SOME FACTORS AFFECTING THE INCREASE OF ROAD ACCIDENTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ISRAEL

IT IS ASSUMED THAT IN THE 1980'S MILEAGE PER VEHICLE AND PER CAPITA IN ISRAEL WILL APPROACH THE FIGURES CURRENT IN SUCH COUNTRIES AS THE U.S.A. AND ENGLAND, I.E., APPROXIMATELY 15,000 KM. PER VEHICLE. ON THE BASIS OF THIS ASSUMPTION AND OTHER DETAILED ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING THE RATIO OF CASUALTIES TO VEHICLES INVOLVED, AND THE SEVERITY OF ACCIDENTS, THE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES AND FATALITIES HAS BEEN COMPUTED FOR A VEHICLE POPULATION OF ONE MILLION IN ISRAEL. THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES PER ONE MILLION POPULATION IN ISRAEL IS COMPARED WITH ENGLAND AND THE U. S., AND THE COMPUTED FIGURE IS 1,170 FATALITIES IN 1985. THE ANTICIPATED RISE IN THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES TO 45,000 AND 1,170 RESPECTIVELY BY 1985 INDICATES AN AVERAGE ANNUAL GROWTH OF APPROXIMATELY 5%.
