• Abstract: Rapid increase of traffic volume on urban roads over time has changed the traffic scenario globally. It has also increased the ratio of road accidents that can be severe and fatal in the worst case. To improve traffic safety and its management on urban roads, there is a need for prediction of severity level of accidents. Various machine learning models are being used for accident prediction. In this study, tree based ensemble models (Random Forest, AdaBoost, Extra Tree, and Gradient Boosting) and ensemble of two statistical models (Logistic Regression Stochastic Gradient Descent) as voting classifiers are compared for prediction of road accident severity. Significant features that are strongly correlated with the accident severity are identified by Random Forest. Analysis proved Random Forest as the best performing model with highest classification results with 0.974 accuracy, 0.954 precision, 0.930 recall and 0.942 F-score using 20 most significant features as compared to other techniques classification of road accidents severity.

  We propose a large-scale traffic crash language dataset, named CrashEvent, summarizing 19,340 real-world crash reports. We further formulate the crash event feature learning as a novel text reasoning problem and further fine-tune various large language models (LLMs) to predict detailed accident outcomes. Our experiments results show that our LLM-based approach not only predicts the severity of accidents but also classifies different types of accidents and predicts injury outcomes.

The output of the proposed severity classification approach includes three classes for fatal and severe injury (KA) crashes, non-severe and possible injury (BC) crashes, and property damage only (PDO) crashes. The results of Granger causality analysis identified the speed limit, surface and weather conditions, traffic volume, presence of workzones, workers in workzones, and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, as the most important factors affecting crash severity
