According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 1. As most studies on road traffic PDF | Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a major public health concern, resulting in an estimated 1. The study develops statistical regression model between some road geometric characteristics and traffic crash taking the Ethiopian capital (Addis Ababa) as a case study and using police record Data mining technologies are applied to link recorded road characteristics to accident severity in Ethiopia, and a set of rules that could be used by the Ethiopian Traffic Agency to improve safety are developed. Road safety depends on humans, vehicles, and highway conditions. 57, 3. Its regulation is an important area of traffic civil law. This study introduces a new approach that combines Getis-Ord spatial statistics and crash rate analysis to identify significant road traffic accidents (RTAs) characterized by hotspots on road segments in Addis Ababa’s road network. 6 per 100,000 population versus 9. fatal injuries as a result of road traffic crashes [1]. The majority of this disability was caused by orthopedic More than half victims (59. Ethiopia, a developing country in Africa, has witnessed a number of the most risky roads in the world and has followed to overtake a Because crashes are unavoidable, mitigating their consequences can be accomplished by systematically analyzing them and implementing appropriate solutions such as traffic control equipment, better road design, traffic regulation enforcement, and, most importantly, provisions for efficient emergency response and optimum access to emergency healthcare Research prepared under our guidance, by EYOB MEKONNEN KEBEDE entitled: Blackspot 4. The main aim of this study was to identify and Road traffic accidents are the major cause of mortality among people aged 15–29 years in Africa.

A road traffic accident can be defined as, an event that occurs on a way or street open to designing strategies to decrease death from road traffic accidents by giving great emphasis to road traffic accident victims with co-morbid conditions and severe injury and focusing on the availability and accessibility of pre-hospital care service. This will help to identify the parts of a road that are risky, thus supporting traffic accident data analysis in decision-making processes.
