Abstract: In order to improve the road traffic environment in the plateau area,and increase the identification accuracy of black spots, based on statistical data on road traffic accidents in Yunnan province from 2010 to 2015, the statistical analysis method was used to analyze the characteristics of highway traffic accidents and temporal and spatial distribution in the plateau area. Regarding the number of accidents and the number of equivalent accidents in millions of kilometers as indicators, the systematic clustering method was used to identify the type of highway traffic accidents in the plateau area. Then, it was analyzed with Kunshi expressway as an example,a total of 11 accident-prone points were identified, which match the actual situation effectively. The results show that,in terms of time distribution,highway traffic accidents in the plateau area happen frequently in winter and spring, that the accident rate is highest in the afternoon and the evening, that in terms of space, road accidents in the counties and townships in the plateau region occur more frequently, that from the point of view of accidents, highway accidents in the plateau area are mostly frontal collisions and scratching pedestrians, which occupied 57% of the total number of accidents.

Key words: traffic engineering, plateau area, highway traffic, system clustering, accident multiple point, identification
