TORO Roads application
The Targeting Offenders and Risk on Our Roads (TORO Roads) application provides a comprehensive overview of roads policing data from across the Avon and Somerset force area. Details of collisions, offences such as speeding, Journeycam reporting, anti-social driving, and more can be viewed via an easy-to-use self-serve interface.

Using the application
TORO Roads is based on the Qlik analytics application. See Basics in Qlik (Word doc) to get some general guidance and tips.
On the overview screen, you have the option of choosing between several pre-defined sheets (you can also move between sheets using the page arrow buttons at the top-left of each screen):
Incident and Detection Map
This sheet shows a map with customisable overlays to show a range of roads data, including speeding offences, collisions, near misses, local authorities and parishes. These can be toggled using the options on the left of the screen. The map can be moved by dragging with your mouse, and zoomed in and out using the mouse wheel. There is an overview of collision data to the right of the screen. Additionally, you can filter the data according to local authority, parish, road type, road number, and road name by using the buttons at the bottom of the screen
Road Risk Hotspots
Similar to the Incident and Detection Map, but this view focuses on showing road risk, which enables easy identification of hotspots (currently for major roads only).
Road Analysis
This view presents a dashboard with charts showing data including number of incidents, incidents per kilometre, incidents weighted by severity and more. The data can be filtered for local authority, parish, road, and more.
Collision Profile
A dashboard that focuses on collision data, including collision severity trends over time. The view can be filtered using the options to the left of the screen.
Time Analysis
This dashboard focuses on time-based display of data, enabling identification of trends, and a view of incident distribution on an hourly, daily and weekly basis.
