Abstract

In this paper fuzzy soft set based Traffic Accident Alert Model is proposed to predict the highly accidental spots in Bhopal city the capital of Madhya Pradesh state, India. The proposed model involves two decision factors Ri and Si for the correct prediction. Accident is an uncertain event. Fuzzy soft set is a suitable approach to handle the uncertainties. The six locations (U) and seven parameters (E) are used in the proposed model. To test the proposed model a survey is conducted for datasets collection. The survey is done within Bhopal city and ten thousand samples are collected from the people affected by accident. Result and analysis of the proposed algorithms show the accidental spot(s) prediction. The comparative analysis has been done of the proposed method with existing methods. The proposed method shows the better performance.
