Towards Sustainable Transportation: The Role of Black Spot Analysis in Improving Road Safety

Ioannis Karamanlis,
Andreas Nikiforiadis,
George Botzoris
et al.

Abstract: Sustainable transportation goals include an improvement in the level of road safety worldwide. It is well known that traffic accidents are one of the major causes of death worldwide. Black spots are road locations with a higher than statistically expected number of accidents. Remedying black spots would decisively improve road safety. A literature review of black spot identification methods, i.e., accident numbers, accident rates related to exposure, severity of accidents, Poisson and quality control methods, … Show more

“…ML techniques, particularly deep learning, are increasingly being used in transportation research for black spot identification [41,42]. These data-driven methods offer adaptability to new data and changing conditions, overcoming limitations of traditional methods, which often involve strict assumptions and manual labor and struggle with complex datasets [43].…”

“…Based on 2019 data, these incidents now rank as the primary cause of death for individuals between the ages of 5-29 and the 12th leading cause of death in the world when all ages are considered. Pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, especially those residing in developing nations, bear a higher amount of this burden (Ioannis, et al, 2023). The Southeast Asia Region has the largest death toll in terms of absolute numbers, accounting for 330,222 deaths or 28% of the global burden (World Health Organization, 2023).…”

“…Furthermore, the socio-economic cost of road accidents is classified as the most significant among all other human activities. The first step is to realize that driving is the riskiest daily activity that poses a risk to life and physical integrity (Ioannis, et al, 2023).…”
