Modelling motorcycle accident on the road section by using general linear model: Case studies in Batu City

In the present study, we consider modelling the transportation and traffic problems in Batu City of East Java Province. Based on the accident data, the number of traffic accidents in Batu City is considered too high. Thus, the objective of this research is to develop a suitable model for motorcycle...

Description
Summary:In the present study, we consider modelling the transportation and traffic problems in Batu City of East Java Province. Based on the accident data, the number of traffic accidents in Batu City is considered too high. Thus, the objective of this research is to develop a suitable model for motorcycle accidents around Batu City in East Java Province. Using some statistical analysis it is found that the best-fit motorcycle accident model is computed by : Acc = 7.019 × 10−6F1.702 exp (−0.2884SW + 0.091S) where : Acc = number of accident, F = Flow, pcu/h, SW = shoulder width, m, S = speed, km/h. This model shows that the affecting factors are flow, shoulder width and speed, therefore local government should improve some related factors (flow, shoulder width and speed) that can reduce the number of motorcycle accidents at crossing road in Batu City.
