Abstract:

Using the data on road traffic accidents caused by weather in Nagchu Municipality in Tibet from January of 2017 to June of 2020, as well as meteorological data from national-level meteorological stations near the accident sites, the grade and spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of the traffic accidents and their weather-related causes were analyzed.The results show that over the past three years, the weather-caused traffic accidents in Nagchu have been increasing year by year.The order of the ratio of weather conditions inducing traffic accidents from high to low is snow, rain, ice roads, hail, and fog.The number of traffic accidents features an obvious monthly and diurnal variation, and the time phase from 08:01 to 12:00 a.m.from December to next March is an accident-prone period.Accident-prone road sections are mainly the G109 Qinghai-Tibet Road.Increasing winter precipitation and decreasing average ground surface temperatures at 0 cm are the main meteorological reasons for the increase in the number of traffic accidents year by year.

Key words: Traffic accident, Qinghai-Tibet Highway, Sichuan-Tibet Highway
