However, to simplify the calculation complexity, most of the current research considers the impact of a few key factors and ignores multiple factors' impact in reality. To address this problem, we propose traffic accident prediction methods based on multi-factor models. The model introduces information including the severity of the traffic accident, the weather in which the accident occurred, and the external geographic environment to construct a multiple factors model to improve the prediction accuracy. Also, we can use more factors to construct the multi-factor model with the enrichment of data information. The multi-factor model can overcome the shortcomings of existing models in filtering data fluctuations and achieve more accurate predictions by extracting time-periodic features in time series. Furthermore, we combine the multi-factor models with different deep learning models to propose multiple traffic accident prediction methods to explore multi-factor models' effects in traffic accident prediction.
