High injury network

A high injury network (sometimes shortened to HIN[1]) is a way of identifying parts of an urban street network with higher rates of traffic injuries or fatalities, typically with a goal of prioritizing these streets for safety interventions.[2] High injury networks have been published by many cities in the US[3][4][5] and Canada[6][7] as part of their efforts to work toward Vision Zero.[8] While data on fatalities and collisions have long been available in many municipalities, the first HIN per se was published by San Francisco in 2013,[2] though work on similar efforts had begun there as early as 2011.[9]

Creating a HIN is a data-driven[10] exercise, and the analytic methods and data sources used may vary widely.[11][12] Most HINs are created at the scale of cities where detailed collision data is collected, though regional efforts at defining a more standardized approach also exist.[12]
