Causation Analysis of Hazardous Material Road Transportation Accidents by Bayesian Network Using Genie by Xiaoli Ma, Yingying Xing, Jian Lu

“…For example, the importance of three or more vehicles in an accident leading to the severe accident is higher than less vehicles, and in the absence of other evidences, the most probable reasons for “explosion accident” are vehicles carrying flammable liquids, larger quantity Hazmat, vehicle failure, and transporting in autumn. (2) The model can predict the occurrence of accident by setting the influence degrees of specific factor. …”
