Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is to reveal the distribution rules of highway traffic accident in China. Using statistics data, this paper discusses highway traffic accident frequency and severity distributions by various factors, including temporal dimension, road factors (such as road classes or functions, geometric alignment, etc.), vehicles factors, and drivers’ factors in details. The distributions of highway traffic accident type and highway traffic accident causes are also examined in the paper. A series of useful and interesting conclusions are available for domestic and overseas traffic policy-makers and road safety engineers.
