Hi everyone,
I am currently in the process of writing a paper regarding the locations of animal vehicle collisions in a district.
I have been given the coords of the accident locations, as gathered by the police, and have plotted these in ArcMap and then saved it as a shape file. I also have shape files of the district boundary, rivers, roads, vegetation and buildings.
What I am interested in looking at, is locating where there are areas which have a high no. of collisions within a short distance of each other. E.g. where are areas which have at least 3 accidents, in which accidents are within 100-200m of one another.
Once I have located these areas I want to look at individual points within these high collision areas to determine what reasons there may be for so many accidents in such a small area. For each individual accident point I have already filled in the attribute table with the corresponding features e.g. at a single location, what the DATE, TIME, LIGHT CONDITIONS, ROAD CONDITIONS, SPECIES INVOLVED was.
I am really struggling to find the right method to use since I only want to see the distribution of the points in order to see where we can find high risk areas. I will attach a picture of the plotted points in ArcMap. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have never used ArcMap before.
