| Summary: | This study reviews the relationship of accident frequency and road condition in 36
various selected sites in Peninsula Malaysia. The road accident statistics data were
collected from the Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia (JKR). The road accident statistics data
obtained is from year 2012 to year 2014. Microsoft Excel 2007 was used in this
investigation to tabulate the table and plot the graph to show the relationship between
road accident frequency and road condition in 36 various selected site in Peninsula
Malaysia. This investigation shows that number of accident increase as pavement texture
depth and pavement surface friction increases. This investigation also shows that surface
friction increase as the pavement texture depth increases. Besides that, this investigation
shows that number of accident increase as the speed limit increases. |
