Identification of accident-prone segments using APIU: A case study on highway safety analysis in China

Objective This study proposes the accident point interval unit (APIU) method combined with the characteristics of road traffic accidents. The aim is to automatically identify accident aggregation areas, providing basis for highway design and traffic management. Methods Historical accident data from a secondary highway in Guizhou Province and an expressway in Guangdong Province over 3 to 4 years were analyzed using APIU to identify accident-prone segments. A backpropagation (BP) neural network model was utilized to calculate the weight of the impact of the alignment on the occurrence of the accidents, which were then integrated with evaluation levels to formulate a risk index model. Results The APIU exhibited stability and consistency in identifying accident-prone sections, effectively accounting for the influence of adjacent road sections. The BP neural network model quantified the impact of road alignment on accidents, and the risk index model provided a comprehensive evaluation of road section risk. A significant risk zone was identified within 200 to 300 m before the accident staking point, validating APIU. Conclusions Using the APIU, accident-prone segments can be accurately identified. The risk indexes start rising within a specific range before the accident stakes, suggesting that road accidents are influenced by the geometric alignment preceding the accident point. Based on this insight, highway authorities can implement targeted safety measures and enhance signage in critical areas.

Spatiotemporal Distribution and Evolution Characteristics of Water Traffic Accidents in Asia since the 21st Century

As an important mode of transportation for the global trade, waterborne transportation has become a priority option for import and export trade due to its large load capacity and relatively low cost. Meanwhile, shipping safety has been highly valued. By collecting technological water traffic accident data from the EM-DAT database, the spatiotemporal distribution and evolution characteristics were investigated in Asia since 2000. The methods of gravity center and standard deviation ellipse analysis were utilized to determine the spatial and data-related characteristics of water traffic accidents. Temporally, the results indicated that accidents occurred most frequently during the seasons of autumn and winter, leading to a significant number of casualties. Spatially, both South-eastern Asia and Southern Asia emerged as regions with a high frequency of water traffic accidents, particularly along the borders of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Bay of Bengal region. In addition, the Daniel trend test and R/S analysis were conducted to demonstrate the evolution trend of accidents across various regions and seasons. The present study provides guidance for improving marine shipping safety, emergency resource management, and relevant policy formulation.

Analysis of primary-party traffic accident rates per driver in Japan from 1995 to 2015: Do older drivers cause more accidents?

Studies on the age and generation characteristics of traffic accidents primarily focus on the tendency of deaths and severe injuries, whereas the faults or drivers who caused the accidents are not considered. Using license holders as a parameter for measuring accident risk when evaluating the number of primary-party accidents is challenging because it includes those who possess licenses but do not drive. In previous studies, the age characteristics in traffic accidents were evaluated based on different age groups and generational characteristics. Therefore, a Bayesian age–period–cohort analysis was performed in this study to isolate the effects of age, period, and generation on the number of traffic crashes. This approach can identify the gender/age of the driver, who may be the primary contributor to an accident, as well as the risk of traffic accidents in younger and older drivers. The results show that 1) age imposes a more significant effect than the duration and cohort. In the case of single-vehicle accidents, 2) the effect of age was significantly more prominent for males over 80 years old and females over 70 years old.

Development of a Road Protection Value Model as an Indicator for National Road Safety Performance Assessment from the Perspective of Drivers of Four or More Wheeled Motorized Vehicles

This paper introduces the model of Star Rating Scores (SRS) or Road Protector Scores (RPS) for Indonesian National Roads from the perspective of motorized vehicle drivers with four or more wheels, which are explored from the characteristics of traffic accidents along Indonesia's national roads. This SRS model takes into account 2 different main parameters and 4 main parameters that are the same as the main parameters of the SRS International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) and a total of 51 road attributes. The two main parameters that differ from the SRS iRAP model are the parameters for front-rear crashes and fore-side crashes when turning around. While the 4 parameters are the same as front-side collision accidents at property access, single accidents leaving the road body, front-to-front collision accidents, and accidents at intersections. In the early stages, the National Road SRS model was designed using 51 road attributes. After analysis using the Importance and Performance Analysis (IPA) method, 43 road attributes were successfully formulated for the SRS National Road model, consisting of 30 likelihood factor attributes, 10 severity factor attributes, 2 external traffic influence factor attributes, and 1 factor attribute operational speed. In addition, it is proven that the SRS National Road model is significantly different from the SRS iRAP model. The three main parameters of the National Road SRS model, namely the front-rear hit accident parameter, the front-side hit accident parameter when turning around, and the front-side hit accident parameter at property access are significantly different from the parameters of the SRS iRAP model.

Characteristics analysis of intercontinental sea accidents using weighted association rule mining: Evidence from the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea

With the continuous growth of international trade and the number of ships, the pressure on marine safety is increasing. To strengthen the efficiency and pertinence of accident prevention and control measures, in-depth research on the characteristics of marine traffic accidents is of great significance. This study uses a Weighted Association Rule Mining (WARM) approach to investigate the association between marine traffic accidents characteristics. The Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea play a crucial role in global maritime transportation. The marine traffic accidents in the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea region from 2006 to 2020 are collected from the Lloyd's List Intelligence (LLI) database. Then, WARM is applied to obtain the characteristics of marine traffic accidents. The findings show that Flag of Convenience (FOC) vessels in the Mediterranean have a lower accident rate than non-FOC vessels do. Moreover, the results reveal a strong relationship between accidents and the age, gross tonnage, and ship type. Older general cargo ships with a gross tonnage between 500 and 3000 tons are more prone to accidents. This research provides insights for authorities to develop targeted measures for preventing specific types of accidents and enhancing marine safety.

