Abstract:

The factors affecting the vehicle to vehicle severity accidents at urban intersections were analyzed by taking the 528 cases of the accidents data selected from the (China) National Automobile Accident In-depth Investigation System (NAIS) as the samples with analyzing time period distribution and the vehicle loss distribution. A bivariate ordered Probit model were established by taking the severity of the casualty and vehicle loss as the dependent variables. The results show that the human factors, the vehicle type, the collision location, the street light and the signal status affect the accident severity significantly; speeding increase the death probability by 15.49%, drunk driving increase the vehicle scrapping probability by 5.92%; No traffic lights escalates the accident severity; collision location affects the vehicle damage severity significantly; and the left side collision causes significant vehicle local deformation is 2.92% higher than the right side. Therefore, considering the vehicle damage state may provide a new perspective for accident factor analysis.

Key words: traffic safety, intersection, accident severity, vehicle-vehicle accident, bivariate ordered Probit model
