Incident management in urban transportation: application of data mining
(2010) In SCIT Journal 10(1). p.19-28- Abstract
- Better understanding of the impacts of an incident may help analysts to design more appropriate incident management strategies. Very little is known to date about the usefulness of applying data mining in traffic and transport related research, although data mining has contributed its usefulness significantly in other fields. This research is intended to discover the relationship between motor vehicle accidents and the comprehensive information about people, vehicles, and conditions recorded in Police Accident Reports using data mining techniques. The data obtained from the traffic police's accident database, are first clustered using the K-mean method. Then, by exploring the extracted patterns and rules, some refinements in behaviors are...

Then, by exploring the extracted patterns and rules, some refinements in behaviors are proposed. So by using this innovative method, regardless of the constraints of this study, useful knowledge about the enhancement of safety of driving and roads and managing the accidents are provided. (Less)
