With the acceleration of urbanisation and the rapid increase in road traffic volume, the scientific prediction of traffic accidents has become crucial for improving road safety and enhancing traffic efficiency. However, traffic accident prediction is a complex and multifaceted problem that requires the comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including people, vehicles, roads and the environment. This paper provides a detailed analysis of traffic accident prediction based on multi-source data. By thoroughly considering data sources, data processing and prediction methods, this paper introduces the various aspects of traffic accident prediction from different perspectives. It helps readers understand the characteristics of different data and methods, the process of accident prediction and the key technologies involved. At the end of the paper, the main challenges and future directions in road crash prediction research are summarised. For example, the lack of efficient data sharing between different departments and fields poses significant challenges to the integration of multi-source data. In the future, combining deep learning models with time-sensitive data, such as social media and vehicle network data, could effectively improve the accuracy of real-time accident prediction.
