Obviously, improving the road safety and the efficient allocation of limited resources to the provinces according to their ranking should be done. This paper presents a hybrid method of multivariate statistical analysis-decision making to evaluate Iran road traffic safety. In order to solve the problems of road traffic safety, a macroscopic evaluation and traffic safety level classification in ...

Road traffic volumes in intercity roads are generally estimated by probability functions, statistical techniques or meta-heuristic approaches such as artificial neural networks. As the road traffic volumes depend on input variables and mainly road geometrical design, weather conditions, day or night time, weekend or national holidays and so on, these are also estimated by pattern recognition te...
