Evaluating the effectiveness of machine learning techniques in forecasting the severity of traffic accidents.

Traffic accidents pose a significant public safety concern, leading to numerous injuries and fatalities worldwide. Predicting the severity of these accidents is crucial for developing effective road safety measures and reducing casualties. This paper proposes an analytic framework that utilizes machine learning models, including Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Artificial Neural Networks, to predict the severity of traffic accidents based on contributing factors.
