A Correlation of Traffic Accident Fatalities, Speed Enforcement and the Gross National Income of Thailand and its Cross-border Countries
Currently, the ASEAN Community has opened and this has resulted in the expansion of the road network between member countries, making it more convenient to drive crossing the border. However, the difference in laws relating to the speed limits and their enforcement may result in drivers unknowin...

description |
Currently, the ASEAN Community has opened
and this has resulted in the expansion of the road network between member
countries, making it more convenient to drive crossing the border. However, the
difference in laws relating to the speed limits and their enforcement may
result in drivers unknowingly violating the laws in each country, leading to an
increased risk of accidents. This research aims to determine the statistical
correlation between the traffic accident fatalities, the enforcement of speed
limits with the gross national incomes of Thailand and its cross-border
countries. Linear and non-linear regression analyses were applied to develop
models explaining their correlations at 95% confidence level. The results
indicated that those countries with higher efficiency in enforcement on
speeding laws and greater gross national income have a lower rate of traffic
accident fatalities. The results of this study are useful for responsible
agencies to determine the required traffic safety strategies in order to reduce
the number of traffic accidents within ASEAN countries. |
