Use of Accident Prediction Model in Identifying Hazardous Road Locations

Original language description

The paper introduces the possibility to use accident prediction models for the identification of hazardous road locations. The application of this method is presented on an example of secondary rural roads in South Moravian region which are classified into road segments homogeneous in terms of basic geometric and traffic characteristics. The prediction model is represented by a generalized linear model which, on the basis of the available data, determines the expected number of accidents for individualtypes of road segments. A critical road segment is defined as a segment where the reported number of accidents significantly exceeds the number of expected number of accidents on roads with similar geometric and traffic characteristics. This method can be used as one of effective tools of road network safety management.
