The 'table__history' is a rich historical record of road traffic accidents in 2011. It is part of a larger dataset collection, showcasing a comprehensive view of road traffic safety dynamics in Finland. The table contains unique information about each accident, including time, location, and specific details about the incident.

With the use of geographic information available in the dataset, the table can provide valuable insights for geospatial data analytics. Each row represents a unique accident event, with geographic coordinates presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude. These geographic coordinates can be utilized to map road accidents, identify accident-prone areas, and study patterns in road safety.

The table also includes a unique combination of '_start_date' and '_row_number' for each row, allowing a detailed version history of each accident record. The '_start_date' indicates when the row was extracted from the data source, while the '_end_date' indicates when a new version of the row was extracted. If the '_end_date' is null, it signifies that the row is the most recent version of the record.

The data in this table can be leveraged for a variety of analytical purposes. For instance, traffic safety authorities can use this data to identify high-risk areas and times for road accidents, informing targeted interventions. Urban planners can utilize the geospatial data to assess the impact of road infrastructure on accident rates. Furthermore, researchers can use the version history to track changes in accident rates over time, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of road safety measures.

The 'table__history' is sourced from the website of 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) in Finland.
