Abstract
A method for visualizing and analyzing contributions of various input features for traffic safety status prediction is provided. The method includes initializing a deep belief network (DBN) with input features; performing unsupervised learning/training by observing changes of weights of the input features during the unsupervised learning/training; when the unsupervised learning/training process is complete, performing supervised learning/training process by generating a reconstructed input layer based on results of each hidden layer; and continually running the supervised learning/training and generating a weight diagram based on both visualization and numerical analysis that calculates contributions of the input features. The input features may include one or more of annual average daily commercial traffic (AADCT), median width, left shoulder width, right shoulder width, curve deflection, and exposure for traffic safety status prediction.
