PREDICTOR MODEL OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN CONSIDERATION OF ACCELERATION NOISE AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS

The authors developed a predictor model of acceleration of which road traffic conditions and drivers' performance are the major parameters. This paper demonstrated that their predictor model is capable of predicting the locations where the risk of traffic accidents are high, using the correlation between the occurrence of accidents and acceleration noise. A significant number of traffic accidents could be reduced by adopting their model on the planning and design stages of the traffic system.
