Project Description
Phase I concentrated on looking at incidents and identifying reasons for aggression, specifically what effects delays had on aggression incidents
Phase II is more specifically concentrated on subway assaults and possible correlations with the data’s attributes
Main focus of both phases: analysis of a dataset of incidents which occurred in the New York City Subway system over multiple years and mining of the data to establish relationships and trends
Review
Violent assaults against customers and employeesDelaysSimple thefts (unarmed robberies, pick-pocketing,
etc.)
The first half of the study focused on mining data with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and the program Weka. Utilizing these tools and team methodologies, we determined which stations and train lines had the most:
Progression
Acquired US Census data regarding crime and population in NYC
Normalized the Census crime data and subway crime data by population for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx
Analyzed Subway crime as a microcosm of overall NYC crime for 2007
Created an interactive Javascript map pinpointing stations with most violent incidents and delays
The second half of the study had a more regional focus. The team:
City Crime vs. Subway Crime
We found that Manhattan, though the third largest borough in terms of population, accounted for over half the crime in NYC
The Bronx has the smallest population, but in terms of crime per resident, had the second highest rate of crime
Subway crime accounts for less of a percentage of overall crime in Manhattan than the other three boroughs researched
In comparing overall crime in New York City for 2007 to crime in the NYC Subway system:
City Crime vs. Subway Crime
When normalized for population, subway crime in Brooklyn and Queens accounts for a greater percentage of overall crime than in
Manhattan and the Bronx, signaling these boroughs may have more dangerous, or incident prone stations than Manhattan or Queens.
Findings: Customer Assaults
The stations with the most assaults (all types of assault) against customers from 2005 – 2007 were 59th Street, 14th Street and
125th Street.
Findings: Customer Assaults
Between 2005 & 2007, the highest number of assaults (all types) committed against customers took place on the A, 2 and
4 lines.
Findings: Employee Assaults
Stations with more than 5 total assaults (all types of assault) against employees between 2005 – 2007
Findings: Employee Assaults
Between 2005 & 2007, the highest number of assaults (all types) committed against employees took place on the 6, 2 and A lines.
Future Research Avenues
MTA and project team can separately mine an identical data set and introduce an objective methodology for determining the best results and techniques from both databases
Continue in-depth data mining Identify and research other algorithms in Weka
conducive to mining and correlating NYC Subway data (we propose the next team utilize clustering analysis via the algorithm SimpleKMeans)
Investigate possible correlations between neighborhood income levels and stations where subway crime is prevalent
Continue to expand and build on Javascript map
