Traffic accidents are causing major deaths in urban environments, so analyzing locations of the traffic accidents and their reasons is crucial. In this manner, patterns of accidents and hotspot distribution are analyzed by using geographic information technology. Locations of the traffic accidents in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 are combined to generate the kernel distribution map of Kyrenia City. This analysis aims to find high dense intersections and segments within the city. Additionally, spatial autocorrelation methods Local Morans I and Getis-Ord Gi are employed. The results are discussed in detail for further analysis. Finally, required changes for numerous intersections are suggested to decrease potential risks of high dense accident locations.

Speed-Related Traffic Accident Analysis Using Gis-Based Dbscan And Nnh Clustering Topcuoglu, B.; MEMİŞOĞLU BAYKAL, TUĞBA; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (2022-8-05) To ensure road safety and reduce traffic accidents, it is essential to determine geographical locations where traffic accidents occur the most. Spatial clustering methods of hot spots are used very effectively to detect such risky areas and take precautions to minimize or even avoid fatal or injury accidents. This study aims to determine speed-related hot spots in the pilot Mersin Region, which includes seven cities in the central-southern part of Turkey. Two different hot spot clustering methods, the Neare...
Spatio-temporal accident analysis for accident prevention in relation to behavioral factors in driving: The case of South Anatolian Motorway Kaygisiz, Omur; Duzgun, Sebnem; Yildiz, Ahmet; ŞENBİL, Metin (2015-08-01) Analyzing the pattern of traffic accidents on road segments can highlight the hazardous locations where the accidents occur frequently and help to determine problematic parts of the roads. The objective of this paper is to utilize accident hotspots to analyze the effect adifferent measures on the behavioral factors in driving. Every change in the road and its environment affects the choices of the driver and therefore the safety of the road itself. A spatio-temporal analysis of hotspots therefore can highli...
Traffic Accidents in Contemporary Turkish Films A Qualitative Study Kaçan, Bilgesu; Cantekin, Duygu; Fındık, Gizem (ODTÜ- AYNA Klinik Psikoloji Destek Ünitesi, 2021-10) Traffic accidents can be traumatic events. These traumatic events end up with different psychological reactions such as post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic growth. Media channels' framing can create social reality about trauma. Thus, examining media channels' framing of traumatic events gains importance. In the current study, examining the framing and content of contemporary Turkish movies, which includes traffic accidents, was aimed. Primary materials of this study were three Turkish movies, namely "Y...
Spatio-Temporal Pedestrian Accident Analysis to Improve Urban Pedestrian Safety: The case of the Eskisehir Motorway Kaygisiz, Omur; Yildiz, Ahmet; Duzgun, Sebnem (2015-01-01) Determining pedestrian accident hotspots on road segments is a crucial part of the pedestrian safety assessment as it is used to prioritize problematic parts of a road network for in particularly planning and implementation strategies. Moreover, the spatial pattern of the pedestrian accidents may change over time due to several factors. In order to better understand pedestrian safety conditions, pedestrian accident patterns have to be analysed with regard to both space and time. This paper adapts such a spa...
Traffic climate and driver behaviors: The moderating role of driving skills in Turkey and China Üzümcüoğlu, Yeşim; Özkan, Türker; Wu, Chaozhong; Zhang, Hui (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) © 2020 National Safety Council and Elsevier LtdIntroduction: While road traffic accidents and fatalities are a worldwide problem, the rates of road traffic accidents and fatalities show differences among countries. Similarly, driver behaviors, traffic climate, and their relationships also show differences among countries. The aim of the current study is to investigate the moderating effect of driving skills on the relationship between traffic climate and driver behaviors by country. (Turkey and China). Meth...
