AB Working hours in Spain is generally last for 8 hours per day with a maximum of 40 hoursper week. Working hours, therefore, can impact the traffic flow and characteristics due tothe intensity of road usage by different road users. On the other side, traffic accidents canalso be impacted by several temporal factors that may lead to a higher number of trafficaccidents or may increase the level of injury alongside other risk factors. In this study, thesetimings are examined to comprehend the influence of the temporal factors represented bythe working hours scheme on traffic accident injuries in Barcelona. Another temporal factorwhich is the season of the year is included to provide a wider and clearer image for theconducted results and the current situation. The data is collected from the open data serviceprovided by the City Hall of Barcelona. Data preparation and segregation to include thecategories of working hours that may lead to a different level of injury resulted from a trafficaccident is, firstly, carried. Then, a machine learning model is applied to classify thecorrelations for both the temporal factors and traffic accidents. Eventually, a TreeAugmented Naïve Bayes model is applied. The results showed that both working hourstiming and summer season have higher probabilities of having traffic accidents slight injurieswith different medical care assistance provided compared to other timings.
