Abstract

A traffic accident represents a stochastic negative event in traffic on road communication network. Sufficiently detailed analysis of traffic accidents and the implementation of some suitable measurements can be helpful to prevent an occurrence of accidents at selected locations where traffic accidents’ occurrence is more frequent. It is also important to analyses and understand the environment and events that occurred before and during the accident. The emergence of a traffic accident is always caused by three main factors: a driver, a vehicle and a road communication. The range of causes of traffic accidents is wide, but most accidents are caused by driver inappropriate behavior. Several years, the methods have been developing for traffic accidents prediction. A different view of issue of traffic accidents gave rise to several methods. These methods generally define the probable number of traffic accidents or the number of injured, killed persons at certain section of the road or in a certain area.
