What This Dataset Measures

Transport datasets help analysts examine mobility, infrastructure, passenger movement, logistics, and access to services.

Source-provided context: The data shows number of drivers and riders involved in casualty accidents by age group, gender and by year.

• Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• Best time column: years.
• Time coverage basis: years.
• Recommended join keys: country_iso3 where available plus source-specific keys.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-number-of-drivers-and-riders-involved-in-casualty-accident-e66d2d1b")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MU"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "years" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("years")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• Canonical time field: years.
• Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.

Source And Provenance

Transformations Applied

• Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows.
• Added or preserved source provenance columns where available.
• Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format.
