H. A. Akpughe, P. O. Asagba, C. Ugwu . An Improved Traffic Crime Predictive System using Multinomial Naive Bayes Text Classification Algorithm. International Journal of Computer Applications. 182, 39 ( Feb 2019), 24-31. DOI=10.5120/ijca2019918483
Traffic law enforcement agencies in Nigeria have faced a huge setback as they do not have records of offenders or criminals that have been persecuted in the past. In this paper, a system was developed that can predict the possible class of traffic crime together with the penalty attached to that class of criminal offence that a known traffic criminal offender is most likely to commit next. The likelihood and frequency table will be constructed from a dataset of traffic crime data, the likelihood of a user falling under a particular class of traffic crime will also be established. Also, proposed to be designed and developed is a predictive system that uses object-oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM), improved naïve bayes text classification algorithm to solve these problems. This will be achieved by implementing the stated model with python model-view-controller (MVC) framework known as Django Framework. This improved system is implemented using a real-time, cloud-hosted NOSQL database called FireBase which guarantees scalability. From the results, it was found out that the speed and predictability of probability of any user falling under a class 1 crime type was 81.42% and 10.39%, 8.19% for class 2 and class 3 respectively.
