Randomized trial examines crash severity predictors in Saudi Arabia, highlighting driver behavior's role.

This study investigates the relationships among factors influencing road crash severity, particularly focusing on driver behavior in Saudi Arabia.
Utilized crash data from 2017 to 2022 from the Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services (MOTLS) in Saudi Arabia
Developed multiple machine learning models including Decision Tree, Random Forest, AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost
Conducted global SHAP analyses to assess feature contributions and interactions affecting crash severity.
XGBoost model demonstrated superior performance in predicting crash severity.
Key predictors identified include Accident Type, Accident Cause, Road Surface Condition, Road Type, and Vehicle Type.
Speeding and freeway road type significantly impacted fatal crashes, while fatigue contributed to injury crashes.

Damene et al. (2026) studied this question.
