Abstract

On the basis of comprehensive analysis of traffic safety evaluation studies abroad, this paper presented the evaluation index system composed of four areas, such as people, traffic flow characteristics, traffic environment, and traffic management, consisting of a total of 15 indexes for special situation and problems in port road traffic safety. Each index has definite index classification criteria, evaluation requirements, and investigation methods. This paper also built evaluation model based on BP neural network and analyzed its calculation method in detail. This method has a guiding role for the management and decision levels of the port road traffic management department.
