Predicting pedestrian crash occurrence and injury severity in Texas using tree-based machine learning models
This study investigates the frequency and injury severity of pedestrian crashes across Texas using tree-based machine learning models. Ten years of police records are used along with roadway inventory and other sources to map 78,000 + pedestrian crashes over 700,000 road segments. Methods like random forests (RF), gradient boosting (LightGBM and XGBoost), and Bayesian additive regression trees (XBART) are applied and compared. The crash frequency models indicate that highway design variables have significant impacts on crash frequencies. Severity models show how higher speed limits significantly increase the likelihood of pedestrian fatalities and severe injuries, and how intoxication (of drivers or pedestrians) lead to more severe injuries. The 4 specifications perform similarly in predicting crash counts, with LightGBM having much faster computing times. Across the crash-severity models, XBART achieved greater precision values but with significantly higher computating times.
