Class distribution of unbalanced data is an important part of the digital world and is a significant part of cybersecurity. Abnormal activity of unbalanced data should be found and problems solved. Although a system capable of tracking patterns in all transactions is needed, machine learning with disproportionate data, which typically has abnormal patterns, can ignore and degrade performance for minority layers, and predictive models can be inaccurately biased. In this paper, we predict target variables and improve accuracy by combining estimates using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) and Light GBM algorithms as an approach to address unbalanced datasets. Experimental results were compared with logistic regression, decision tree, KNN, Random Forest, and XGBoost algorithms. The performance was similar in accuracy and reproduction rate, but in precision, two algorithms performed at Random Forest 80.76% and Light GBM 97.16%, and in F1-score, Random Forest 84.67% and Light GBM 91.96%. As a result of this experiment, it was confirmed that Light GBM's performance was similar without deviation or improved by up to 16% compared to five algorithms.

This study aims to classify the severity in car crashes using five classification learning models. The dataset used in this study contains 21,013 vehicle crashes, obtained from Korea Expressway Corporation, between the year of 2015-2017 and the LightGBM(Light Gradient Boosting Model) performed well with the highest accuracy. LightGBM, the number of involved vehicles, type of accident, incident location, incident lane type, types of accidents, types of vehicles involved in accidents were shown as priority factors. Based on the results of this model, the establishment of a management strategy for response of highway traffic accident should be presented through a consistent prediction process of accident severity level. This study identifies applicability of Machine Learning Models for Predicting of the Severity of Car Traffic Accidents on a Highway and suggests that various machine learning techniques based on big data that can be used in the future.
