To study the problem of highway traffic safety in cold regions, a thorough statistical analysis using traffic accident historical data is used to evaluate the influencing factors on highway traffic safety. A road traffic safety indicator system for cold regions is developed to evaluate the weight of these influence factors, such as driver performance, vehicle capacity, road condition, and general impact of the traffic environment. An index system of highway traffic safety influencing factors for cold regions is developed, and an evaluation model for traffic road safety influencing factors in cold regions based on attribute recognition theory is proposed. The weight of the model is determined using an analytic hierarchy process combined with expert scoring. The evaluation model is based on single-index attribute measure values and multi-index comprehensive attribute measurement values, using the confidence criterion to identify the influence of road traffic safety factors on road traffic safety in cold regions. In addition, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used for comparative evaluation, and the evaluation results were consistent and verified the correctness and feasibility of the attribute recognition model. Results showed that the evaluation system was in good agreement with actual traffic conditions in cold regions.