Division and Analysis of Accident-Prone Areas near Highway Ramps Based on Spatial Autocorrelation

This study focuses on identifying accident-prone areas and analyzing the factors contributing to the distribution of traffic accidents near highway ramps. A combined method of kernel density estimation, spatial autocorrelation analysis, and multivariate logistic regression analysis helped to identify accident hotspots. Through data collection and analysis, the clustering characteristics of traffic accidents in the diversion and merging areas were identified. Four levels of accident-prone areas were divided according to the accident rates. The factors influencing the spatial distribution of accidents were analyzed. The results showed that traffic accidents in the diversion area were concentrated near the exit, but the accidents in merging areas had a wider range of distribution. The analysis of this phenomenon was conducted using the multinomial logit model results. The important factors of different accident-prone areas were clarified. The temperature, the accident lane, weather conditions, and the time of day had significant impacts on the spatial distribution of traffic accidents. The study’s findings provide an important decision-making basis for highway accident prevention management.

Determination of the location of accident-prone areas based on ranking using the Equivalent Accident Number (EAN). A total material loss of Rp. 86,300,000.00 for the last two years and three months. The location of the accident-prone area is the Kaliurang kilometer 8 road with an EAN value of 203. The results of the analysis are interpreted that the better the handling related to complementary buildings and road facilities, the more likely it is to reduce the number of accidents in the accident-prone area.

Risk Assessment of Traffic Accidents Involving Young Adult Drivers by Identification of Subjective and Objective Factors

Young drivers represent the most vulnerable age group at risk of participating in traffic accidents. In order to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents involving young drivers, various models for assessing the risk of accidents have been studied. Inexperience, lack of driving skills and risky behaviour in traffic are the main characteristics of traffic accidents involving young adult drivers. On the contrary, traffic accidents involving older adult drivers are characterised by reduced visual and cognitive stimuli and reduced mobility. Based on the data about traffic accidents from the available databases relevant for road traffic safety in the Republic of Kosovo over a four-year period, the road characteristics that caused the majority of traffic accidents involving young adult drivers and the subjective and objective factors that affected the occurrence of traffic accidents the most have been defined. To conclude the research, a correlation has been defined between objective and subjective factors that increase the risk of traffic accidents, as well as the frequency of single safety factors (human, vehicle, road and environment) in traffic accidents involving young adult drivers.

Characteristics of road traffic accident types and casualties in Guangzhou, China, from 2007 to 2020: A retrospective cohort study based on the general population

IntroductionThis study aimed to explore the trend and main influencing factors of road traffic accidents in Guangzhou, China, from 2007 to 2020 and to provide a reference and guidance for government decision-making. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was used to describe road traffic accidents in Guangzhou. According to the population types, all people with road traffic accidents were divided into migrant workers and the control population. We divided road users, administrative districts, motorcycle types and injury levels into subgroups to investigate the characteristics of road traffic accidents in Guangzhou. The road traffic accident data were derived from the Guangzhou Public Security Traffic Management Integrated System. ResultsThe incidence rate of road traffic accidents per 10,000 vehicles in Guangzhou decreased from 36.55 in 2007 to 10.07 in 2012, remained relatively stable at 9.47 in 2017, and finally rose to 11.12 in 2020. The injury rate showed the same trend as the incidence rate, while the mortality rate gradually decreased from 14.21 in 2007 to 5.19 in 2020. Vulnerable road users such as motorized two-to-three-wheeler drivers and migrant workers were casualties in more than 80% of the cases. The proportion of casualties involving mopeds and electric bicycles increased rapidly after 2018. Motor vehicle drivers frequently caused road traffic accidents and were most often uninjured. ConclusionRoad safety in Guangzhou has shown a clear trend of improvement, but casualties are uneven across administrative districts. More attention should be given to motorized two-to-three-wheelers, migrant workers, and road traffic violations by uninjured individuals.

Analysis of speed limits credibility - Case studies for Batajnica and Nova Pazova

Complex and often contradictory aims in traffic engineering, primarily from the aspect of traffic efficiency and safety, have led to the need for speed management. One of the speed management measures is the speed limit. A poorly set speed limit can lead to negative consequences. A speed limit that is not in accordance with the driver's perception in relation to road and traffic characteristics is not considered credible. This paper examines the credibility of speed limits on two sections between the settlements of Batajnica and Nova Pazova. Through the paper methodology, the road characteristics of sections, speed (calculated speed, free speed, exploitation speed and limited speed) and traffic accidents were analysed. The credibility of the set speed limits in 2019 and 2020 was examined by analysing all the mentioned parameters. Recommendations were made based on the results of the research.

Exploration of road closure time characteristics of tunnel traffic accidents: A case study in Pennsylvania, USA

With the increase of roadway tunnels, tunnel traffic accidents are also increasing. Compared with open roadways, road closures caused by traffic accidents in the tunnel have greater influences on traffic operations, as tunnels are often the key junctions of the roadway network. With the traffic accident data of Pennsylvania from 1997 to 2020, this study is designed to identify the features and trends of road closure time due to tunnel traffic accidents. First, features of tunnel and non-tunnel traffic accidents are compared from the perspectives of accident consequences, environmental factors, risky driver behavior, and vehicle features. The data confirms that tunnel traffic accidents are more likely to lead to road closures than non-tunnel ones. Besides, tunnel traffic accidents are mainly consisted of rear-end and hit-fixed-object collisions with many speeding cases. Then, a Negative Binomial model is built to statistically identify the factors significantly influencing the road closure time, which is recorded as non-negative integer in the data. The estimation results indicate that collision type, accident severity, road type, driving under the influence, the involvement of heavy trucks, and the number of involved vehicles could significantly influence the road closure time, whereas lighting, road condition, speeding, and area are insignificant. Finally, based on the research findings, some countermeasures are proposed to reduce the road closure time caused by tunnel traffic accidents.
