Abstract

Aiming at the problem of highway traffic safety in cold region, traffic safety evaluation model is established by applying the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation theory and the highway safety level is judged. On the basis of the comprehensive analysis of the factors affecting highway traffic safety, the index system for highway traffic safety evaluation is established combining with expert evaluation method, the weight value of influence factors in the traffic incident are confirmed. The comprehensive evaluating result is obtained. The value is 1.8858 in range from 1 to 2. The result shows that the highway safety level in the certain cold region is good. The assessment model can offer the theoretical foundation for highway safety evaluation in other cold region.
