Abstract

Traffic congestion has become a significant concern regarding social safety and economic impact. Understanding the relationship between congestion and accidents is vital in providing the patterns to the Traffic Management System to mitigate the congestion as early as possible. Furthermore, traffic accidents lead to property damage, casualties, and increased congestion levels. So, a lot of research is going on to tackle this problem of accidents and congestion. This paper proposes a Bayesian Network (BN) to predict and analyze the factors of the probability of traffic congestion using accident data. A novel technique of labeling the congestion is being introduced, namely the formula-based and hotspot-based approaches, utilizing the accident dataset. Different scenarios are developed to understand the patterns causing congestion, and two classification models are used to evaluate the performance of the BN model. Model results are compared with different machine learning models. Results show that the proposed model outperforms in terms of accuracy and precision. It shows comparative performance concerning other machine learning algorithms.
