Abstract
Analysis of traffic accidents is of a vital importance to
traffic engineers. The tremendous cost of motor vehicle
accidents causes not only much suffering and misery but
also large economic losses. For instance the average
economic losses in Egypt due to fatalities in traffic
accidents on Cairo-Alexandria Agricultural Road exceeded
one hundred and fifty million Egyptian pounds during 1988
while the costs of the total accidents were about two
hundred million Egyptian pounds (see Table 1.1 which shows
the total costs due to accidents on the Egyptian Intercity
Road Network [1]). The figures included in this table are
a part of a study carried out in the early of 1980’s on six
intercity roads in Egypt as well as the street system in
three urban areas in Greater Cairo. A summary of this
study will be illustrated in chapter 2.
