Second we collect three years ’ death traffic accidents data of the city and link these data with road network database with OLE connection between MapInfo and Visual Basic. We analyze reasons of traffic accidents to summarize major factors related to the accidents. Finally we create a hazard map to show the accident dangerous degree in the city
