This paper analyzes the characteristics of accidents for the Sun Yat-Sen National Freeway. Fatal and severe injury data from January 1991 to December 1995 are used to construct three accident analysis models for different road sections via poisson and negative binomial regression techniques, two special methods of generalized linear models. The results show that the variables involved in each model as well as the appropriate regression techniques of different models are not all the same. Poisson regression model can well describe the toll station sections while negative binomial regression model appropriately depicts the mainline and interchange sections, representing a high variance-mean ratio of accident frequency. It is found that steep downgrade,warlike preparation runways, number of conf1icts on interchange sections, and upper speed limit are major factors inf1uencing the accident frequency. Several countermeasures to reduce the accidents on this freeway are also proposed. |
