Application

 This application is a map in which about 70% of the fatal cyclist hit-and-runs on Spanish roads in the last fifteen years are geolocated. Each point on the map represents a fatal hit-and-run and contains the following information: cyclists killed, date and time, road, circumstances of the driver, link to Google Street View and to the source of information.   

 The dataset used is made up of accident data from the Dirección General de Tráfico and information obtained from the consultation of more than 300 news items on hit-and-runs in the digital version of different media.   

 From the data obtained, the application shows in which provinces there have been a greater number of accidents or in which time slot and day of the week they are more frequent.   

 The open data sources are:

Lostium Project develops applications and digital tools to make life easier for citizens and solve specific problems of the companies that hire their services. In their founder´s words, "after more than 10 years developing technological solutions in diverse sectors (such as financial, telecommunications or retail), we decided to create Lostium Project to manage the full life cycle of the projects".

The diversity of roles facilitates the integral execution of their projects: from the conceptualization and design to the development, the elaboration of the copy or the illustrations. Part of their work is also dedicated to the development of their own projects, experimenting with technology: they use open source software, reuse public information (open data) and integrate maps and positioning technologies (global and proximity), among other issues. In addition, they like to explore the social use of technology through collaborative projects, creating communities, integrating social networks, etc.
