THE APPLICATION OF SMEED'S EQUATION FOR ROAD ACCIDENTS IN GREECE

A statistical analysis of data from a 14-year record concerning the relationship between fatal road accidents and number of registered vehicles in Greece showed that such a relation could be described at a fairly good degree of accuracy by Smeed's equation. It is apparent that if the above equation would be used to estimate future road accidents in Greece an increased value for the constant coefficient should be used. (Author/TRRL)
