AI summary

A method and apparatus for identifying a traffic accident, a device and a computer storage medium are disclosed, which relates to the technical fields of intelligent traffic and big data. An implementation includes: acquiring road features, environmental features and road traffic stream features; inputting the road features, the environmental features and the road traffic stream features into a pre-trained traffic-accident identifying model to obtain an accident-information identifying result of a road which at least includes an accident identifying result. In the present application, the accident road may be automatically identified according to the road features, the environmental features and the road traffic stream features. Compared with a traditional manual reporting way, timeliness is stronger, and a coverage rate is higher.
