Identification of black spot locations concerning the equivalent accident number and upper control limit methods: A case study of national highways in Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Human, vehicle, and environmental factors are common causes of traffic accidents. Human factors are dominant and significantly contribute to many accidents, due to driver’s carelessness, lack of understanding of driving technique, traffic ethics, etc. In that sense, road safety is essential and is required to be taken into consideration. Hence, the initial step to enhance road safety is by identifying locations that are prone to traffic accidents (black spots). The objective of this study was to identify the black spot locations using quality control of statistical methods concerning the Equivalent Accident Number (EAN) method and the Upper Control Limit (UCL) method. According to data obtained from the Banda Aceh City Police Department, Aceh Province, traffic crashes frequently occurred on 14 national highways in Banda Aceh City, from 2018 to 2020. Among those national highways, Jln. Elak 2 (Soekarno – Hatta) and Jln. T. Nyak Arief had EAN values that exceeded the UCL values. As a consequence, those two national highways were designated as the most vulnerable locations to traffic accidents in Banda Aceh City. Therefore, this study recommends that the local governments have to pay greater attention to those particular roads and need to implement several actions to decrease the frequency of accidents.
