Dear authors,
I recommend adding a comparison of your results to other published approaches, for example:

Reviewer 2 Report
I have gone through the paper “Methodology for optimizing factors affecting road accidents in Poland,” and I have the following observations:
- Equation number (10) is not in the appropriate place.
- Equation number (42) is not written in the proper paragraph.
- The discussion section should be incorporated.
- Results have not been analyzed; classified case-to-case situations should do it.
The paper should be a major revision with the above-given suggestions.
Author Response
Dear Professor,
Thank you for your valuable comments on my article. As per your suggestion, I have added the following in the paper:
- I changed the location of equation 10
- I left equation 42 in the same place because I believe it is in the right place. This is due to the algorithm of the optimization process to determine the distance rj from the ideal point
- I modified the discussion and results section,
The changes have been highlighted in yellow.

Reviewer 3 Report
1. Increase the horizontal comparison between the model in the text and other models, and explain the advantages of the model in the text.
2. The four and five parts of the article from data processing to conclusions are abrupt, and the whole article is about multi-criteria optimization. Except for the traffic factors included in the variables, other parts do not reflect the content related to traffic accidents. The traffic language should be used for correlation analysis after data processing, explain the application of this method in the factors affecting traffic accidents, and strengthen the correlation between research methods and research contents.
Author Response
Professor, thank you for your valuable comments. The following things have been corrected in the article:
- Issues related to days of the week have been corrected.
- Other methods of forecasting the number of traffic accidents have been characterized
- Contributions of co-authors have been corrected
Best Regards
Piotr Gorzelanczyk
