Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a powerful tool for handling spatial dependence. In this paper we present how they can be used to estimate the propensity to get an accident for any edge of a road network. The results might be useful for policy makers to mitigate crash events. Implementing GNN requires some care due to the strong imbalance of the dataset. A test to validate the capability of GNN to capture the local dependence of crashes has been considered.

Abstract
Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a powerful tool for handling spatial dependence. In this paper we present how they can be used to estimate the propensity to get an accident for any edge of a road network. The results might be useful for policy makers to mitigate crash events. Implementing GNN requires some care due to the strong imbalance of the dataset. A test to validate the capability of GNN to capture the local dependence of crashes has been considered.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
