Abstract

We analysed data from the National Traffic Agency (ANT) of traffic accidents between 2017 and 2022 using a sample size of 76,300. We performed a logistic regression to evaluate the predictive factors for fatal traffic accidents. The results showed that women had a lower probability of dying than men, and the probability of fatality was reduced on weekdays and in urban zones between 6:00 and 12:00 and when the affected people were aged under 60 years. The risks of death among passengers and pedestrians, accidents occurring during holidays, and accidents involving other types of vehicles were significantly higher compared to the counterparts. Depending on the type of accident, the risk of death increased in run-over, hit, crash, lane deviation, and overturning accidents; meanwhile, it decreased in passenger drop-off, collision, and friction accidents. We identified different factors that were associated with higher road accident fatalities, such as the hour of the day, zone, time of the week, sex, and age, which were significant factors that matched in each year of the study. The results suggest relevant patterns that require the enforcement of traffic regulations. Further controls regarding speeding, seat belt use, and helmet use for drivers and passengers to reduce injuries and fatalities.
厄瓜多尔致命道路交通事故的危险因素
我们分析了2017年至2022年国家交通管理局(ANT)的交通事故数据,样本量为76300人。我们使用逻辑回归来评估致命交通事故的预测因素。结果表明,妇女的死亡概率低于男子,在工作日和城市地区6点至12点之间以及受影响的人年龄在60岁以下时,死亡概率降低。与同行相比,乘客和行人的死亡风险、假日期间发生的事故以及涉及其他类型车辆的事故明显更高。根据事故类型的不同,翻车、撞击、撞车、车道偏离和翻车事故的死亡风险增加;同时,乘客落客、碰撞、摩擦事故有所减少。我们确定了与较高的交通事故死亡率相关的不同因素,如一天中的时间,区域,一周中的时间,性别和年龄,这些都是在每年的研究中匹配的重要因素。研究结果提出了相关的模式,需要执行交通法规。进一步控制驾驶员和乘客的超速、安全带的使用和头盔的使用,以减少伤害和死亡。
