Abstract :
When vehicles and pedestrians increase greatly, road traffic accidents occur frequently, which attracts our attention. In order to solve that problem, it is necessary for us to make reasonable evaluation on the road safety level. This paper will adopt fuzzy clustering analysis, fuzzy mathematics and relative knowledge to make clustering analysis on the road safety level. We can set up some road safety policies and measures based on the result of fuzzy clustering on the road safety level. For example, government departments can increase the number of traffic police or traffic lights and so on. For a new road, we can classify it into the existing classes according to the collected data to improve the management and reduce the number of accidents.
