The invention relates to a highway dangerous section identification technology, in particular to a highway dangerous section identification method. According to the method, the problems that the potential dangerous road sections cannot be identified, the identification accuracy is low and the identification period is long in an existing highway dangerous road section identification method, are solved. The highway dangerous section identification method is realized by the following steps of 1, collecting the technical indexes of each road section; 2, determining whether a certain road section is an evaluation object or not according to the technical indexes of the road section; 3, calculating the intrinsic risk value of the road section determined as the evaluation object according to the technical indexes of the road section; 4, determining an operation risk influence coefficient of the road section determined as the evaluation object; 5, calculating an operation risk value F accordingto the essential risk value and the operation risk influence coefficient of the road section; and 6, determining the risk level according to the operation risk value F of the road section. The methodis suitable for identifying the dangerous road sections.
