This study was conducted for D100/11 state highway section in Düzce. In this section of the highway, totally 783 traffic accidents occurred and 1396 vehicles involved in these accidents between 2002 and 2006 years. Using traffic accident reports data, ANN was applied for modelling of traffic accidents with respect to distance and months. As a result, it was observed that there was a perfect fit between the simulation results and actual data of accidents and the created neural network model of accidents resembles the actual data. Therefore, the developed model could be an alternative method for predictions of traffic accidents on interurban rural highways. © 2008 Asian Network for Scientific Information.en10.3923/jas.2008.146.151info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAnalysis; ANN; Data mining; Identification; Simulation; Traffic accidentsArticle81146151N/A
