“…From a methodological perspective, numerous methods have been used to identify, analyse, or predict accident-prone places. Various models, such as those based on artificial neural networks and machine learning [28,34,35], logistic regression [28], MCDM and analytical hierarchy processes (AHP) [28,[36][37][38] and metaheuristic optimisation techniques [38,39], have introduced approaches to identify spatial associations between socioeconomic and built environment factors and risks such as PTAs in urban areas. For example, logistic regression has been used to determine whether or not there was a relationship between the spatial distribution of PTAs and various predictors in Dhaka, Bangladesh [40], Changsha, China [41], Hong Kong [42], Phoenix, Arizona, United States (US) [43], Iran [28] and a number of other cities, particularly in the US [44].…”
