Comprehensive Safety Assessment Model of Highway Section Based on the Accident Rate Prediction

Article Preview

Abstract:

At home and abroad research, accident rate prediction model for highway safety assessment contains various influence factors, so it is difficult to find a comprehensive accident prediction model considering so much of them. In this article, we select appropriate accident prediction models through comprehensive literature research respectively about the highway alignment conditions, traffic conditions, interchange spacing conditions, then determine the weights of three accident prediction models using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), finally obtain the comprehensive safety assessment model after the consistency check. Its’ feasibility is proved by a practical example.
