摘要：Road traffic injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and currently rank ninth globally among the leading causes of disease burden regarding disability-adjusted life years lost. Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani are parts of the greater Bangkok metropolitan area, and the road traffic injury rate is very high in these areas. This study aimed to identify the environmental factors affecting road traffic injury risk prone areas and classify road traffic injuries from an environmental factor dataset using machine learning algorithms. Road traffic injury risk prone areas were set as the dependent variables for the analysis, with other factors that influence road traffic injury risk prone areas being set as independent variables. A total of 20 environmental factors were selected from the spatial datasets. Then, machine learning algorithms were applied using a grid search. The first experiment from 2017 in Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani was used for training the model, and then, 2018 data from Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani were used for validation. The second experiment used 2018 Nonthaburi data for the training, and 2018 Pathum Thani data were used for the validation. The important factors were grocery stores, convenience stores, electronics stores, drugstores, schools, gas stations, restaurants, supermarkets, and road geometrics, with length being the most critical factor that influenced the road traffic injury risk prone model. The first and second experiments in a random forest model provided the best model environmental factors affecting road traffic injury risk prone areas, and machine learning can classify such road traffic injuries.
