library(dplyr)

The farsr library contains functions for the reading and displaying of FARS data.

A FARS data file contains data from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, which is a nationwide census providing the American public yearly data regarding fatal injuries suffered in motor vehicle traffic crashes.

The library requires dplyr, tidyr, readr, maps, and graphics.

Functions

fars_map_state Plots location of accidents on a map.

fars_read Read FARS file

fars_read_years Reads months and years from multiple FARS files (for multiple years)

fars_summarize_years Reads months and years from FARS files and summarizes how many accidents occurred per month/year

make_filename Create a FARS filename for a particular year

Examples

fars_read()

fars_read("accident_2015.csv.bz2")

setwd(system.file("extdata", package = "farsr"))
knitr::kable(head(fars_read("accident_2015.csv.bz2")))

make_filename()

setwd(system.file("extdata", package = "farsr"))
make_filename(2015)

fars_read_years()

setwd(system.file("extdata", package = "farsr"))
fars_read_years(2013:2015)
fars_read_years(list(2013, 2015))
