Traffic accidents are among the most important problems in Turkey. Traffic accidents cause a lot
of loss of life and property and cause negative social and psychological effects on the society. Determination
of the conditions that could result in a fatal or injured accident is very important for taking preventive, warning
and preventive measures. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate the relationships between the parameters
that cause traffic accidents. If the number of variables is more than twice, it is very complicated to visualize the
multivariate data visually. The Biplot analysis method is very useful for interpreting a multivariate dataset with
less geometric dimensions. In this article, the traffic accidents data set on seven different divided roadways was
evaluated by Principal Components Analysis (PCA) biplot analysis method. The aim of this study is to investigate
the relationships between parameters that cause traffic accidents resulting in fatal and injury. The results show
that day (night), day (daylight), multi-vehicle, single vehicle, accident type (run-off-road), no intersection and
intersection parameters are the most important parameters in fatal and injured accidents. The evaluation of the
relationships between parameters affecting traffic accidents by biplot method will contribute to the development of
preventive measures to reduce traffic accidents and will constitute an important ground for future studies.
