Evaluation of Road Traffic Safety in Huai Yin District of Jinan City Based on AHP

Abstract:

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which needs less information and shorter time on decision-making, is selected for road traffic safety evaluation in this paper. Combined with the instance in Huai Yin district of Jinan city, the structural model that includes road conditions, intersections, straight sections, bends and ramps is proposed. Delphi method was used to construct the judgment matrix and then the MATLAB was used to calculate the corresponding weights of the various index of the entire road system. Combined with self-assessment of each index, then the safety level of the road is figured out.
