Abstract

Accident injury prediction is a crucial constituent to reducing fatalities linked to vehicle crashes. The vehicle development process and road safety planning includes also the injury prediction for occupants and Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) in a vehicle crash and the identification of the factors responsible for increased traffic collision injuries. This paper reviews the different data-based prediction techniques to modeling a vehicle crash event, crash frequency and crash severity. Machine learning (ML) is a research field which has gained impetus in the recent years and is widely used in different engineering applications; including injury prediction in vehicle collisions. The paper is divided into two major sections; the first section presents an overview of the existing predictive models for estimating injury severity in a crash event to occupants and VRUs and the second section describes the applications of data-based modeling techniques to predict crash frequency in different traffic scenarios. We also discuss possible future applications of data-based modeling techniques in this domain.
