EVALUASI METODE UNSUPERVISED LEARNING DALAM PENGELOMPOKAN DATA KECELAKAAN LALU LINTAS UNTUK MENGIDENTIFIKASI POLA SPASIAL BERDASARKAN LOKASI DAN TINGKAT KEPARAHAN
Traffic accidents are one of the transportation issues that require distribution analysis to identify areas with different accident characteristics. This study aims to compare the K-Means, DBSCAN, and Hierarchical Clustering methods in clustering traffic accident data based on geographical location and accident severity. The dataset used is derived from traffic accident data in the United Kingdom (UK) with three features, namely longitude, latitude, and collision severity. The evaluation was conducted using the Silhouette Score and Davies–Bouldin Index (DBI), supported by spatial analysis thru centroids, Haversine distance, and cluster distribution visualization. The research results show that K-Means produces 7 clusters with a Silhouette Score of 0.5280 and a DBI of 0.7742. DBSCAN produces 16 clusters and 130 noise data points with a Silhouette Score of 0.3535 and a DBI of 0.5740, while Hierarchical Clustering produces 10 clusters with a Silhouette Score of 0.4777 and a DBI of 0.8471. Based on the results of the evaluation and spatial interpretation, K-Means provides the best performance because it produces more balanced clusters, is easy to interpret, and can represent the entire data without noise. Therefore, K-Means is considered the most suitable for illustrating the distribution pattern of traffic accidents based on location and severity of accidents in the dataset used.
