighboring states—New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. By leveraging a dataset encompassing fatal collisions, driver behaviors, and car insurance premiums, this work investigates correlations between risky driving habits, accident outcomes, and the associated financial impacts. Key metrics analyzed include speeding-related incidents, alcohol-impaired driving, distracted driving, and their influence on insurance costs and claims. Rigorous data preprocessing methodology was employed, including normalization, outlier detection, and feature selection, ensuring a robust and reliable dataset for analysis. The study used advanced visualization techniques and statistical modeling, utilizing Python libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn, to identify trends and derive actionable insights. Comparative analysis reveals that while neighboring states such as Massachusetts and New York excel in certain safety metrics, Connecticut lags in addressing critical behavioral risks like speeding and alcohol impairment.
