摘要

In this paper, we consider the problem of modeling and predicting highway accidents in the presence ofrandomly changing winter driving conditions. Unlike most accident prediction models in the literature, which are typicallyformulated in a static (e.g. regression models) or discrete time (e.g. time-series models) setting, we propose a continuoustimestochastic model to describe the relation between highway accidents and winter weather dynamics. We believe this tobe a more natural way to describe discrete-event highway accidents that occur in continuous-time. In particular, theaccident counting process is viewed as a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) with an intensity function thatdepends on a (Markovian) weather process. Such a model is known in the stochastic process literature as a MarkovmodulatedPoisson process (MMPP) and has been successfully applied to queuing and telecommunications problems. Onemain advantage of such an approach, is its ability to provide explicit closed-form prediction formulae for both weatherand accidents over any future time horizon (i.e. short or long-term predictions). To illustrate the effectiveness of theproposed stochastic model, we study a large winter data set provided by Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) thatincludes motor vehicle accidents on Highway 401, the busiest highway in North America.
