Absolutely Spot on John. The aim is indeed to provide an easy interface for
everyone and not just the experts. I have also to be careful about the
sensitivity and privacy of road users.
I like the idea of showing only severity. In a future release I would allow
the viewer to specify a combination of parameters rather than the fixed
style at the moment.
However, we perhaps ought not to ignore the fact that a slight injury could
have potentially become a serious injury had it not been the carefulness of
road users and early arrival of medical care etc. This is main reason for
leaving a severity option out in the first release. I am interested in
plotting risk (or something close it) instead of actual collision locations.
