| description | The research was conducted to study three main causes of road traffic accidents in Johor,
namely the time of occurrence, type of road and type of vehicle. Analysis was made to
determine during which hours and what types of roads and vehicles contribute the most
and the least to the numbers of fatalities, seriously injured drivers and road users
suffering minor injuries from the year 2008 to 2013. With regards to time of occurrence,
it was found that accidents occur the most during 4-10 pm and the least during 2-6 am.
With regards to type of road, vehicles are most likely to be involved in road accidents on
straight roads and least likely on roundabout, elevated and staggered junctions. With
regards to type of vehicle, cars have the highest possibilities of being involved in
accidents on roads, followed by motorcycles. Other types of vehicle only account for
insignificant reported cases of accidents within those six years. Comparison among the
three factors was also made and the time of occurrence and type of vehicle are found to
be contributing to the most and the least numbers of fatalities and motorists suffering
both serious and minor injuries respectively. The HoltWinters time series function in the
R software was used to forecast total numbers of road users killed, seriously injured and
suffering minor injuries until the year 2020 based on the existing statistics. With the aim
to reduce the predicted values, countermeasures as discussed in chapter 2 regarding the
literature review were proposed with regards to respective causes of accident. |
