Machine-learning based road crash risk assessment fusing infrastructure, traffic and driver behaviour data
Abstract
The objective of this doctoral dissertation is to assess road crash risk by fusing infrastructure, traffic, and driving behaviour data. For this reason, two distinct databases were developed. The first one concerned motorway segments and included road crash, traffic, road geometry and driver behaviour data, while the second database concerned urban and interurban road segments of a broader area for which crash and traffic data were unavailable. The results of the negative binomial regression model for the motorway segments showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between road crash frequency and events of harsh driving behaviour. Subsequently, taking into account the number of road crashes per segment length and traffic volume, four crash risk levels of the motorway segments were formulated using hierarchical clustering. These four crash risk levels were used as the response variable in five machine learning classifiers that included predictors related to road geome ...
