Research on the Influence Factors of Road Traffic Accidents in Wuhan Based on Social Network Analysis
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
As the scale of cities expands, traffic safety has become a common problem in cities around the world. It is significant to deeply analyze the causes and mechanisms of road traffic accidents for the sustainable development of cities. This study firstly collects the data of road traffic accident in Wuhan City from 2018 to 2022. Through analyzing the characteristics and causes of road traffic accidents in Wuhan City, the influencing factors of road traffic accidents are identified from the aspects of road conditions, traffic facilities, and personnel behavior. Secondly, social network analysis method (SNA) is adopted to construct the network correlation structure between various factors and assess their effect. Finally, based on the identified key influencing factors, this study conducts an in-depth analysis of the road traffic safety situation in Wuhan City, and provides recommendations for the government of Wuhan City to improve the safety of road traffic. The results of this study can assist the government in formulating more effective policies for traffic safety management and facilitate the sustainable development of urban construction.
