Abstract:

Based on the data of 814 accidents that caused road property losses on the southwest mountain expressway, to clarify the correlation factors of the road-property-loss severity, the road property losses caused by accidents are divided into three levels according to the amount of compensation: <4 000, 4 000~10 000, and >10 000 RMB. Further, potential factors affecting the severity of road property losses are selected from the aspects of vehicle type, number of vehicles involved, accident form and cause, and driving environment. An analysis model of the road-property-loss severity on mountain highways is established using partial advantage ratio model, and the degree of influence on road property loss due to various factors is analyzed via a pseudoelastic coefficient. The results show that 13 factors are considerably related to the degree of road property loss. Among these factors, the proportional advantage assumption is not met when the vehicles involved in accidents are small and medium-sized trucks, buses, and cars and the season is in winter, and the remaining factors meet the proportional advantage assumption. When the vehicle involved in an accident is a heavy truck, it increases the probability of a Level 2 and Level 3 road-property-loss accident; the same happens at the sections of the road with a small curve radius. In addition, smooth curve section, multivehicle accidents, weather, and straight sections will cause an increase in the probability of Level 2 and Level 3 road-property-loss accidents.

Key words: transportation engineering, degree of road production loss, partial odds ratio model, proportional advantage assumption, elastic analysis
