Team Flight Risk — CSC316 Project

https://csc316-project.github.io/Project/

A visual exploration of where, when, and why aviation incidents occur.

File Overview

• index.html: HTML code
• css: CSS code
• js: JavaScript/D3.js code
• data: CSV data files
• images: PNG files

Libraries

• Bootstrap 5.3.3
• D3.js v7
• TopoJSON v3

Questions This Project Explores

• How do accident rates change over time?
• Where do incidents cluster geographically?
• What factors (weather, mechanical failure, etc.) appear most often?
• What is the overall risk of flight travel?

AI was used for error handling and D3 best practices.

Run the visualization locally

Using Python HTTP server:

python -m http.server 8000

Then open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:8000

Note: You cannot open index.html directly in the browser because of CORS restrictions when loading CSV files. Use a local server.

Notes on Data

Aviation incident datasets can be incomplete, inconsistently reported, or biased toward certain regions/time periods. Visualizations in this project are meant to show observed patterns in the available data, not definitive conclusions about all aviation safety.

This CSC316 project is for educational purposes. The dataset is from Kaggle and subject to their terms of use.
