Comparative analysis of motorcycle accidents in Turkey with data mining techniques

According to a World Health Organization research issued in 2018, 1.35 million people lose their lives in traffic accidents worldwide each year. In Turkey, 4,866 people lost their lives in 150,275 fatal/injured accidents in 2020. Mass transportation in traffic and especially the covid 19 pandemic and the fact that people want to meet their needs without leaving home have brought about a large increase in service sector, dense motorcycle traffic network, rulelessness and accidents. In this context, 735 of the total 4,866 casualties belong to motorcycle and motor bicycle riders. The goal of this study is to utilize data mining classification techniques to evaluate fatal and injury motorcycle and motor bicycle accidents in Turkey and to establish the data mining classification model that provides the best estimate. Furthermore, the variables explaining both fatal and injury motorcycle and motor bicycle accidents were determined.
