Increasing Number of Vehicles and Traffic Accidents in Turkey: Current Situation and Future Predictions
Abstract
Statistics on road safety and traffic accidents show that the increasing number of vehicles causes a significant increase in the number of accidents. As a result of urbanization and population growth, the number of vehicles using the roads is increasing rapidly. This increase increases traffic congestion and therefore the risk of accidents, especially in big cities and heavy traffic areas. This study aims to comprehensively examine the effects of vehicle excess on traffic accidents and make predictions on possible future scenarios. Within the scope of the study, existing traffic data will be analyzed and changes in accident rates will be evaluated as the number of vehicles increases.
