Version 0.1 (original submission)

· Dec 24, 2020 · Academic Editor

Minor Revisions

The reviews are quite positive and the paper is well written. However, reviewers 1 and 3 have valid concerns about the model you have used (no control for random variation) and the comparison of results from previous years.

Reviewer 1 ·

Basic reporting

The paper is by and large clear, but would still benefit from language editing.

Experimental design

The paper applies an appropriate method, although it does not achieve control for random variation like the Empirical Bayes method.

Validity of the findings

The findings are valid.

Additional comments

There is limited overlap between the hazardous road locations identified in the two periods. Could tjis lead to false alarms?

Basic reporting

Number of sentences that will need to be rephrased in an academic style

Experimental design

no cooment

Validity of the findings

In the past, car accidents have been investigated for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless, we need to study the analysis that has been carried out on the same dataset. In the end, I would like to see a comparison table for the same dataset between the current research and previous ones.

Additional comments

The subject is hot; however, the chosen dataset has a number of limitations. I wish an AI approach has been used to extend the dataset before using them.
