The FARS package allows the analysis of data from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (Fatality Analysis Reporting System).

This R package is available on Github and can be installed and used by typing those commands:

The function "fars_read()" reads a csv file of the accidents and generate a tibble file than can be used to analyse the data with R functions.

data <- fars_read(filename = "./accident_2013.csv.bz2")

The function "summarize_years()" produce a summary of the accidents per year(s) for each month.

summarize_years<-fars_summarize_years(years=2013:2015)
