Road traffic accidents, especially expressway traffic accidents, have become a severe problem in China. Under this condition, identification of road traffic accident prone locations is in urgent need. This work proposes a modification of DBSCAN clustering algorithm with parameters \(\varepsilon \) and \(\text {minPts}\) carefully chosen for identifying traffic accident prone locations. Experimental results on traffic accident datasets of three national expressways are given, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
