“…Because of that reason, hotspot identification of accident-prone locations remains a focal point of interests for transportation engineers. That is why a series of researches were involved in relationship analysis of accidents [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] in context of volume/capacity (V/C) [18,19,24,25], vehicles miles travelled (VMT) [17,[26][27][28][29], vehicles hours travelled (VHT) [25,30,31], speed [18,20,24,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38], flow [12,13,32,35,36,39], and geometric design [35,[40][41][42][43][44]. Different methods were applied to locate the risky road segments to be treated for safety level enhancement.…”
