Abstract
This study employs artificial intelligence technique, namely, Classification and Regression Trees (CART), with the concept of white spots to determine the factors, that contribute to the frequency and severity of road crashes. It was found that speed limit of more than 110km/hr increases the chance of a segment to be a blackspot, irrespective of any other parameter. Increasing number of lanes and lane width reduces the probability for a segment to be a blackspot. The results of this study provide valuable guidelines to reduce accidents for traffic management authorities. The application of CART proved to be helpful in achieving the objectives of this study.
