Abstract

Traditional accident prediction models have been mostly designed with statistical analysis that finds and analyzes the causal relationships between traffic accidents and a variety of human, road geometry, and environmental factors. However, these statistical methods have limitations in that they are based on assumptions about data distribution and function type. Therefore, this study suggests an accident prediction model using deep learning. This newly suggested risk prediction model is for predicting risk by reflecting static features of the road, such its length and the speed limit on it, and dynamic features of the road, such as traffic volume when driving on it, and the altitude and azimuth of the sun. For this purpose, 4470 accident cases, collected over 5 months from August to December 2018 in Seoul—the most complex, high-traffic, and accident-prone city in Korea—were analyzed. As a result of testing the model using such data, it was found to have an accuracy of 75% and recall of 81%. Based on testing results for the suggested risk prediction model, a system was developed to guide not only accident-prone regions predicted using statistical data but to also guide a risk level for the road. This level of risk is estimated based upon each given situation, so it can change even for the same road. This guide system can be used to provide a level of risk for each road segment and region but also to improve roads with recommendations, such as installation of safety features. In addition, it could support a mobile system that provides a driver with the optimized driving path for safety.
