| Summary: | Road accidents is one of the major contributors of
human deaths in Malaysia. In the year 2005, 326,850
accidents were recorded, resulting in an average 17
deaths from road accident every single day. Federal
Route 50 from Batu Pahat to Ayer Hitam experienced
4,842 road accidents between the years 2000 and 2005,
killing 244 people and injuring 1,644 people. The
purpose of this study is to perform an accident
investigation and propose improvements at Pintas
Puding area, and to develop an accident prediction
model for Federal Route 50 by using multiple linear
regression. The road accident trend and blackspot
ranking were established at Federal Route (FT 50)
Batu Pahat - Ayer Hitam. It was revealed that the
increment of accident rates can be explained by either
the rise in speed, number of major access point and
traffic volume. |
