Machine Learning for Road Accident Severity Prediction

Journal Title: Mechatronics and Intelligent Transportation Systems - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4

Abstract

In the realm of road safety management, the development of predictive models to estimate the severity of road accidents is paramount. This study focuses on the multifaceted nature of factors influencing accident severity, encompassing both vehicular attributes such as speed and size, and road characteristics like design and traffic volume. Additionally, the impact of variables, including driver demographics, experience, and external conditions such as weather, are considered. Recent advancements in data analysis and machine learning (ML) techniques have directed attention toward their application in predicting traffic accident severity. Unlike traditional statistical methods, ML models are adept at capturing complex variable interactions, thereby offering enhanced prediction accuracy. However, the efficacy of these models is intrinsically tied to the quality and comprehensiveness of the utilized data. This research underscores the imperative of uniform data collection and reporting methodologies. Through a meticulous analysis of existing literature, the paper delineates the foundational concepts, theoretical frameworks, and data sources prevalent in the field. The findings advocate for the continuous development and refinement of sophisticated models, aiming to diminish the frequency and gravity of road accidents. Such efforts contribute significantly to the enhancement of traffic control and public safety measures.
