Abstract

This study illustrates the data mining of historical crash records to determine the associations between the risk of mortality or severe injury and all possible contributory factors. Information on the demographic, crash, environment, and traffic characteristics of 73, 746 pedestrian casualties in Hong Kong during the period 1991-2004 was used to establish a predictive model with binary logistic regression. Taking into consideration the impact of temporal interruption on the measures of association, the temporal confounding and interaction effects were progressively incorporated to achieve a more effective predictive model. The goodness-of-fit of the model was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic and a logistic regression diagnostic.
