10 years of Emergency Medical Services calls to service in South Seattle showing locations of injuries relating to pedestrians vs. vehicle injuries and bicycle injuries (bicycle injuries included may have no relation to other motor vehicles). Two levels of EMS services are included: Advanced Life Support (ALS) or Basic Life Support (BLS). The data fields included provide insight into the severity of injuries and outcomes of EMS assistance or transport of a patient. For example, an injury may be escalated to ALS transport to a trauma center due to higher severity of injury. Attached to this email is a copy of the 'data dictionary' which describes the data.

Trip tables are two-dimensional matrices containing the estimated number of trips between any two origin/destination points in the Puget Sound region. The tables for our region are aggregated into 3,700 neighborhoods (or “zones”) for convenience, so the matrices are 3700x3700 in size. You can think of a trip table as a big “from/to” table, on a neighborhood-to-neighborhood scale.

he TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.

This data is derived from sensor stations placed on bridges and surface streets within city limits. Each station has a temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the street surface and a sensor that measures the ambient air temperature at the station each second. Those values are averaged into temperature readings that are recorded by the station every minute. The dataset is updated every fifteen minutes with new data.

The Fremont Bridge Bicycle Counter records the number of bikes that cross the bridge using the pedestrian/bicycle pathways. Inductive loops on the east and west pathways count the passing of bicycles regardless of travel direction. The data consists of a date/time field: Date, east pathway count field: Fremont Bridge NB, and west pathway count field: Fremont Bridge SB. The count fields represent the total bicycles detected during the specified one hour period. Direction of travel is not specified, but in general most traffic in the Fremont Bridge NB field is travelling northbound and most traffic in the Fremont Bridge SB field is travelling southbound.

This data is derived from SDOT's Hansen Asset Management system. A series of queries and calculations provide an estimate of parking spaces by type and a final Parking Category based on block length and sign and curb space inventories. The assumptions vary depending on whether the block is under Curb Space Management. A CSM block uses the measured space inventory from Hansen, and should be fairly accurate. Non-CSM block estimates are based on assumptions about the signs associated with the block face. These estimates are not accurate for any specific block, but apply fairly well as an average across a neighborhood with similar characteristics.
