Analyzing the Impact of Traffic Violation Behaviors on Traffic Fatal Crashes Using Multilevel Models on Expressways

Abstract

This study is intended to explore the impact of traffic violation behaviors on traffic fatal crashes on expressways. Based on the generalized additive model method, for independent traffic violation data and traffic fatal crash data from the Traffic Administration Bureau of Anhui Provincial Public Security Department, the relationship among the violations and traffic fatal crashes was discussed. Applying the proposed multilevel analysis method, which can effectively show the evolution trend among traffic violations and traffic fatal crashes influenced by time, space, and inter-reaction. The results show that hierarchical data structures should not be ignored. Meanwhile, in order to avoid fatal traffic collisions, we should reduce traffic violations, especially the control of speed on expressways This is because speeding is the most common traffic violation behavior and has a significant impact on traffic fatal crashes. The results could help strengthen our focus on key traffic violations and provide a reference for traffic safety management and decision-making.

Forecasting the trend of road traffic crashes and its attendant fatalities in Nigeria (1960 -2020)

“…Traffic infraction behaviors are one factor that contributes to road traffic crashes. According to studies, traffic offenses are a major source of crashes and fatalities in a number of nations, including China, Europe, and the United States (7). Understanding and correcting these violations can play an important role in lowering the number of road traffic accidents.…”

Nonlinear Analysis of the Effects of Socioeconomic, Demographic, and Technological Factors on the Number of Fatal Traffic Accidents

“…To effectively prevent fatal accidents, it is crucial to develop strategies grounded in a thorough understanding of the various contributing factors. These encompass a range of elements from human behavior and vehicle malfunctions to environmental conditions and broader macrosocioeconomic influences [3]. Recent extensive research has demonstrated a mutual coordination between road transportation and economics [4], highlighting how economic status can influence regional disparities in crash occurrences [5].…”
