Comparative analysis of influencing factors on pedestrian road accidents

Abstract

Road accident data includes detailed information about incidents that occurred, such as where they happened, the severity of the accident, and the number of people on the road at the time. Such information is useful in determining the causes of accidents and developing potential countermeasures. This research aims to determine the factors that contribute to pedestrian fatalities and injuries in traffic accidents. This study examined 150 pedestrian-vehicle accidents that took place between 1990 and 2021 in forty countries. Eleven factors have been identified as the major causes of accidents. The categorical principal component analysis (CATPCA) technique is used to reduce the number of dimensions and identify the elements that contribute to accidents. The eleven variables are classified into three groups: human factors, roadway environment, and vehicle attributes. The study found that car speed, weather, lighting, traffic conditions, area types, accident locations, and road conditions all had a significant impact on pedestrian accidents and fatalities. The findings show that a pedestrian's state (walking, running) and intention significantly increase the risk of serious injuries and death. The analysis of the driver's status suggests that the driver's intentions may also play a role in car accidents.

Evaluation of factors affecting the number of traffic accidents

“…In addition, they suffer serious injuries among all traffic participants. Other studies have shown that factors such as alcohol consumption, age or gender of drivers, lighting, road condition, pedestrian behavior, accident scene, vehicle, speed and adverse weather affect pedestrian injury rates [6][7][8][9]. Adverse weather conditions and inadequate lighting, especially of pedestrian crossings, often lead to more serious injuries on the roads [10].…”

Artificial Intelligence in Energy Markets and Power Systems

“…This setting offers a chance for scholars studying power systems, energy markets, and emerging breakthroughs in AI to collaborate. Intelligent systems and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to be strong tools for developing novel computer-related solutions planning, execution, maintaining, market surveillance, and risk management [13]. Intelligent systems are ideal decision-support tools.…”

Comparison of Influences on Pedestrain Traffic Accidents

“…For transportation experts and politicians, this paper provides as an introduction to AV technology, its possible effects, and challenges. [3] By preventing fatal collisions, giving the elderly and disabled essential mobility, expanding road capacity, conserving fuel, and reducing emissions, AVs have the ability to drastically revolutionize current transportation systems. Vehicles may become an on-demand service as a result of developments in shared transportation and ownership that are complementary.…”
