abstract = "Traffic accidents represent a major problem
threatening peoples lives, health, and property.
Traffic behaviour and driving in particular is a social
and cultural phenomenon that exhibits significant
differences across countries and regions. Therefore,
traffic models developed in one country might not be
suitable for other countries. Similarly, attributes of
importance, dependencies, and patterns found in data
describing traffic in one region might not be valid for
other regions. All this makes traffic accident analysis
and modelling a task suitable for data mining and
machine learning approaches that develop models based
on actual real-world data. In this study, we
investigate a data set describing traffic accidents in
Ethiopia and use a machine learning method based on
artificial evolution and fuzzy systems to mine symbolic
description of selected features of the data set.",
