Development of an Urban Traffic Safety Evaluation System Based on the Matter Element Method

Abstract

The urban road traffic safety situation significantly influences the city’s development pace and residents’ lives. Therefore, focusing on urban roads as the research subject leads to two types of hazards as secondary indicators. The first type of hazard, being the energy carrier, determines the severity of accident consequences, while the second type determines the probability of accidents occurring. By selecting 12 corresponding three-level indicators for hazard assessment and establishing a matter element model, an example analysis was conducted. MATLAB was employed along with AHP-entropy weight method to determine weight values and evaluate levels using the matter element model. Improvement suggestions are also proposed.”
