Classification the Characteristics of Traffic Accident Victims in Pariaman Using the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection Algorithm

Abstract

Traffic accidents are incidents that occur when motor vehicles collide on the road, resulting in damage to vehicles and road infrastructure, as well as the potential for material losses, injuries, physical damage, and even death for those involved. Data from the Indonesian National Police show that the number of traffic accident victims between 2010 and 2020 ranged from 147.798 to 197.560 people, with fatalities predominantly occurring among individuals aged 15-34. The high number of traffic accident victims has negative impacts on various aspects of life, ranging from material losses to physical damage to the victims. Classification is a technique used to group objects or data into pre-defined classes or categories based on their attributes or features. One method in the field of classification is Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID). The results of the classification using this method indicate that the age of the victims and the type of accident are the most significant variables influencing the condition of traffic accident victims. The evaluation of the model using a confusion matrix yielded an accuracy rate of 92%. This indicates that the model performs well in overall data classification.
