I received the updated info from a member of the CA Mission 12 Moto Safety committee and Research / Analyst Guru from Berkeley and also a rider.
Basically: Tom with the Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC )
This stuff happens because the OTS cares and many hands helped create the amazing information that is now starting to come to us.
First up:
http://safetrec.berkeley.edu/special-groups/motorcyclists
The page has links to the 2 tools and to some other projects. Tom will be adding things as they learn more. This page will serve as the catch-all page for all things motorcycle...!!
Second an incredible tool:
http://tims.berkeley.edu/login.php?next=/tools/motorcycle/main.php
The mapping tool is ready for the motorcycle-riding masses...!!! Users will need to create a free account so that they can understand who is using the site - riders, police departments, public health departments, etc.
and third:
http://safetrec.berkeley.edu/content/motorcycle-collision-data-tables
And the collision tables are above. They used SWITRS data for fatal or injury motorcycle collisions in California for years 2009-2011 and produced 16 data tables for each of the 58 counties and for each of the 75 most populous cities.
Guys like Data Dan will have some cool access and I know he has already done some review of this stuff and has been chatting with Tom.
The Mapping tool I looked at in its Beta form... you can find out where moto crashes occurred on your common routes and then pay more attention in those spots that may specifically be a bit more of a hot spot on your commute or rides. They tie to Google street views as well so you can look at the area and read the description. Smarter is better so please play with it and get smarter!!
Awesome stuff...!!
