Application of cluster analysis in the behaviour of traffic participants relating to the use of safety systems and mobile phones

Abstract

This paper presents a cluster analysis related to the behavior of traffic participants in relation to the use of safety systems and mobile phones. The data on traffic behavior were downloaded from an open data portal in Serbia. Three types of cluster analysis have been applied: hierarchical clustering, Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) clustering and model clustering. The obtained results point to the various possibilities of using these three clustering methods in the field of traffic and suggest further research.
