Evaluating the Effective Factors on Motorcycle Accidents and its Consequences in the Roads of Bushehr Province

Motorcycle accidents have a high proportion of the total traffic accidents. On the base of available statistics, motorcycle accidents in the Bushehr Province are high. Because of many negative consequences that these accidents cause for motorcyclists and generally for society, it is important to identify the factors affecting such an accidents and provide some guidelines in order to removing or reducing those factors. In this study, the effective factors on motorcycle accidents and its consequences in the roads of Bushehr province are evaluated for three years 2009-2011). For this, we have analyzed a sample of 140 motorcycle accidents in these three years. In order to analyzing the data, first we have described the effective factors causing such an accidents (road and climate related factors, vehicle related factors, human related factors and complete reasons) by use of descriptive statistical tools such as graphs and tables, and then, we have presented the model of the most effective factors regarding each group. In the next section, we have tested the research hypothesizes by using of binominal test. All computations have done in the sps 18 software. The research hypotheses are about the effect of the most important factorsrelated to road and climate, vehicle, human and complete reasons groups. In addition, we test three hypothesizes about the percentages obtained from the samples of three groups (road and climate related factors, vehicle related factors and human related factors) in order to generalize them to Statistical population. In general, 22 hypothesizes are considered in this study for all of which the binominal test has been used. The results showed that in the selected level of significant, all hypothesizes were confirmed.
