Abstract

According to statistics from 2011 to 2013, in China, approximately 60,000 people were killed in road traffic accidents every year. And about 4% of these accidents have vehicle safety issues, such as brake failure, tire burst. To investigate association between vehicle safety performance and traffic accident casualty risk, 1302 traffic accident samples with detailed information were collected and transformed into data. Base on logistic regression analysis, the quantitative function relationship between vehicle status and driver injury severity was built. This research method represents an important step in the methodological evaluation of vehicle data with respect to traffic safety.
