Presentation of clustering-classification heuristic method for improvement accuracy in classification of severity of road accidents in Iran.

Highlights: [•] This paper addresses a new clustering-classification method for classifying the severity of road accidents in Iran. [•] k-Means and some classification methods are used for running numerical experiments. [•] Some activation functions have been used for training the neural networks. The results of them are compared together. [•] Also, the accuracy of classification is compared by using different approaches in k-mean. [•] Silhouette technique was used to confirm the validity of the clusters. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
