KeyACCIDENT Search: Aggregate and report on a series of search areas as a single result set

Issue

I wish to search for collisions at different locations, for example at junctions all serving the same housing estate, but I want to look for common patterns within a single set of results.

There is an on-demand webinar from 17 May 2023 that covers options in detail

See www.transoftsolutions.com/uk/events-learning/webinars/

Set options to

 

Solution 1 - Append

KeyACCIDENT > Searches > Append

Command: AppendAccidents

 

We normally perform searches for collisions within a series of search areas, one at a time. It is search multiple search area at once, or perform successive searches, aggregating (combining) the results each time.

  1. If you wish to preform a series of searches, perhaps also that include no spatial filter, you can ask KeyACCIDENT to remember the results of each search. Normally, when you start a new search, the current, active accidents are cleared from memory. Effectively, by switching the behaviour, you are stopping the active records being cleared. Note: at some point you may wish manually to clear the active records, or start again with a new set.
  2. On the KeyACCIDENT ribbon, in the ‘Search’ panel, there is a small drop-down that includes the items shown below. Clicking to ‘Append Results’ means that as each search is started, the current, active records, are not removed, and the results of each subsequent search is appended to the last.

Note: This command is a toggle so selecting it a second time means that for the next search the active records will again be forgotten.

or Command: AppendAccidents

Append enabled: Search results appended to active records.

(carry out searches)

Command: AppendAccidents

Append disabled: Active records cleared before search results.

 

Solution 2 - Multiple

KeyACCIDENT > Searches > Multiple

Command: QMulti

This allows multiple search areas to be selected and these are displayed in the Search Wizard.

Further existing search areas can be added with Select Existing

New search areas can be added with Draw New
