Abstract

Abstract: Current road traffic safety situation is still challenging globally and needs continuous public attention. Exploring the characteristics of road traffic accidents could improve the understanding of accident causation mechanism and help develop countermeasures to reduce the accident occurrences. The paper first explores the general characteristics of urban road traffic accidents from the perspectives of temporal, spatial, and personal distributions. Random Forest (RF) Model is then utilized to identify important features affecting the occurrence of traffic accidents. Accordant countermeasures are finally discussed and proposed.
