Analysis of Pedestrian-Vehicle Crashes Using Artificial Learning Methods: City of Sakarya Case Study

Abstract

The lives of approximately 1.3 million people are cut short every year as a result of road traffic crashes. Between 20 and 50 million people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability as a result of their injury. The risk of dying in a road traffic crash is more than 3 times higher in low-income countries than in high-income countries [1]. In Turkey, 18% of traffic accidents was related to pedestrian-vehicle collisions in urban roads in 2020. In addition, 20% of death toll caused by accidents is pedestrians in 2020 [2]. This study deals with the some of classifiers to forecast the number of injuries as a result of traffic accidents. The classifier’s performance ratios were also examined.
