Deep mining algorithm for traffic accident data on highways under severe weather conditions

Analyzing traffic accident data is crucial for pinpointing contributing factors, forecasting accident patterns, and informing effective safety measures. This insight leads to enhanced road safety, decreased fatalities, and better resource allocation in transportation planning. Severe weather conditions, including rain, fog, and sandstorms, can significantly reduce the visibility of highways and increase the risk of traffic accidents. The paper proposes a deep mining algorithm for road traffic accident data under adverse weather conditions. Firstly, collect traffic accident data under adverse weather conditions and complete attribute reduction, denoising, and normalization processing. Then, by improving the decision tree algorithm, the attribute selection criteria of the decision tree algorithm were enhanced; Finally, the improved decision tree algorithm is applied to achieve deep mining of traffic accident data. The experimental results show that proposed algorithm has an accuracy rate of over 95.3%, an accuracy rate of over 94.3%, a recall rate of over 92.7%, and a stable F1 value of around 0.8, demonstrating excellent performance. The provided deep mining algorithm for traffic accident data can provide more scientific and accurate decision support for traffic management departments.
