Pattern Mining Predictor System for Road Accidents

Abstract

Road traffic accidents are among the major concerns that are leading for deaths and injuries in the world. Many predictive models use data mining technique to provide semi optimal solutions. Pattern identification and recognition have been used to for road accident predictions based on the critical features extracted depending on the dangerous locations and frequency of occurrences prone for accidents. The aim of this research is to propose a novel predictive model based on the pattern mining predictor which improves the accuracy of accident prediction in frequent accident locations. The proposed system consists of association rules mining technique, which identifies the correlation, frequent pattern and association among the various attributes of the road accident. Clustering technique that discriminates the data based on different patterns and classification technique that classify and predicts the severity of accident. Novel system built leads to an improvement in the accuracy of the accident prediction from 92% to 94%. Furthermore, using selective subset of features decreased the processing time and precision of classification is improved using boosting technique.
