Run the code on team17.ipynb to see the results of our classification methods.

To see the visualization of our results, you can look at the image called "Map USA.png". 4 denotes the highest severity of accidents while 1 denotes the lowest severity of accidents. Regions are shaded from 1 through 4 based on their projected severity from our classifier. We calculated that our algorithm produced 82% accuracy in classifying severity of certain regions.
