Özet:

 

Safety and efficiency are the two primary goals of transportation enginering. The effort  that public agencies put into reducing traffic accidents is highly justifiable. Traffic  accidents place a huge financial burden on society. Two major factors usually play an  important role in traffic accident occurrence. The first related to the driver, and the  second related to the roadway design.  Miaou and Lum, 1993 . Miaou  1994  studied  the relationship between highway geometric and accidents using Negative Binomial  regression. In this study, Miaou evaluated the performance of the Poisson regression,  zero-inflated Poisson regression, and Negative Binomial regression. Ivan and O'Mara   1997  applied Poisson regression for the prediction of traffic accidents using the  Connecticut Department of Transportation's accident data. Results of the model suggest  that the posted speed limit, the annual average daily traffic of the highway are critical  accident prediction variables leading to the conclusion that the Poisson regression  model is preferred than the linear regression model. Shankar et al.  1995  used both the  Poisson and Negative Binomial distributions  Poisson when the data was not  significantly over dispersed and negative binomial when it was  to evaluate the effects  of roadway geometrics and environmental factors on rural accident frequency in  Washington State. Agent and Deen  1975  attempted to identify high-accident locations  with respect to the functional type and geometry of the highway, using accident and  volume data from rural highways in Kentucky collected from 1970 through 1972.
