Bibliometric and visual knowledge graph analysis of road traffic accident influencing factors in China based on CiteSpace
Road traffic accidents have become a prominent issue affecting economic and social development and people's sense of safety.Visual quantitative analysis of the current situation,development trends,and hotspots in the research field of road traffic accident influencing factors helps to explore the essence and laws of road traffic accidents.Taking 400 valid literature related to the influencing factors of road traffic ac-cidents in China from January 1985 to March 2023 checked in the journal database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)as the research object,utilizing the visualization function of CiteSpace literature metrology software platform,by the bibliometric and network knowledge graph analysis meth-ods,this paper conducted the visual analysis of the number of literature publications,core authors and co-occurrence networks,distribution of core institutions,and keyword co-occurrence graphs,keyword cluste-ring and emergence,exploring the current status,future development trends,and hotspots of research on the influencing factors of road traffic accidents.The results indicate that the core authors in the field of re-search on the influencing factors of road traffic accidents include Li Rui et al.,and the main research teams include teams led by Wang Li and Li Xiuli;traffic accidents,traffic safety,highways,and traffic engineer-ing are hot topics in the field of research on the influencing factors of road traffic accidents,which are con-sistent with industry management practices.The research on the influencing factors of road traffic accidents of new energy vehicles and autonomous vehicle will become the research hotspot and development trend in this field in the future.The research results can provide reference for further research on road traffic acci-dents.
