Accident Risk at each Link
You can see the improvement on traffic accident risk by carrying out the control.
In addition to these results the simulation can estimates the accident risks at each links.
Traffic Accident Simulation Model estimates traffic accident risk at each link at each time interval, which shows expected number of accident occurring at a link per 108 veh*kms.

The Next Study
This study established the accident risk simulation which includes the accident risk estimation model. However, The traffic risk estimation model includes only SPEED. At the next model, the experimental variables determined by TRAFFIC STATES(Q,K) are included. When the simulation estimates the traffic accident risks, it has to use the aggregated data. Because the accident risk estimation model uses the experimental variables determined by aggregated data such as 5min. average speed.
Traffic States
Traffic states must appear on or near the Fundamental Diagram on the Q-K plane.

Loop 2-lanes
Study network Hanshin Expressway. In this analysis, ・Loop section The mixed flow must include the HMF because it has 4 lanes and it has higher share of weaving section. ・2-lanes section Almost of the mixed flow must be considered as TMF because it has only 2 lanes.

The risks of Mixed Flow and Congested Flow are higher than Free flow in both section.
The risks of Mixed Flow on the loop section are much higher than that of on the 2-lanes section.
These results imply HMF has higher risk than that of TMF.

This study - established the 3rd traffic flow state, “Mixed Flow” .
- did a comparison analysis to evaluate the relationship
between accident risks and these 3 traffic states.
⇒ Generally, the risks of the Mixed Flow are higher than that of Free Flow state. ⇒ The risks of Heterogeneous Mixed Flow are higher than those of Transitional Mixed Flow.
