چکیده

The previous researches on the prediction of accidents frequently assumed the independence among the error terms, from the standpoint of traditional statistics. However, as spatial data including information about geographical spaces, data collected in each traffic analysis zones are not randomly distributed in space and have the spatial correlation each other. That violates the basic assumption. To control such autocorrelation, spatial econometrics analyses need to be considered. The aim of this study is to identify the spatial correlation of traffic accidents and to develop prediction models with spatial econometrics analysis in urban areas. As a result, it was found that traffic accidents revealed high spatial correlation and spatial econometrics models showed a more enhanced explanatory power than normal linear regression model. Moreover, spatial econometrics models were more excellent than it, when verifying it through SRMSE.

Modifying PIARC’s Linear Model of Accident Severity Index to Identify Roads' Accident Prone Spots to Rehabilitate Pavements Considering Nonlinear Effects of the Traffic Volume

Pavement rehabilitation could affect the accident severity index (ASI) since restoration measures means more safety for road users. No research or project has been carried out to identify hazard points to build a linear model based on crash severity index. One of the very popular accident severity index models used in all countries is based on linear models to rehabilitate pavements and this pa...
