In Belgium, traffic safety is one of the government's highest priorities. The identification and profiling of black spots and black zones (geographical locations with high concentrations of traffic accidents) in terms of accident-related data and location characteristics must provide new insights into the complexity and causes of road accidents, which, in turn, provide valuable input for governmental actions. Association rules were used to identify accident-related circumstances that frequently occur together at high-frequency accident locations. Furthermore, these patterns were analyzed and compared with frequently occurring accident-related characteristics at low-frequency accident locations. The strength of this approach lies with the identification of relevant variables that make a strong contribution toward obtaining a better understanding of accident circumstances and the discerning of descriptive accident patterns from more discriminating accident circumstances to profile black spots and black zones. This data-mining algorithm is particularly useful in the context of large data sets for road accidents, since data mining can be described as the extraction of information from large amounts of data. The results showed that human and behavioral aspects are of great importance in the analysis of frequently occurring accident patterns. These factors play an important role in identifying traffic safety problems in general. However, the accident characteristics that were the most discriminating between high-frequency and low-frequency accident locations are mainly related to infrastructure and location.

Data mining is a process of knowledge discovery to extract the interesting, previously unknown, potentially useful, and nontrivial patterns from large data sets. Currently, there is an increasing interest in data mining in traffic accidents, which makes it a growing new research community. A large number of traffic accidents in recent years have generated large amounts of traffic accident data. The mining algorithms had a great role in determining the causes of these accidents, especially the association rule algorithms. One challenging problem in data mining is effective association rules mining with the huge transactional databases, many efforts have been made to propose and improve association rules mining methods. In the paper, we use the RapidMiner application to design a process that can generate association rules based on clustering algorithms.

The basic approaches for identifying dangerous road sections for prioritizing road safety measures are outlined. The effectiveness of the result depends on how well the areas where the road safety measures need to be implemented are identified. Suggestions for identifying dangerous places on the roads according to the statistics of traffic accidents using the methods of probability theory are given. On the basis of the analysis of statistics on roads with different number of adventures, limit values of the admissible number of adventures on sections of roads of different length are established. It is proved that it is necessary to create a comprehensive approach to solving a complex problem – improving road safety. Оne of the important approaches for the definition of dangerous road sections according to the data of road accidents, which is proposed by the authors, is the method of detection of sections (places) of concentration of road accidents (black spots). The purpose of this article is to: introduce an approach in road safety management to reduce the number of road accidents and the severity of their consequences on Ukraine’s highways by first implementing measures to improve road conditions and improve road organization. The effectiveness of the result in reducing the number of traffic accidents depends on the areas so clearly identified that, in the first place, it is necessary to implement measures to improve road safety. That is why this approach was introduced in traffic safety management. The purposeful financing of measures, aimed primarily at eliminating such sites, will help to reduce the number of road accidents and the severity of their consequences. Keywords: road safety, methods of analysis, dangerous road sections, place of concentration of road accidents, black spots, road accident.

Abstract Analysis of road traffic accidents revealed that most accidents are as a result of drivers’ errors. Over the years, active safety systems (ASS) were devised in vehicle to reduce the high level of road accidents, caused by human errors, leading to death and injuries. This study however evaluated the impacts of ASS inclusions into vehicles in Nigeria road transportation network. The objectives was to measure how ASS contributed to making driving safer and enhanced transport safety. Road accident data were collected, for a period of eleven years, from Lagos State Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget, Central Office of Statistics. Quantitative analysis of the retrospective accident was conducted by computing the proportion of yearly number of vehicles involved in road accident to the total number of vehicles for each year. Results of the analysis showed that the proportion of vehicles involved in road accidents decreased from 16 in 1996 to 0.89 in 2006, the injured persons reduced from 15.58 in 1998 to 0.3 in 2006 and the death rate diminished from 4.45 in 1998 to 0.1 in 2006. These represented 94.4 %, 95 % and 95 % improvement respectively on road traffic safety. It can therefore be concluded that the inclusions of ASS into design of modern vehicles had improved road safety in Nigeria automotive industry.

Both visualization and data mining have become important tools in discovering hidden relationships in large data sets, and in extracting useful knowledge and information from large databases. Even though many algorithms for mining association rules have been researched extensively in the past decade, they do not incorporate users in the association-rule mining process. Most of these algorithms generate a large number of association rules, some of which are not practically interesting. This chapter presents a new technique that integrates visualization into the mining association rule process. Users can apply their knowledge and be involved in finding interesting association rules through interactive visualization, after obtaining visual feedback as the algorithm generates association rules. In addition, the users gain insight and deeper understanding of their data sets, as well as control over mining meaningful association rules.

 In current days, World Wide Web has grown into a familiar medium to investigate the new information, Business trends, trading strategies so on. Several organizations and companies are also contracting the web in order to present their products or services across the world. E-commerce is a kind of business or saleable transaction that comprises the transfer of statistics across the web or internet. In this situation huge amount of data is obtained and dumped into the web services. This data overhead tends to arise difficulties in determining the accurate and valuable information, hence the web data mining is used as a tool to determine and mine the knowledge from the web. Web data mining technology can be applied by the E-commerce organizations to offer personalized E-commerce solutions and better meet the desires of customers. By using data mining algorithm such as ontology based association rule mining using apriori algorithms extracts the various useful information from the large data sets .We are implementing the above data mining technique in JAVA and data sets are dynamically generated while transaction is processing and extracting various patterns.

Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) are a major public concern, resulting in an estimated 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries worldwide each year. In the developing world, RTAs are among the leading cause of death and injury. Most of the analysis of road accident uses data mining techniques which provide productive results. The analysis of the accident locations can help in identifying certain road accident features that make a road accident to occur frequently in the locations. Association rule mining is one of the popular data mining techniques that identify the correlation in various attributes of road accident. Data analysis has the capability to identify different reasons behind road accidents. In the existing system, k-means algorithm is applied to group the accident locations into three clusters. Then the association rule mining is used to characterize the locations. Most state of the art traffic management and information systems focus on data analysis and very few have been done in the sense of classification. So, the proposed system uses classification technique to predict the severity of the accident which will bring out the factors behind road accidents that occurred and a predictive model is constructed using fuzzy logic to predict the location wise accident frequency.

A buffet restaurant is a restaurant that provides buffet food that is served directly at the dining table so that customers can order more food according to their needs. This study uses the association rule method which is one of the methods of data mining and a priori algorithms. Data mining is the process of discovering patterns or rules in data, in which the process must be automatic or semi-automatic. Association rules are one of the techniques of data mining that is used to look for relationships between items in a dataset. While  the apriori algorithm is a very well-known algorithm for finding high-frequency patterns, this a priori algorithm is a type of association rule in data mining. High- frequency patterns are patterns of items in the database that have frequencies or support. This high-frequency pattern is used to develop rules and also some other data mining techniques. The composition of the food menu in the Asgar restaurant is now arranged randomly without being prepared on the food menu between one another. The result of this research is  to support the composition of the food menu at the Asgar restaurant so that it is easier to take food menu with one another.
