AN ACCIDENT TREND MODEL

Factors influencing the time trend of motor vehicle deaths are identified and analyzed. The impact of changes in passenger cars was functionally modeled. For the input of other factors, a formal model was developed. This model was tested against the past trend. Projections of the future trend in passenger car occupant deaths were made under alternative assumptions on future passenger car sales.
