Traffic Safety Evaluation and Accident Prediction of Freeway: Evidence from China

In recent years, freeway safety accidents occurred frequently, causing serious harm to people's lives and property safety. Therefore, how to evaluate freeway traffic safety and predict the number of accidents scientifically is a practical problem to be solved. The influencing factors of freeway...
