Traffic Violation Analysis in Kyrgyzstan (2019-2023): Utilizing Data-Driven Strategies for Enhanced Traffic Management and Violation Mitigation

The explosive growth in the use of motor vehicles has caused many issues in ensuring road and traffic safety. The aim of this paper is to establish the trends and factors that explain traffic violations across the Republic of Kyrgyzstan from 2019 to 2023 to provide information that can be utilized by traffic management authorities. To this end we analyze the frequency and types of violations as well as the distribution of violations by date and time, geographical regions, and types of vehicles from a data set that has sourced more than 2,354,392 recorded traffic violations since Safe City Project commenced in Kyrgyzstan. The analysis defines the places and times where there is traffic, most violations of traffic laws and their major causes. The results inform smart and evidence-based approaches aimed at the enhancement of traffic control, improving compliance levels and overall tackling of the problem of road safety. This work also emphasizes the importance of data analytics applications in addressing the problems of managing traffic in big cities efficiently.
