Abstract:

Based on the daily traffic accident data of 27 major highways in Jilin province from 2009 to 2019, combined with the observational data of 24 national meteorological stations in Jilin province corresponding to the accident points of the highways, the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of highway traffic accidents and their relationships with meteorological elements were analyzed and studied using the k-mean cluster, data standardization, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and accident ratio methods from SPSS software.The results show that the accidents were the most in winter, followed by summer, fewer in spring and autumn.The highway accidents were basically divided into four grades i.e.high risk, second high risk, medium risk, and low risk.Specifically, the central region was the high-risk area, and the northern region was the low-risk area, and the most accidents occurred in the area from Changchun to Jiaohe and the eastern part of Yanbian on the Huiwu line.Meteorological elements including rain, overcast, and snow were the main causes of traffic accidents.Only considering the influence of a single factor, rainfall and snowfall were positively related to the traffic accidents.Visibility was able to be adopted to quantify the influence of overcast on highway traffic safety and was the most important influence factor on traffic accidents when it was below 50 meters, especially under the wind force of level 6 or above.
