Tóm tắt

Understanding the spatial–temporal distribution characteristics of urban road traffic accidents is important for urban road traffic safety management. Based on the road traffic data of Wales in 2017, the spatial–temporal distribution of accidents is formed. The density analysis method is used to identify the areas with high accident incidence and the areas with high accident severity. Then, two types of spatial clustering analysis models, outlier analysis and hot spot analysis are used to further identify the regions with high accident severity. The results of density analysis and cluster analysis are compared. The results of density analysis show that, in terms of accident frequency and accident severity, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Newport, Denbighshire, Vale of Glamorgan, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Flintshire and Wrexham have high accident frequency and accident severity per unit area. Cluster analysis results are similar to the density analysis. Finally, the temporal distribution characteristics of traffic accidents are analyzed according to month, week, day and hour. Accidents are concentrated in July and August, frequently in the morning rush hour and at dusk, with the most accidents occurring on Saturday. By comparing the two methods, it can be concluded that the density analysis is simple and easy to understand, which is conducive to understanding the spatial distribution characteristics of urban traffic accidents directly. Cluster analysis can be accurate to the accident point and obtain the clustering characteristics of road accidents.
