The scientists of the Council of the City of Madrid, Spain placed sensors along a highway named M30 (each sensor 500 m apart) around Madrid to collect traffic data such as vehicle density, average speed of the vehicle, time vehicle stopped at a position. Then they use an algorithm to analyze the type of vehicle traffic, Discovery News reported.
Analysis results show that commonly traffic traveling on the highway with a speed close to each other even if they are located far from other vehicles. But in the period from 18h to 20h, the number of speeding and stopping of vehicles makes controlling of device becomes more difficult. After comparing the statistical data on traffic accidents, the researchers found that from 18h to 20h is about time that the most accident-prone.
The researchers said that the number of motor vehicles participating in traffic in peak times larger than in other times of the day. When the vehicles around you move with different speeds, you'll have less time to react so that it will increase the risk of accidents.
