Abstract

This paper aims to study and analyze the characteristics of road accidents in Egypt, Egyptian Governorate groups and compares the situation of road accidents with that of the other countries. These groups are based on car ownership for governorates. The highest vehicle ownership is found in Suez governorate (about 300 vehicle / 1000 pop.) while the lowest vehicle ownership is found in Sohag (about 15 vehicle / 1000 pop.). Also, the accidents models for Egypt and Egyptian Governorate groups are estimated based on the date collected for accident's number, fatalities, injuries, vehicle ownership and population during the last five years. The highest number of accidents, fatalities and injuries was recorded in 1997. The fatalities rates of Egypt are 26 killed / 100000 pop, and 280 killed / 100000 motor vehicles. These rates are higher than those of the developed countries. In addition, the data analysis proved that high motorization rate is dangerous as the low motorization rate. Average of vehicle of 30-45 vehicle / 1000 pop. is found to be the safest range to keep accidents, fatalities and injuries in minimum levels. The comparison between estimated models and international model has been evaluated to reduce the number of accidents in Egypt.
